Gale Sveeps Halifax;
 Suffering On Increase

ST. JOHNS, N. B, Dec. S.--The work of rescuinc the dead ard in jured from the wreckage If the buildings which were demolished by the explosion aboard rhe French am munition ship Mont Blanc has been interrupted by severe blizzard, which has been raging during the past twenty-four hours The re suit of this delay probably has al- ready resulted in the death of many of the injured, who lay freezing in the debris. There is also the fear that many of the relief trains, now enroute to Halifax from Canadian and American cities, will be delayed by the storm, which has enveloped the entire north country. Should this delay occur. famine certainly will result, for supplies needed in the emergency, already are running low. The trains are blowing ahead steadily, but the 40-mile gale which is blowing renders the progress ex- ceedngly slow and uncertain.
 The latest Halifax estimate places the number of dead at between Der of injured. One of today's ar rivals from the stricken city reports having seen 1,600 bodies recovered from the ruins. and others tell of seeing scores of dead lying in the streets, where they were piled as they were dragged from the wreck age. The Dominion building, pro vincial parliament building, govern ment house and other building are being used as temporary hospital and morgues.
 The property damage is now placed at thirty millions. There is scarcely window or glass door left in any building in the city, which, in view of the fact thal the weather has turned cold sudderly, aids great ly to the sufferng of the residents. In addition, there are thousands whose homes were entirely lemolish- ed by the explosion Providing shc!t- CT for these presents d serious prob lem.

STRUGGLE IN ITALY
 GROWS SEVERE

GENEVA, Dec. s.-The New bat tie along the Piave river, i:i Italy, continues with great ferocity, ac- cording to dispatches received in this city this afternoon from Vienna. The Austro- Hungarian troops which stormed Mount Sisemol are now try ing to drive southward, to the west of Mount Grappa, for the purpose of making that position untenable by striking at the Italian flank.
 The Teutons are credited with i'm portant victories in the mountain district, where they have occupied many towns during the two days that their offensive has been in pro- gress. Many additional prisoners are reported to have been taken to- day.
 Fresh Austro- German forces are arriving continually on the Italian line from the French and Russian fronts, adding greatly to the jeo- pardy of the Italian positions.

GOLD NO HANDICAP
 ID SIDEWALK WORK

It is not often that one hears of sidewalks being built during the winter months in Interior Alaska, vet that is what is taking place in Nenana this winter. Several thous- and feet of walk has been laid since the commencement of winter and it will be another week at least before all of this work has been completed. Contractor Anderson re- ports that he has about three blocks of walk yet to lay on Second street, Ad every day finds him busily en- gagged at his task, regardless of weather conditions.
 The means employed by MT. An derson to enable him to stick to his work in extreme weather and in the dark hours of early morning and evening, is somewhat in the na- ture of a novelty. He has a stove mounted on a small hand sleigh, for instance, which he moves about with him as the work progresses. This enables him to warm his hands as occasion requires. And a lantern furnishes light for the work. when there is not sufficient light.
 When this work is completed, the town of Nenana will have substan- tial walks on all of its principal streets, including A street, Market street and First and Second streets, from 4 street to F.
