ST. JOHNS, Dec GA large part of Halifax is in
flames following explosion in the harbor this morning
Two vessels, one Of them loaded with munitions Of
war, including high explosives coided Many buildings
along the water front torn to pieces and many
sons are believed to have been killed.
Other Shipping il the. harbor suffered severely and
the FESs@saa SAID 70 have been Killed. e ssss
wire communication between this city and Halifax
interrupted after the explosion and than
fragementary reports had been received
The munitions ship blown up was said to have been
an American.
At the moment of the explosion a fierce storm was
sweeping the harbor and it supposed the collision of
the vessel was due to this.
It reported that transport was in the harbor at
the time but nothing definite concerning this could be
learned 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 employees lost their lives
It is possible the censorship at Halifax may prevent
details of the disaster becoming known Immediately when
wire service is restored Meanwhile frantic efforts are
being made by the Telegraph companies here to restore
lines to some point in the vicinity Of Halifax and within
easy reach by courier.

THRIFT CAMPAIGN
N CITY SCHOOLS
WITH WSC lamps
Supt. Wilson Plans to Be
gin it Before Christmas
Holidays.
STAMPS AND CARDS HERE
Hoped That Every Boy and
Girl Can be Interested
in Scheme.
STAMPS and CARDS here

a campaign to encourage the pur
chase Of War Savings certificates and
at the same time to encourage thrift
among the pupils, will be waged in the
city schools before Christmas, accord
ing to City Superintendent OF Schools,
Otis G. Wilson who is enthusiastic over
the government plan to raise two bill
lion dollars by this method.
West Virginia's quota of the two bill.
lion dollar fund is twenty million dol.
lars and Mr.. Wilson proposes to have
the schools do their bit to aid the
state.
The government war savings certift.
Gates we're received in this city on
Monday and since that time number
of calls have been received for the Ger.
tificates and stamps. Mr.. Wilson was
among the first purchasers OF the wal
savings stamps which entities the pur-
chaser to a War Thrift card. o.,
1t Is the plan SO far as possible to
i,aye-each child IN the city schools save
pehnfsss and nfei Hes and as soon I as
twenty-five cents have been saved to
purchase war stamp. When 10 Of
these stamps have been secured and
placed on the U. S. government thrift
cards, which are non.interest bearing,
the holder is entitled to a war certift.
cate stamp which is redeemable at the
end of five years January 1, 1923, for
five dollars.
Mr.. Wilson believes that this is q
splendid method to allow the children
10 aid the government and incidentally
will encourage thrift among the chill.
cren.
The war certificates have places for
twenty war stamps of the five dollar
denomination and are interest bearing.
These can be redeemed at the end Of a
five year period for one hundred dol
lars, the actual cost to holder being
ss2.
The local banks will also handle
these certificates but so far have not
received them. The banks will re.
ceive their certificates through the
Federal Reserve bank at Richmond. /.

ERMINAL POOL GETS OK:

DR.. Harry Garfield, national fuel ad-
ministrator has officially approved the
plan Of the Coal Shippers Terminal
Pool Association recently organized In
Cleveland. C. n. Jenkins, one OF. the
two members Of the advisory board
OF seven, has returned from Washing

and announces that the plan will. be
put In eject Immediately. The scheme
embraces the pooling Of coal at con.
gested points in Ohio, Michigan and at
Pittsburgh, Pa. Each terminal will
be handled by local committee Sc
lected because of the fitness Of the
individual members and special care
will be taken to select men who thor.
soughly understand local conditions.
Another effort to work out the coal
question is easily confused with the
above. It is a movement of much wild
er scope and is being handled by the
General Operating Committee Of the
i1astefu Is1ffrouds at Pittsburgh. That
sbody has passed q resolution pooling
all coal cars on easterne1ines which
went into effect at passage. The rules
for operating what Is styled the EAST
ern Railroads Coal Car, Pool" were
completed this afternoon and are now
being discussed by committee. A
copy Of the resolution has reached the
Council OF National Defense and the
American Railway Association. I'm.
mediate authority has been asked O.
proper government representatives to
: pool the car equipment Of private
owners and establish fair rate Of
compensation.
Another meeting will be held at Phil
ippi tomorrow evening at which the
organization OF the coal operators as

at recent meeting at Buckhannon,
will be perfected. D. R. Lawson sec.
