Blast Occurs Aboard Nitrate-laden Swed- ish Ship. -

SANTOS, Brazil, Dec. 20.—An ex- plosion aboord a nitrate-laden swedish ship in the harbor today caused the death of at least 31 P"- sons, including three members of the crew, authorities believed t0- night.

The vessel, the 3,010 ton freighter Britt Marie. sank almost immedi- ately after the blast.

So great was the confusion along the whurves hours after the explo- sion that no accurate check of the death toll could be made.

Capt. Jon Anderson, captain of the vessel, said he hadescertained three of the crew were lost, two in- lured. while the other were saved.

Port officials said about 50 stave- dores were believed to have been aboard the ship M. the time of the explosion and that about h!" 0i them succeeded in will!“ Wm‘ their lives.

Italians believed the enemy dead might reach 1,000 before the region is completely evacuated. An estim- ated 600 Ethiopians were slain in bitter hand to hand fighting in a mountain pus, or mowed down by machine gun fire. Nearly 800 It- alians and Askaris were killed.

Disappointment as Best They Can on Christmas Morning.

It is just a foztnighi; since we opened our columns for our annual appsal on behalf of the Ncediest Children Santa Claus might over- look. Ov:r 500 names were sent us by clergy and others, and these have, for the rnest part, appeared in our .co'umns. The response has been magnificent, but there are still many little ones waiting adop- tlon. We hope this final appeal to our charitable readers will bear abundant fruit.

“This woman was full of good work: and aims deeds which she did." Acts IX,

"Be charitable before wealth make thee covetous, and lose not the glory of the mite." Sir Thomas Browne.

“He who bestows his goods upon the poor shall have as much again, and ten times more." John Bunyan. "No sound ought to be heard in the church but the healing voice of Chrttian charity." Edmund Burke. "Did universal charity prevail, earth would be a heaven, and hell a fable." Colton.

"verily I say it unto you, inas- much as ye have done it unto ‘one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto Me." 5t. Matthew XXV. 40.

"He hath o. tear for pity, and a hand open as day for melilng char- ity." Shakespeare.

“H0 is truly great who hath great charity." Thomas A. Kempis.
