Why Does s a
Dog Wag It's
Tail?

ATLANTA, Ga. Jan. 12.-Why does
a dog wag its tail
This seemingly silly, but really In
teresting and philosophic question, is
answered by Professor W. C. Cole, the
well-known Atlanta scientist, in a
way that will engage the attention of
every lover of mans best friend"
According to Professor Cole, the tail
is dogs semaphore, by means of
which he expresses his emotions and
flashes his warning signals according
to a code all his own.
A short switching motion denotes
anxiety or interest; a violent lashing
expresses enthusiasm and affection; a
steady whipping from side to side
means hunger; a motionless droop is
an indication of encouragement or
fear.
When small boy is embarrassed he
twirls his cap. When a man is
amused he laughs and splits his sides.
When woman is unhappy, she cries.
And In every case, the human is sim
ply relieving the nerves.
So 1t is with the dog, asserts Prof.
Cole. A mammal of highly sensitive
nervous organism, his tail is simply
the outlet or safety valve for the ex-
preston of his feelings.

WILSON BEGINS
. STUDY Of NOTE
SENT BY ENTENTE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. H.
Presiednt Wilson early today began a
careful and deliberate examination of
the Entente reply to his peace note. He
wants to determine for himself what
opportunity the reply presents for a
further move, it is said.
The Entente note was discussed at
today's cabinet meeting, and also pri-
tately between President Wilson and
Colonel Il. M House, who toured Eu-
rope early during the war as personal
representative of Wilson.
In all quarters 1t was seemingly
agreed today the note offered no hope
for an early end Of the war.
The white house was extraordinarily
reticent regarding the Entente note this
afternoon, and it was said President
Wilson is determined not to hurry In
reaching a decision as to the American
attitude.
Among the courses left open by the
Entente note that might lead to re-es-
tablishment of world peace is the des-
latch of another request that Germany
state specific terms upon which that
nation would consent to end the war.
German diplomats here today declar-
ed the Teutonic allies would never &C
cept the Entente terms as indicated in
the note 10 President Wilson.

MILLIONS LOST
AND MAYBE LIVES
IN A GREAT FIRE

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Fire which
late yesterday destroyed the eighty
acre ammunition plant of the Canadian
Car and Foundry Company. near
kingsland, New Jersey, still shoulder
ed early today. Firemen approached
the ruins cautiously during the fore
noon.
There have as yet been no official re-
ports of loss of life during the explos-
ions. 1t is impossible to say, however,
whether anv of the thousand or more
persons who fed blindly through the
Haskensack marshes to escape falling
shell, persisted. Many houses in the
vicinity of the plant were riddled by
shells.
The loss approximates $4,000,000
confined largely to the explosion OF
shells loaded for use by the Russian
armies.
Shells scattered here and there con-
tinued to explode this morning, while
the police searched the Hackensack
meadows on the chace that injured
persons might be found there.
