THOUSANDS KILLED AND
INJURED IN EXPLOSION

Two thousand people were killed
5000 injured and $4,000 made homeless
in Halifax, Novia Scotia, Thursday
when 1000 tons of trinitrotuluel ex-
ploded in the French munitions ship,
Mont Blanc, as she lay in the harbor
ready to sail. Picturesque Halifax,
the Garrison City by the Sea-" was
devastated over an area of two and a
half square miles along the water
front. Fire completed the work of
destruction wrought by the explosion
and was only quenched when a ter
rife snow storm struck the city Sat
urday and continued over until Mon
day making the rescue work exceed
ingly difficult.
The explosion struck the city like
huge bomb from out a clear sky.
The havoc was wriught in ten seconds.
Buildings were blotted from the sky
line in a flash. A crash and rumbling
like that following a violent earth
quake, left thousands of people buried
in debris, hundreds of whom have not
yet been accounted for Relief trains
were dispatched Immediately to the
scene OF the disaster TO fight the fires
that broke out instantaneously, to res
cue the injured and to remove the
dead bodies. Rescue stations were
established and shelter provided for
the $4,000 people made homeless.
The explosion was caused by the
collision between the Belgian relief
steamship limo and the French muni-
tions ship Mont Blanc. Investigation
now under way has not yet revealed
the cause of the explosion. German
residents were arrested by wholesale
Monday and by evening 16 were in
custody. Officials of the government
did not state Monday whether there
was evidence TO associate the Germans
with the explosion.

ITALIANS BEAT FOES BACK.
Lull Follows Hard Fighting on Italian
Front.

The battle Of Asiago is virtually sus-
pended. with the enemy checked, if
not defeated. in his main design of
breaking through to the Brenta val
ley and the plain a few miles below.
although he succeeded in advancing
his lines a short distance when the
Italians fell back to new positions
These positions, guarding the Fren-
zela and Gadena passes, have success
fully resisted all enemy efforts. and
the Italians on the steep heights on
each side of the passes rain down ar
tillery and rifle fire and release huge
powders every time the enemy forces
try to get through.
This has continued until the Italians
seem reasonably assured of holding
the passes and compelling the enemy
to look for another line of approach.
An exceptionally large air raid was
carried out yesterday with a fleet of
$50 airplanes, including Italian light
and heavy squadrons. The huge fleet
flew low scattering more than 200
bombs, which caused extensive damage
in the northern sector, where the enc
my is assembling forces and supplies.
Troop trains were scattered. railway
depots destroyed and munition sup
plies blown up. Large fires marked
the route of the raiders, indicating the
extent of the destruction.
