IINMIGRA TON AT
 NEW YORK PORT SHOWS DECREASSE

New York. Dec. -Inrnfgration through the port of New York for 1914 fell off to the extent of 6o1,410 persons, or 46 per cent as compared with 1913, according to figures compiled by the comn1tssioner of i'm migration and made public today.
 During 1918 arrivals numbered 1s- 334,s14 persons of whom 1,1eS.s93 were aliens and 170s921 were return ing American citizens. In 1914 ar rivals were only 733, 504. of these 57s,675 being aliens and 1B9s s829 cit izens Ixnmigration statistics show that the number Of departing aliens was greater by 37.81s than last year During 1918 there left New York on steamships bound for foreign ports a total Of 3s1.O68 persons, during 1914 departures were 418.S86.
 During last July, just before the outbreak of the war. arrivals at New fork were 50,5 as against 1OS, ,909 during July, 1918. June shows the greatest loss for any month of the year, the record for that month in 1913 being 13s,690 aliens and 11.279 citizens while in June. 1914, 5z,139 aliens and 10.ss0t citizens reached port.
 immigration officials and represen- tatives of the inmig grant aid societies place the falling off in inami grafton, aside from the war, which is the chief factor. as being due to curtaf1ing Of work in the United States and to an effort to restrict immigration by pro viding work at home

H:verybody iii the Great Forest wondered why Billy Bull Frog sang so do1efulIy every night from his lily pad son the lake. s ss
 It had happened in this way. Bi1- Iy Bull Frog had a very deep bass voice, and every night he would sit on big flat rock amid tall sedse grass and sing. There was a little green lady frog that sang beautt- fu1 soprano, and Billy was very very fond of her. indeed. but, you sec his voice was so loud and strong and deep that hardly any one could hear the little green soprano when she sang. She should hardly even hear herself for the louder she sang the more noise Billy would make. till finally the little green lady frog wouldn't sing at all.
 But even this did not make Billy feel so very badly, because he loved to hear his own voice so much. The little green lady frog would sit very still on her lily pad, and would moi even look at Billy when he sang. But. Oh dear me! he was so conceited about his own voice that he thought the little green lady frog was jealous of him.
 She wasn't at all, and Biliy was wrong and was acting very. very foolishly. The real truth of the mat ter was that the little green lady frog

 In fact he was very lovely about 1 it, and did not try to drown her voice at all. the way the ponpouss bass voiced Billy Bull Frog did
 At first she was very timfd, and hardly dared sing with Tommy Tree Toad, the tenor; first, because she was a little afraid of what Billy Bull I Frog might do if he got real angry land then because. too, she did no1 know Tommy Tree Toad very well, al she had only seen him dirnly from 1 her lily pad as he sat way up in higk lin his tree and sang.
 But after a while she beca1ne 1 bo1der and one night, when the moor
