BERLIN, Jan. 26-(By Associated Press. )-There has been no passive resistance on the part of Old Father Stork in the Ruhr and the Rhineland. This fact is shown by statistics just made public. The new records point to the conclusion that the biz bird was buster than usual during the final quarter last year and that he visited more homes than he had in any similar period since 1914.

'YalIer' Is Lost While Shipnate = Fight for Then Lives Off !
 :, Long Island s;:,j

NEW YORK, Jan. 26AVhen ths crew of. the snubnosed granite carrier William Bisbess dropped anchor off City Island and the storm-tossed erewsshad furled and secured their sails. in the height of the terrific gale which was sweeping the coast, every one of them breathed a sigh of relief. They had saved their own lives. but there were heavy. hearts aboard for eYaller. 7 one of the truest little shipmates that ever trod a,,;pIank, was gone, swept over board by a tremendous sssa that had threatened to carry down the lumber ing schooner and all her crew. '''ss s5F.s
 The William .Bisbess is just a snub- nosed craft, carrying great blocks of granite from the New England quar- ries for New York skyscrapers. She sat so. low in the water with their, weight that one could dip pail of water by reaching over her rail. When the gale struck, Capt. George Eldridge put. two men to hold the wheel and he and the rest of the crew fought for their lives in the fury of the Atlantic hurricane.
 '.'The rain drove down on us in tor rents,' said the captain, "and it be- came so black we could scarcely see hands before our faces certainly was glad when we let the hook drop off City Island. Then the boys had some fun getting in the canvas.". @
 According to the stories of the crew, "Yaller" was the pet of the fo'castle. He came aboard in Rockland some months ago and voluntarily signed on as q member of the ships company.
 ''He took it into his fool dog head to go on deck just when 1t got to blowing hard and 1 guess he was blowed overheard or slipped his foot,,"s said the cook. He described him as "a little pup all cOlors, mostly yaller," and added That's how he got his name"
 It is said that when the wind was shrieking through, the rigging and the seas were stopping over the sides of the schooner and the rain stung the faces of the oil-skinned men at the wheel. Capt. Eldridge roared in the ear of his mate:

LOST AN EAGLE?!
 WELL, HERE ITS
Bird Whose Life Was Saved By
 Nuns Now Terrorizes Or
 phan Asylum /

LODI, N. J., Jan. 28.--The Felician Sisters who conduct q Catholic orphan. age here, have taken such good care of sick gray eagle for three weeks that today 1t had grown 50 powerfeul, fierce and threatening that the mother SUI perior was begging for help. They are afraid to turn it loose. It looks big enough to fly off with a moderate sized orphan. It gives piercing screams, shakes its cage with great talons, strikes right and left with its long curved beak and beats Its prison with huge wings. If it keeps on growing stronger 1t is only question of time when it will wreck its rickety cage. Its getting stronger every day lsaid the mother superior. We don't know what to do with it. We are afraid to let it 70 because it might dc harm. We thought at first it was q tame eagle, but now we fear it was g wild one'
 Believing the eagle might have been a domesticated one that had escaped from the owners, the sisters put an advertisement in the papers. But the advertisement has not brought to light anybody that lost an eagle. The idea of donating the bird to zoo is now under considera ton.
 wen have to do something with 1t very soon," said the mother superior
 Shivering, with disheyeled feathers and dropping head, the eagle was first noticed sitting on a limb in the or. phanage' playground. There are legends that when food is scarce the great gray eagle sometimes selects a child of suitable size and carries it to it's aerie.
 Consequently small children were kept in places of safety when the big bird was first noticed and men were called to drive the eagle away. It would not shoo. Loud noises and threats with sticks and missiles did not disturb it. Finally they decided that 1t was mighty sick eagle. They shook 1t from the limb It fluttered to the ground, made feeble show oi fight, but surrendered quickly and al lowed itself to be put in a wooden cage. The theory then was that il was some neighbor's eagle, a tame harmless bird.
 The mother superior directed that it should have the very best care. It immediately took a turn for the bet. ter. Its feathers smoothed out and its handsome green eyes became alert. It seemed then like desirable pet. But 1t soon became healthy enough to pro. test against its captivity.

HAND OF COP FELL.
 INSTEAD OF COIN
But Courtyard Singer Was In
 Luck-Steak o. K.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Edward Miller struck the high note in the Rosemary" with ease and accuracy and held it. He thrilled it and warbled 1t and listened with pride as his tenor voice reverberated about the court. While he held the note and prepared to descend and finish with great feeling. his mind pictured the perfect rain of nickels and dimes that would be drop ped down to him by the appreciative Occupants of the apartment house. The high note ended in squawk as a heavy hand fell on the singers shoulder and whirling around he gazed into the blue eyes of Detective Jack Werle of the Hunters Point Precinct.
 At the office of the detectives in Fourth street, Long Island city, De tective Werle told him that there had been considerable petty robberies in the apartment houses at Queen S Boulevard and Bragaw street. Long Island city, where he was singing, and that one of the tenants became nervous because of his early morning visit and telephoned to the police.
 Miller said he was an orphan and lived at the Tenement hotel at Twen- ty-eighth street and Seventh avenue, Manhattan. With shaky voice, Mil Ter, who is a slightly-bulit lad with Iong, blond hair, assured the detective tbat he was not burglar but a singer who was down on his luck.
 "I come from folks who have been great singers he said but I can't seem to make hit. This week I have made so little that l have scarcely eaten. My luck has been so poor in New York that I thought I would try Long Island city. That is my whole story"
 Detective Wood looked the slim youth over from head to foot and then |:

 '. War dramas are not as popular in Germany as in the old days when the Kaiser was in power. But, neverthe- less, producers endeavor frequently to present a play having as an angle the World war. Most of these plays meet with the approval of the public after Q few performances. The latest war drama, presented in Dresden, pictured the junfaithful wife of a soldier wounded in the war and contained frequent lines days of anxiety and uncer- tainty on every hand. This led to the Withdrawal of the, play, notwithstahd. ing the fact that the producer as well as !, the leading character appealed < to the audience to permit the play to live.
