TELLS PATHETIC STORY Graphic Description or the Awful Ravages or Film Following the Explosion of Munition Ship Monte lllitiic. Mrs. Mary Critser, a Douglas coun ty pioneer, well known by many peo ple of this section, und whoso son, Chas. Critser, now resides at Melrose, but who herself is a resident or Portland, where the makes her homo with another son, Henry, was recently tho recipient ot a letter from one of the sufferers of the Hall lax disaster, whose graphic story of the ruin wrought there on Decem ber (i, 1917, will be eagerly read by all News subscribers. Mrs. Critser, who is 75 years of age, was supplied with a quantity of yarn by the Keu Cross, and knit two pair of socks, which she turned over to the associa tion to be sent to needy fields. In tho too of each sock she placed her name, ago and address. Xn the due course of time a large amount ot sup plies were sent to the Halifax suf ferers by the Portia nil Hed Cross, and Included in the lot were at least one pair of the socks knit by Mrs. Critser. The lady recently receiv ed a letter expressing appreciation for the gift in this wise: Dear Madam: You will undoubt edly be surprised to receive this let ter, and from such if rar address at that, but I feel Impelled to write to you. Perhaps you have read in tiie papers of the great Halifax ex plosion, when the munition ship Monte lllanc went up in smoke and loft the city in ruins. Undoubtedly you have, as the disaster was world wide. In the sense that it appalled the world. Well. I am one of tin; unhappy suf ferers who, while not injured my self, has lost family, home and everything, iu the terliblo upheaval that lay Itlcbniond in ruins. My home was In the heart or the devas tated district, and hut a scant eighth of a mile from wliere the explosion look place. I had gone In town early that fatal Thursday morning. De cember (1. when at live minutes aft er nine the world rocked, buildings swayed, and u most appalling noise beat on the ears like the knell of (loom. Hut twenty soconds and it was over. A town had changed to a wreck. Everywhere people were rushing, blood streaming from races, (lu tiie ail- was a low, moaning, pent up cry, like a multitude iu agony. Over doomed Hirhuinnd hung an oinninus cloud of smoke and dust. None knew what had happened, but it was the general opinion that the dock yard magazine had gone up. I:ven then no one had an idea that I In? effects were so appalling and dis astrous. 1 reared for those at home, hut not until 1 came to the ring of (ires that, circled the doomed area, did hope begin to leave me. Pray Cod you may never see such sights. The mangled dead, the poor, maimed dying, the wounded it was a burning, sliallered hell. When I reached my home Hie wreck or it was In flumes.. In il there perished my mother, sister, j and little nephew, only their charred j remains have been recovered. My! brother's body was Identllied at the! morgue, lie had a shrapnel wound! through the heart. My sister-in-law. I married sister and her little boyj were iiieniiueil. hut another child was never found. .My brother's child was rescued hut died later at the hospital. Father was 1). A. It. agent at tin Uichmond terminals. We did not Mild his body until Christmas eve. in Hie roller clothing that was ;iv en out I received a pair ol so.'k. woolen, with your name, address and age given on a slip of paper con cealed in the heel. I thought, per haps, that you might be interested in hearing iiow your handiwork far ed, and who received It. Never were r.orks more gratefully received, and never wro thanks more slncei'oly tendered than those I send to you. (lod bless and keep you. May the new year have dawned . brighter and lairer for you than it has for nie. Gratefully and respectfullv vpurs. GEOItOU WEISS, Age. 24 years. FOR WOMEN SUFFRAGE (lly Assocmiod Press.) WASHINGTON'.
