disappeared after the statesman was

FRENCH STORK IN PRUSSIA
Birds HIVE Deserted Regions Where
Fighting Has Been Going On
This Nenr.

BERLIN. October "a French stork
has recently been discovered in East
Prussia. 1t was proven to be from
France by n ring fastened around its
leg-;l device that has been adopted
by archaeological societies in Europe
for studying the migrations of birds
At the same time it is reported that
the storks have entirely deserted the
regions of France and Belgium where
fighting has been going on this year
When this fact was first made known.
IL was hoped that the French and Bel
Sian birds would seek new homes in
the Rhine country OF Germany, but this
appears to have occurred only to a
slight extent. 1t is regarded as prob
able that many of them have gone to
East Prussia. as some regions there
have far more than their usual num-
bcrs. II is also assumed that the
storks. which have been driven out OF
Russian Poland also by the noise of
war; have largely sought new homes
in East Prussia.

picion pointed to Christian Hirtmeier,
one of the hired men of the murdered
man. The youth--he was only seven

the search was given up, as it was
supposed that the murderer had es-
capped to America.

the prison camp nca- Frankfurt, and
when she returned home she notified
the authorities that she had seen the
escaped murderer among the French

The prisoner AT first positively de-
MED being a German. but he broke
