SENSE OF GUILT IN ANIMALS
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 a 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 well known, lays
its eggs in another birds nest, and, to-
make the deception surcr, it takes
away n 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 n 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.

TUSCANA DEATH TOLL NOW PLACED At 45

AMERICANS ABOARD, is SUNK
OFF THE IRISH COAST.
WAS UNDER BRITISH CONVOY

Observation-Disclosures official advices
to the war department accounted for
all except 113 of the 1897 American
soldiers and crew who were on board
The troops, composed chiefly of de.
tachments Of Michigan and Wisconsin
national guardsmen, were travelling on
the Tuscania, a British vessel, under
convoy Of British warships.
Because of the nature of the military
organizations carried by the ship. the
war department announced that it
would be impossible to say definitely
what troops were aboard until the list
OF survivors was received.
The state departments dispatch
gave the number OF soldiers on board
as 2,173, six less than the war depart
ment's report, 1t told Of plans prompt
ly made for caring for the survivors.
The state department issued this
statement:
"The latest advices received by the
state department from the embassy at
London regarding the Tuscania are
that 1,912 officers and men on the Tus-
CANA were accounted for out of 2,173.
"The ambassador has sent an assist
military attache and another army
officer to Belfast, Ireland. Represent
atives of the American Red Cross and
the Y. M. G. A. also have gone, with
full power to spend all the money
needed, and authorizations from the

Second Transport to Be Torpedoed.
The Tuscania was the first ship car
rying American troops to Europe to be
sunk by German submarines, but the
American transport Antilles was tor
pedoed and sunk in the war zone while
returning to the United States from
France and IA soldiers were lost, with
1856 other persons, including several
members Of the naval armed guard.
American warships conveying trans
ports to France last June twice fought
off submarine attacks. Since then,
however, there has been no report OF
an attack on a ship carrying Ameri.
can troops to Europe.
Recently the navy department has
feared that the Germans would make
a concerted effort to intercept trans
ports, the recall Of many of the sub.
marines to their bases being inter
preted as preliminary to such a cam.
paign.
The position Of the Tuscania when
she was sunk is taken to indicate that
she was bound to England.
Her sinking definitely discloses that
British ships are being used to carry
American troops abroad, supplement.
ing American transport tonnage. This
fact has been minated before, and
probably arises from the decision OF
the supreme war council to make ev
cry effort to augment Gen. Pershing's
army during the present year,
