Blizzard Follows Disaster.

Halifax, Dec. 7.-Stricken Halifax
was swept tonight by raging bliz-
zard. So fierce was the storm that
rescue workers were forced to sus-
pend their operations in the devas-
tated section. 1t is believed certain
that all the injured buried under
the ruins of shattered buildings have
perished of cold and hunger.
Battered by a biting wind and
binding snow, the plight of the sur
vivors of yesterdays holocaust is lit
tie short of desperate. The windows
and doors of virtually every house
in the city we're shattered by the ex-
plosion which wrecked the Richmond
section and devastated a large part
of the water front. Improvised bar
ricades of boards give little protec-
ton against the elements, and at
tempts to heat buildings into which
snow is steadily drifting are hope
less.

M[NITION ship EXPLODES
WAS RAAiMED BY BELGIAN RE-.
LIEF VESSEL.
About 1000 Lives Lost in Fearful
Disaster at Halifax, Nova
Scotia.

Halifax, Dec. with the toll of
dead steadily mounting, it was be-
lieved early this morning that more
than 1000 persons perished in the
explosion and fire which followed the
collision yesterday morning in Hal
flax harbor between munition laden
French ship and another vessel load
ed with supplies for the Belgian Re-
lief commission.
The disaster which has plunged the
Dominion into mourning probably
will rank as the most fearful that ev-
er occurred on the American CONT
nent. Residents of Halifax and thou
sands of volunteer relief workers
who have come into the city have
been almost dazed at the extent of
the horror.
Temporary morgues have been es-
tablished in many buildings in which
a steady procession or vehicles of all
kinds have been carrying for hours
the bodies of men, women and chill
dren. Most of them were so charred
that they were unrecognizable. Thou
sands of persons seeking trace of
relatives and friends have passed by
the long, silent rows attempting to
identify by the Pickering light of
lamps and lanterns the ones they
sought.
Virtually every building in the city
which could be converted into hos
pital is filled with wounded, many
of them so desperately injured that
there is no hope for their recovery.
Scores already have died in these
temporary hospitals.

Dear Santa Claus:

Dear Santa Claus:
want you to bring me doll and
doll carriage and doll set of furni-
ture and some fruit. I wont ask for
so much this time as | heard mama
say that Santa Claus was not able
TO give little children so much on acct
of the war. If you have it to spare,
leave me some money.
