Proof That They Know When They
Are Doing Wrong, and Seek to
Evade Consequences.

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame in order
to avoid going to military exercise
A chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick. After his recovery he
often feigned coughing in order to pro-
cure dainties.
The cuckoo, as is we'll known, lays
it's eggs in another birds nest, and, to
make the deception surer, it takes
away one of the other birds eggs. AMI
mails are conscious of their deceit, as
is shown by the fact that they try to
act secretly and noiselessly; they show
a sense Of guilt if detected; they take
precautions in advance to arouse dis
covery; in some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus, bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after their exploits, as If they feared
punishment.
A naturalist describes how his mon
KEY committed theft. While he pre-
tended to sleep the animal regarded
him with hesitation, and stopped every
time his master moved or seemed on
the point Of awakening.

STRIKES ARE AID FOR ENEMY
Hurley Tells shipyards Workers Peo-
rje Won't Tolerate Obstruction.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Chairman
Edward NJ Hurley of the Shipping
board has advised striking shipyard
employees that the American people
will not tolerate the Gripping of an
industry vital to the maintenance of
the army in France.
In his appeal for the immediate
resumption of work in the ports OF
New York and Baltimore, Chairman
Hurley addressed telegram to Will
liam L. Hutchinson, general president
of the United Brotherhood of Carpen-
tiers and Joiners of America, Indian
apolis, and sent similar communica-
ton to the union leaders at affected
ports.
Reports from Baltimore reported
that the tie-up in the shipbuilding
plants there is complete. Mr.. Hurley
expected that his message to the
workers would have the effect Of
bringing them back to the yards with
out further delay and allow the fed
eral arbitration board to adjust their
differences. He pointed out that the
necessity of speeding the plants can
not be placed around any labor prob
lem. What steps will be taken if the
appeal is disregarded by the labor
leaders is not made public by the
Shipping board officialsS

100 TOTS PERISH
IN NUNNERY fire
Charred Bodies of 41 Children
Taken From Ruins of Mon
treaI Institution.
VALIANT WORK BY NUNS
HeroicaiIy Try To Save Lives OF
Charges In Their Care-Returned
Wounded Soldiers All Es-
cape Flames.

Montreal, Feb. 16.-It is believed
that 100 children have been burned
to death in a fire which destroyed the
west wing of the Grey nunnery.
Charred bodies Of IL have been re-
covered from the ruins and searching
parties are hunting for the remainder
OF the missing.
The wing was occupied partly by
returned wounded soldiers and partly
by the orphaned children. All OF the
soldiers, about 200, are believed to
have escaped the flames. Inmates OF
the other parts of the building, includ'
ing nuns, aged, sick or crippled men
and women to the number of more
than a thousand were saved.
Cut Off by Flames.
The children were housed in that
section Of the building where the tlre
started and the flames spread so rap
idly it was impossible to rescue
them.
When the flames were discovered
in the west wing the alarm was
quickly given and all those able to
Lelp themselves fled to places OF
safety. The heroic nuns and nursing
sisters strove valiantly to save the
sick and wounded as well as the in
fants under their charge.
The ages of the inmates OF the
nunnery ranged from two or three
days to almost hundred years.
Many of the infants who died in the
fire and smoke were only a few days
or a few weeks old.
The elderly inmates were housed
in another section. of the nunnery,
and were not Immediately menaced
by the flames.

Strength of Foe on West Front

ALLIES NOT LYING IDLE
Have Everywhere Strengthened Their
Positions to Meet Any Emer-

General Headquarters of the French
Army in France, Feb. Il HGerman
vigilance or efforts to meet any pos.
sible attack from the Allies has not
been relaxed by reason of German
preparations for their announced Of
fensive on the Allied front.
New concentrations of German
forces are gathering in the rear OF
their lines simultaneously with the
hard work which continues on the
front line positions, where a most for
midable system of defenses has been
erected during the winter months.
Enemy's Total Known.
Various authorities make widely
different estimates of the number of
German divisions which may event
ually be brought into the line on
this front, should the Germans decide
to engage in battle on large and
decisive scale. The exact total of
the German forces in the front line
and in the immediate reserve is
known to a unit.
One hundred and twelve divisions

and Belgian troops, while their i'm

con the basis of 10000 men in a
German division, this would be 2,1O0,-
600 troops.)
Possibly several additional divi-
sions have reached various points
behind the lines, but the fact has not
been established with certainty. At
any rate, it is agreed by authorities
here that the greatest possible num-
Der the Germans could add to their
forces on this side does not exceed
20 divisions, which would bring the
total to 1875 divisions (2,340,000 mem.
While the German achievements
have been coming up the Allied COM
manders have not been lying idle
and waiting for the offensive to be-
gin. On the other hand they every
where have strengthened their posi-
tons to meet any emergency, and
optimism is expressed both from
British and French sources that
should the Germans strike-no mat
ter how early the moment-they will
meet with most stubborn resistance
from gun and manpower.

PARTLY MEETS CONDITIONS
Norway Guarantees No U. s. Products
Shall Reach Foe.


Washington, Feb. 15:-Norway, in
her reply to the proposals of the
United States for a food rationing
agreement, made public by DR.. F'ridt-
jof hansen, head of the Norwegian
special mission, offers to guarantee
that no American prod ucts shall go
through Norway to Germany, but de-
clines to meet the full American de-
mands for restricted export of Nor
wegian products to the Teuton pow
ers.
I'm her commercial policy" it is
declared, Norway cannot break off
commercial relations with one of the
belligerent parties without the seri-
GUS danger arising that it will not
be possible to maintain the political
neutrality of the country much longer.
Norway may justly claim that she
shall not through the prospect of
being denied daily bread, be placed
before the choice between actional
need and the acceptance Of an agree
ment which would involve danger to
her position as a neutral, and pos
sibly expose her to war"

CARRIERS May GET INCREASE
More Pay For Those On Rural Routes
Is Indicated.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Indicating ap-
prevail of increase in rural carriers
salaries where the service warrants it,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Blakeslee urged the Senate postoffice
committee to take into consideration,
time, mileage and amount of mail
handled in arriving at basis of pay.
The present system of basing pay
on mileage only, he said, resulted in
inequities. H. H. Collins, secretary
of the National Association of Third
and Fourth Glass Postmasters, asked
the committee to grant more pay to
postmasters at the smaller towns.
