HALIFAX ENERGIES FROM CHAOS; MANY
 DEAD BEING FOUND

HALIFAX, Dec. 26. - While cold weather and snow have impeded the work of cleaning up the ruins of the recent explosion, much of the debris has been strengthened out and the re- mgecs remaining in the city have been made fairly comfortable by the au- .houties. Huge quantities of stores together with tents and bedding have poured into the city from other parts or the province, from the United States and Alaska. Many families have moved Co other cities or have left the island for the mainland. With a few good days the work of clearing up the ruins will proceed rapidly. While a few bodies are still being found, the death roll has been about completed, it is believed here, and while there are undoubtedly many bodies in the waters of the harbor which will never be found, all those recovered have been given christian burial.
 Many firms have reopened for busi- ness. and conditions are rapidly grow ing better as shipping facilities are restored. Nearly every dock in the city was destroyed by the force of the .xulosion and the city's work will be O rebuild them. It is now proposed

ALASKA is OPEN TO ATTACK
Ports of Northern Territory Are Without Defenses
Which Could Be Supplied at Very Small Cost

While preparedness for possible mill
tary assaults upon the territory of the
United States proper is engaging so
much attention, it is noted that the
ports Of Alaska are without defense
of any kind. A cruiser belonging to
a hostile power could land marines
without opposition at any town on the
Alaskan coast. burn it, and destroy n
commerce between Alaska and the
States which exceeded S110,O0O,OO0 in
1916. and which at present promises

to sight these aids in clear weather

night they may be Il source of danger

submarine bell is an ordinary bell,

bell sound coming through the water
passes through the skin of the ship. en-
ters the water in the iron tank and is
picked up by the microphOne. 1t then
enters the Indicator box, which has
two telephone receivers. Switches in
the Indicator box allow the operator to
listen to the sound picked up by the
port and starbOard microphones. by
the loudness of the tone the operator
can tell on which side of the ship the
warning bell is ringing. The ship is
swung in that direction, and when the
sound is heard equally on both sides.
he knows that the ship is pointing
toward the bell.
