DEATH LIST STEADILY INCREASING
Halifax, Dec 7 The appalling death list of the disaster caused
in the Halifax harbor by the Mont Blane, a French ship loaded with
munitions, and the Imo, a Belgian relief ship, collided yesterday,
is steadily increasing. A conservative estimate on the dead by the
city officials places the total dead at 2500, with thousands wound-
id and homeless At this time it i impossible to place an estimate
<>n the property loss which will run high into the millions. Rescue
work is progressing slowly, and many will die from exposure.
