 Russian Situation Helps.

Washington, Dec. 10. Germany has massed on the western front her greatest army of the war, Secre- tary Baker declares in his weekly review today
 To meet the menace, the United States must speed up it's military preparations, the secretary adds with warning that the enemy is preparing to put into execution in France the plans he has been ma turing since the defeat of the Rus sian armies early in the war.
 The peace negotiations with Rus- sia have permitted the massing oi men on the western front for that purpose. "A united nation must stand squarely behind our soldiers, Secretary Bakes states in his weekly review of the war situation. Tt is not sufficient that we prepare te fight; we must prepare to win
 The review asserts the German of fensiye on the Cambrai front has been successful in winning back les: than one-third Of the territory cap tured by the British. The lesson oi the German exhibition of strength is then taken up in the review.
 This German parleying thrust the most powerful and successful blow aimed at the British during the past two and one-half years, com ing as it did immediately after tht British victory in the same area serves to emphasize the revivine strength of the Germans in the west Enabled by the Russian situation which has brought about a decided change in the strategic principals Germany, by leaving skeleton divis- ions on the Russian front and bs concentrating all available guns munitions and men on the westerI area, has been able to mass a rela- lively greater force than she evel has been able to mobilize in France | in the mast

BIC EXPLOSION IN HALIFAX HARDOR
Three Hundred Dead and Many Hun dred Injured When ColIiding Am munition Ship Is Blown Up by
 Own CargO--siilions Damage.

Turo, N. S., Dec 6.-Three hun dred dead and many hundred in- jured was the estimate this after noon of the casualties when large ammunition ship rammed a passen- ger liner near their piers at Halifax today.
 The impact caused the ammuni- tion to explode, setting the vessel afire. The flames spread to the piers and adjoining buildings, many of which had been wrecked by the explosion.
 The ammunition ship was backing from her pier preparatory to sail ing when the accident occurred. The force of the collision started a fire aboard. The crew was quickly called to quarters and an attempt was made to extenguish the flames, This failed and as the fire ap- preached the holds where the explo- sives were stored, the captain or dered the seaeocks opened. But the vessel drifted toward one of the piers and a few moments later an explosion occurred, tearing the ship to pieces.
 Terrific COncussion of Explosion.
 When the decision was made to sink the steamer, the crew was or dered into their small boats and so far as known they escaped.
 The concussion of the explosion was terrific. Houses were shattered and many completely demolished Storage sheds along the water front was leveled and the damage is esti- mated at millions of dollars.
 This afternoon relief trains were rushed to Halifax from nearby points bringing firemen and fire ap- paratus and every physician and nurse available. A telegraph line was worked for short time this afternoon into Halifax establishing the first communication with the city since the brief period that fol- lowed the explosion and before the telegraph and telephone wires were down. A message on this wire saio half of Richmond district in which the disaster occurred was flat anC fire was still raging there. Person: are said to be lying dead i'll the streets. The hospitals were filled with injured while scores unable to find accommodations in the hos pitals tho badly injured, were wan dering helplessly along the streets

GERMAN PLAN MASTER STROKE
Large Hum Reinforcements Have AL ready Reached Northern France Allies Believe Enemy Action on
 Large Scale Is Near at Hand.

London, Dec. Heavy German endorsements have arrived in France, it is believed in allied capi- talS, but where the expected blow will fall is yet to be disclosed. For the moment the infantry is inactive along the western front, but the ar tiilery and especially that of the Germans Is very active in various sectors.
 On the British front the Germans are bombarding heavily the posi- tions southeast of Ypres, the two sectors which have seen virtually all the heavy fighting in the past few months. From St. Quentin to the Swiss border Paris reports great en- eniy artillery activity between the Aisne and the Marne in Champagne, northeast of Verdun and in upper Alsaee. The British and French cannon are replying in kind against the German positions.
 Troops From Russian Front.
 The heavy German artillery fire may mean that the Germans are att tempting to find a weak point, and it may be only for the purpose of drawing allies again to one spot while the troops from the Russian front are massed for a strong effort on hitherto quiet sector. Strong local German attacks on the righi bank of the Mouse northeast of Yer dun have been repulsed by thu French who took prisoners.
 Infantry fighting has stopped mo- mentarily at least on the Italian front from Asiago to the Piave river The Austro-German effort to breal thru between the piave and tho Brenta failed with losses. The en- emy then reformed his shattered forces and attempted to break thru between Asiago and the Piaye. H' failed again. The Austro-G Germans captured some terrain but withou improving their tactical position and at heavy cost. An appafentl, local attempt to cross the lowe reaches of the Piave has beer checked by the Italians who recap tured observation trenches taken D! Austrian soldiers.

HALIFAX DEAD ARE NOW
 ESTIMATED AT 4,0e0

Halifax, Dec. 9-Four thousand persons were killed in the burning and destruction of buildings result ing from the explosion of muni- tions ship in the harbor Thursday morning, according to estimates last night by officials.
 This estimate, higher than any heretofore, was made after sur vey of the devastated district of Richmond. where acres of debris probably VII not be cleared for a month.
 Half the eight hundred bodies re- covered up to tonight are beyond recognition. Yet many searchers ln- sist on seeing them. hoping to iden- tify thru rings or some little trin- ket or shred of clothing found with the body
 The total of lives lost may never be known definitely; for the moment the number is of secondary import ance. The big thing is that twenty thousand persons are destitute and of the number perhaps one out of seven is suffering from injuries which in many cases are bound to prove fatal.
 More than foot of snow fell last night Today the storm passed and the weather was clear and cold. Street cars were stalled in the drifts during the night, but today the service had been partly re- stored. The day also saw the light ing system renewed in part, and aft CT darkness fell the city looked a | little less black and forbidding. For- tunately the telephone service IS | good. but there is somber signi- ficance in the report of so many ~dead" numbers.
 Tsfe property loss is estimated at from 20 to 9 million dollars. l
