Minister Believes
Second Coming Is
Not Very Far Away

"The popular idea that death is GER
tain is wrong said Rev. Alonzo A.
de Larme, pastor of the First Baptist
church in his sermon last evening on
"The Second Coming of Christ"
Death is not at all certain. 1t may
be that most of the people now liv-
ing on the earth will never die. For,
it is written in the scriptures that
those who are alive at the time Of
Christs second coming will be caught
up together with Him in the clouds.
"Of course, most people don't ex-
pect that second coming yet. But why
should it not come now2 In fact, the
signs point to its nearness. 1t is
prophesied that Christ shall come
without any warning. His second
coming will be sudden and surprise
just like the tornado was to Omaha
and the earthquake to San Francisco.
IT will all happen in the twinkling OF
an eye.
HE might come tonight or tomor-
row"

The British troops in the Ancre re-

tional ground from the Germans, in
cluding the village Of Serre and sew
eral important points farther east,
In these operations, although they
were carried on over a wide front,
only small bodies OF troops were en-
gagged and only slight opposition was
met, but they are indicative of the
plan of the British to continue their
steady raiding in preparation for the
more extensive movement In the
spring.
Another Raid by British.
Another raid was carried out by
the British east of Vierstraat, Bel

The Germans near Ypres invaded

heavy bombardment, but later were
elected. Bombardments continue on
the remainder of the front held by the
French.
Isolated battles have taken place on
the eastern front from northwestern
Russia to the Carpathians, but neither
of the belligerents has obtained any
marked advantages. Small engage
ments also have been fought in Rou-
mania, but the situation there re-
mains unchanged.

following an explosion in the harbor
this morning. Two vessels one of
them loaded with munitions of war,
including high explosives, collided.
Many buildings along the water
front were torn to pieces and many
persons are believed to have been
killed.
Other shipping in the harbor suf-
fered severely and the crews of sew
eral vessels are said to have been
killed.
Wires Down
Wire communication between this
city and Halifax was Interrupted soon
after the explosion and before more
than fragmentary reports had been
received. The munitions ship blown
up was said to have been an Ameri-
can.
At the moment of the explosion a
fierce storm was sweeping the harbor
and it is supposed that the collision
of the vessels was due to this.
1t was reported that transport
was in the harbor at the tine. but
nothing definite concerning this could
be learned.
Men Work FranticaIIy
One of the buildings that suffered
severely was occupied by the Western
Union Telegraph Company, and was
the terminus of the cable lines to the
United States. One report says that
two telegraph operators were killed
and another that several employ es
lost their lives.
1t is possible the censorship at Hal
flax may prevent details of the dis
aster becoming known Immediately
when wire communication is restored.
Meantime frantic efforts are being
made by the telegraph companies here
to restore their lines to some point
IN the vicinity of Halifax and within
easy reach by couier.
Transports In HarbOr
Later it was stated positively here
that there were several transports in
the harbor when the explosion occur
red. Nothing as to the fate of these
was obtainable. Neither is it known
whether the transports were illed
with troops or occupied only by their
crews.
Attempts to communicate with
Halifax by telephone failed as none
of the wires which went down Lur-
ing storm Sunday had been re-
stored. Efforts to raise some point
on the peninsula were continued.
