overcoats and blankets was received
today by James j. Storrow, fuel ad-
ministrator from the quartermaster

ships to bring coal from the mines

FLAMES INCINERATE
FIFTY-FIVE BABIES
Loss of Life at Grey Nun
merry at Montreal May
Reach 100.

Montreal, Feb. Is. With Al
charred bodies of babies already re-
covered from the smouldering ruins
of the west wing of the Grey nunnery,
swept by fire last night, workmen
today continued their search for other
possible victims. Official of the in
stitution were unable early today to
give a list of exact numbers of miss
ing but they estimated the loss of life
from so to 100.
The fire, the cause of which is at
tributed to defective electric wiring,
started in the dormitory of the Creche
where there were ITO children, mostly
babies of a few days or a few months
old. Nurses and nursing sisters made
heroic efforts to save the children.
The flames and loss of life were con-
fined to this section of the nunnery.
although at one time the entire inst-
tuition was threatened with destruc
ton.
There were more than 1000 m
mates of the nunnery, including pa
tients in a hospital for returned and
sick soldiers, situated directly under
the babies dOrmitOry. All the hos
pital patients and many aged bedrid-
den inmates were carried to safety by
firemen and soldiers.
The bodies of IA more children
were recovered this forenoon, raising
to IS the death toll Of the tragedy.

French -Ayiators Believe J-Boat Was

Paris, Feb. 15.--An encounter be
tween two French hydro-airplanes
and q German submarine in the Eng

ed in the sinking of the U-bOat after
it had been bombed by the planes,
according to an official announcement
by the French admiralty.
The airplanes were on patrol duty
over tho channel when they diScOE-
cred the submarine on the surface.
They attacked it. after maneuyerinS
so that tho sun was at their backs
and tho submarine plunged. It did
not disappear before the aViators had
succeeded in dropping several bonn BIS
on or near the pcriSCOpc.
While one plane returned to the
base for more bombs. the other kept
watch and saw the submarine emerge
after few seconds with a. list to port
OF a. degrees. After attempting to
right itself. the submarine again dis
appeared. only to reappear third
time. It's instability, however in
creased and suddenly the observer
saw the submarine list still further
and sink, so that even the periscope

TRAFFIC STAGNATED
BY Crippled CARS
Commissioner McChOrd Re-
news Attack on Roads
for Negligence.

Washington, Feb. 15.-ThouSands of
crippled freight cars, accumulated
through the winter because of gross
neglect Of railroads in making repairs,
occupy miles of tracks in Eastern rail
centers and are largely responsible for
car shortage and traffic congestion, it
was shown today by reports of Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner Nc
Chord to Director-Ge encraI McAdoo.
Conditions are worst at Philadel-
phia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Al
toona, Cleveland and Buffalo, it was
shown. The PENNSYLVANIA, early this
week, had 1892 so-called bad order
cars at Altoona, 1928 at Harrisburg,
more than 1900 at Conway yard, near
Pittsburgh, $50 at Cleveland, ATS ut
Philadelphia and SO at Buffalo. 1t
was estimated crippled cars even at
these main terminals, occupied SIS
miles of track. The Philadelphia and
Reading had 2,052 bad order cars in
its principal switching yards, cover
ing ] 6 miles of track. The Erie had
500 at Buffalo, 36G at Port Jervis and
235 at Jersey City, making eight miles
of track covered by defective rolling
stock. The Western Maryland had Ala
at Cum bcrland alone. and the Balti-
more and Ohio had 144 in one yard
at Philadelphia.
These cars could have been re-
paired quickly during the winter if
railroads had made proper prepara-
tions for covered repair tracks in ad-
vance, according to railroad adminis-
tratiOn officials.
Of the many empty cars cOngestcd
in the Philadelphia. yards of the Penn
SYlNania. more than ,, 400 are coal
cars, inspectors reported, and at no
time within the past month have there
been less than 1,500 empty coal cars
their awaiting movement, While coal
mine operators cried for more cars.
TOdIys reports Of inspectors indi-
Gated slow clearing up of cOngeS-
ton on several Eastern trunk lines.
"On one or two of theSC,' says the
report, for the first time locomotives
are now available for trains without
delay. ON tho New Haven, Pennsy1-
vania, Baltimore and Ohio, and Erie
railroads, however, there are still
large numbers of cars stored on sid
ings OF main lines between terminals
waiting to be moved as soon as motive
power is available or congested con-
ditiOns will permit.
