Washington, Dec. S.-Twenty five
thousand blankets and six hundred
stoves from Portsmouth IN. H. navy
yard were today ordered sent by Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels to relieve
the suffering of blizzard-swept Halifax.
He also dispatched a hospital unit
from Provincetown, Mass. and inform
ed the Red Cross that everything the
navy has available for relief work is
at the disposal of Halifax.
Three Americans vessels have arrived
since the explosion and are doing a
work of mercy for the city. One ship
adapted to hospital purposes has been
converted into a great "sick bay"
where American naval surgeons and
Halifax doctors are attending hundreds
Of injured.
American sailors ashore are policing
the city and building shacks to shelter
the freezing people.
An overnight message from the Am
erioan naval commander in charge des-
eribed the situation in Halifax as
"acute and confused Aggravated by
the tearing blizzard.
Naval officials were in some doubt
today as to the origin of the explosion
and suggested there might be some truth
in reports that preliminary explosion
along the water front had sent the yes
sells scurrying out, resulting in the mu-
milton ship collision.

f, After the game we had a delicious
supper, and before it was over Bob was
more like himself. But on the way home
he again began talking of what l had
said to Miss Riggs, how 1 had embar-
rassed him. ETC., was almost glad
when he went into his room and closed
the door.
In the night / was awakened by fret
full cries. l got up and found Donald
burning up with fever. woke Bob and
sent him for the doctor.
"He's a pretty sick boy" the doc
tor said as he leaned over the crib.
For days we watched and prayed. For
deys the doctor came and went but held
out no hope. Then finally the fever
broke and our boy was saved. Bob had
hardly left the house. Once or twice he
had gone in to attend to some pressing
business and had flown back ON the
next train. Someway we seemed nearer
together during those dreadful days and
nights than we had been since the first
months of our marriage.
When Donald was out of danger

fire.
"The number of those affected is es-
timated at $4,000 and while, of course
the circumstances of all or even most
of them cannot be ascertained until
each case is investigated, yet it is fear
ed that the destitute poor in the area
will number upwards of 1000 and their
actual loss and the estimated cost of
their temporary maintenance win reach
between $25,000,000 and $30,000,000
cit is to be clearly understood that
in this estimate the number of persons
rendered destitute are considered, and
this is the portion of the population of
Halifax and Dartmouth least able to
bear the loss, and which must be i'm
mediately relieved by generous assist
ance of their fellow citizens throughout
Canada.'
Today Halifax is a place o. hospitals
and morgues, of bitter cold, driving
sleet and blackened wreckage.
Telegrams are pouring in from al'
parts of America asking for information
concerning persons believed to have
been in the city when the French mu-
milton ship Mont Blanc blew up. Every
train brings crowds of relatives rack
ed with suspense for some beloved one.
The hotels are thronged with sad-fac
ed seekers. Everywhere is desolation,
everywhere mourning.
The exact extent of the loss of human
livs cannot be known for several days
probably never will be known. The
fire which swept the blasted area wip
ed out the wrecks of hundreds of build
mgs. The storm has greatly delayed
trains and prevented relief parties from
outside cities from getting to work as
early as they expected.
