Back Como the Birds.
(BuIletin by the State Ornithologist
OF Massachusetts,

OF MaSSa chusettS(
Looking back now on the winter
that is past we find that the hard,
bitter cold and deep snow have talk
ell their toll of bird life. Many birds
have died in the north. but no report
of such casualties has come from the
south Since February came in some

adec, mocking- bird, robin and blue
bird. are among those found dead.
Many meadow larls were picked up
frozen, some evidently starved, others
plump and we'll fed. some with food
in their stomachsv This is similar to
the unusual experiences of the hard
winter of 10000. when a few we'll
n0urished birds were found frozen.
the woodpeckers have had hard
time except where people fed them,
as the trees were frozen so hard that
they could pierce the wood with diff
fculty and they have sought insect
food in old timbers in the interiors Of
sheds and in other sheltered places.
Dead WoOdpecl1ers and fickers have
been reported from New Hampshire.
In northern and western Massachu-
sets and in Maine and New Hamp-
shire the great northern pilcated
woodpccker, has hammered and torn
the dead trees Of the forest in search
of food.
The disappearance Of many birds
during tho severe weather in Decent
Der was not caused so much by
death as hv migration. Lapland
IongspurS were reported south to
Pennsylvania. All along the Atlantic
seaboard winter birds drifted into the
sheltered river valleys in late Deem
hcr on toward the coast and then
southwark. Birds took advantage Of
shelter everywhere. A Screech owl
roasted in a hooded chimney top. A
rcd-ShOuldered hawk and a mocking-
bird showed sOOtN underparts and
must have sought some similar roost-
ing place. A blue jay often sat on
warm manure heap, but frOze at last.
Along the coast from Cape Cod to
South Carolina small birds fOcked in
sheltered localities where they could
find food. Many that remained in

NYGREN BROTHERS HOME.

Dick Nygren, who has been with
a flying section of the aviation serv-
ice at Fort Sill, Okla, arrived home
this afternoon. He is to be discharged
from the army on account of physi-
cal disability. While in the service
he received several falls and is now
pretty badly disabled. He has OPP
posed his discharge as he wants a
chance at the Huns. He is deter
mined to go to Canada when he re-
covers and get into the aviation serv-
ice there, if possible. BY strange CO.
incidence his brother, Oscar, has been
discharged from Camp DeVens be-
cause OF disability and also arrived
home today.

AS the ice along the coasts began to
go out In January, five king elders
were reported from Block Island, r.
l.. and later ole from Nahant.
Mass Still later a male HARLEQUIN
duck was observed in the harbor of
Vineyard Haven, Mass. Although
many of the fresh water wild fowl
went far south during the great frost
their nOrthward movement started
early. The sea. ducks were pushed to
sea by the ice again in February. and
hard pressed for food. Vast flights of
scOterS slirted the ice on the south
of New England Bald eagles hung
about Newbulvport, Mass, and Bar
HarbOr, Me. At least one great blue
heron has been reported from Cape
Cod in every winter month.
February saw the Canada geese
breasting the ice in their northward
trend, and on March flock passed
over Nashua, n. H. A few lesser
scaup and pitfalls were reported that
month from the Cape Cod district
and near Boston. Wilson'S snipe,
which have wintered near a spring in
Lynn, Mass for many years, disap-
peared in December and did not re-
turn until the last week in February
There have been few reports on
bird life from the northern woods. as
much of the time the snow has been
too deep and soft for good snowshoe-
ing. Deer are said to have becn
killed and eaten by dogs, foxes and
lynNcs. The only report of great
numbers of northern winter birds
came from Coos county, n H, in
February, where many red cross
bills, white-winged crossbills. pine
grosbeaks and pine siskins were seen
feeding on cone seeds. Three white
winged crossbills were seen near Ben
nington, VT, Feb. IL Reports seem
to agree that the snow bunting has
been the only small bird from the
north that has been generally numer-
Gus all winter in New England. A
few mourning doves wintered on the
Massachusetts, coast but their num-
hers grew steadily less, thinned by
frost and foes, until they disappeared.

Bristol Clergyman, With Iron
Cross, Protests Loyalty TO U. 5.

Hartford. July 16.-Trial of the
Rev. Theodore Beussel Of Bristol
German Lutheran clergyman, ac-
cused of dislOyal utterances, was re-
sumed in the United States district
court today before Judge II. b. Howe
and Il jury.
Mr.. Beusscl was recalled to the
stand when court opened and the
cross mination resumed by Assis-
tant District Attorney Crosby. He
had the accused identify specimens Of
his own handwriting. This included
copy OF a speech prepared by him
and cards on which he had written,
all bearing things alleged to be COM
plimentary to Germany.
Clergyman Imbibes a Bit.
Mr.. Crosby questioned him about
his drinking habits. He said he was
temperate, but not prohibitionist.
i drink a little som etimes in COM
pany."
do YOU ever drink alone?"
Il do. 1 keep Il little cordial in
my room"
In answer to questions he said he
was true German citizen up to
october 6. 1916. when he got his full
naturalization, but since then he had
been q loyal American.
Up to then you loved Germany"
said Mr.. Crosby.
My love was in a different direc-
ton then" said the Minister
ION girl?" he was asked
Yes said Mr.. Beussel
Where was your heart?" asked
Mr.. Crosby.
In Bristol Conn., he said
Loves the Whole World.
You had no choice between Ger
many and America them
Il am a preacher and an ambassa-
dor of Jesus Christ, and love all
people. The world is my field" he
replied.
Gods curse on them ?" asked Mr.
Crosby.
SHOW me that" said Mr.. Beussel.
A card bearing those words were
shown and he said they were not his
words.
why did YOU write them ?" asked
the court.
"If 1 wrote them" he replied, 'it
was because somebody else said it and
[ wanted to talk to him or have
somebody else talk to him."
Mr.. Crosby produced an iron cross
and the witness said he received it
in Bristol. Judge futile objected, an
argume nt followed and Judge Howe
excluded it. REORGANIZATION end
ed here. On redirect examination
he denied he had ever preached q
sermon against the United States en-
tering the war with Germany.
