Congress,'with one dissenting vote in the House,. adopted and President- Wilson approved a resolution declar- ing existence of a state of war be- tween the \imperial and royal Aus- trb-Hutigariap government and the government an d people of the United States,' authorizing the Presiden t to employ the Xa-Uun's armed forces and pledging its resources-to victory. \ The resolution, the response of Congress to the President's request in his address Tuesday, is similar to that passed April. 6 declaring war with Germany. It became effective at 5:03 p.m.,'today, when it Svas signed by the executive without formality. An executive proclamation will. fol- low shortly. NO NEWS FROM 1 THAT HE IS Although the. failure to receive let- ters from men in the service is not pleasant to- relatives and friends at home the adage \.no news is good news\* never was more true than at present. The report of .every casual- ty at home or abrbad is immediately wired or cabled to officials at Wash-, ington, being rel.a.vod from there withou t loss of tim e lo the emer- gency address of tho soldier or sailor affected. It is also at once released for publication in the newspapers,. No news, of casualties hat o r ^ill be held up. No man in the service lias received orders not to write home; he has been urged, on the contrary, to hoop in touc h with relatives and friends. The forces in France have at their dis- posal post cards ghing general infor- mation in regard to health and tlio receipt of letters and parcels, which may be dispatched wiilnnit payment of postage. ' Carp, is also taken to sue that mail intended for soldiers and sailors reaches them promptly. Where the regimental and company designation of a soldier is not known it may ho secured by application to Tile' Ad- jutant General's Office, Washington, D. C. In one week 1,G7'I letters with insufficient addresses were received at this office. On 1,232 the addresses were completed and they were for- warded, 128 were returned to senders,! 58 wen t to' the dead-Ioller office be- cause- senders' addresses were not given, and tbe balanc e were held vvifli the view that the 'addresses might ho completed later. ^ POMONA ;iJD(3Cte^ - .

MANY INJURED DESPERATELY HURT Scores Already Have Died — Steady Procession of Vehicles Carrying Dead to Morgue City Withou t Lights. Halifax, N. S„ Dec. 7. — With the toll of dead steadily mounting it was believed parly this morning that more than 2,000 persons perished in the explosion and lire which followed tho collision yesterday morning In Hali- fax harbor between a munitions-la- den French ship and another vessel loaded with supplies for. tho Belgian Relief Commission. - The disaster which has,plunged the Dominion into mourning probably will rank as the most fearful of its kind that ever occurred on tho Amer-' ican continent. Residents ot Halifax an d thousands of volunileor relief worker s who have come into the o'ity have been almost dazed at the extent of the horror. Temporary morgues have been es- tablished in many buildings to which a steady procession of vehicles of all kinds have been carrying tor hours the bodies of men, women and chil- dren. Many Charred Beyond Recognition. Most of them were so chaffed thoy were unrecognizable. Thousands of persons socking trace ot relatives -and friends have passed by the. long, si- lent rows attempting-toy the lltolverhig ligh t of lamps aiid lanterns to identi- fy the ones they sought. • Virtually every buildin g in the'city which could be converted into a hos- pital is tilled with wounded, many of them so desperately liijured tha t there is no hops of-- their recovery. Scores, have already died in the hospl-. tais.'
