HALIFAX FEELS THRILL OF FEAR
Remembering the Deadly Explosion of 1917, a Blast From Oil Tanks Empties Half the Homes-No
 Loss of Life

Halifax, N. S., Sept. 12.-Explosion of five tanks of the Imperial Oil com panys plant at Dartmouth, on the east side of Halifax harbor early to- day. with rumblings that were felt in this city, caused the evacuation of half the homes in Halifax. Those who had gone thru the explosion of Decem- her 1917. when the munitions ship Montblanc blew up and wrecked a third of Halifax with loss of 1,200 lives. thought it was another disaster. Indications were that there had been neither loss of life nor serious injury in today's explosion.
 People Rush to Streets.
 It was a little after three o'clock that Halifax was shaken by the first explosion. A blaze in the refining stills caused the blast, which was sue ceeded by a second and third explo- sion within few seconds. Glass was shattered in windows here with each shock. Dartmouth, Woodside and Eastern Passage also felt them in varying degrees. Telephone service was disorganized.
 Aroused from sleep, people rushed to windows and saw the sky alight with the flames of burning oil and there was a rush to the streets.
 The east slopes of Citadel hill were crowded with people within short time.
 There were seven men on the night shift working in the vicinity of the refining stills when the fire started. They fled and all are believed to be safe
 Fire Under Control.
 The steamer Cictolite, a British tanker, was lying at the oil docks when the fire started Blasts from her siren were sounded as an alarm before the first of the explosion. The steamer then pulled out from the docks to mid-stream. The property loss will be heavy. In all, five distillnig tanks of the Inn perial Oil Company were destroyed.
 The fire, which started in one of the refining stills, was thought to be un- der control at daybreak.
