OSTERHAUS SEEKS BIRD FARM

Rear Admiral Comes Home From Germany and Saye He Will Raise Canaries. New York. —Rear Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, U. S. N., retired, who was in command of the great fleet of warships making up the north Atlantic squadron at the time of his retirement on his sixty-first birthday last June, proposes to start a canary bird farm. He is back from Germany, where he has been visiting his ninety-one-year-old father, Brlg.-Gen. Peter J. Osterhaus, U. 8. A., retired, who has a bird farm in Germany. “I feel lost without something to do," said Admiral Ostertaus, "and I have invented a job for myself. I

have brought over twelve canary birds and am going to start a bird farm like my father's. I shall raise doves on my farm, too, and call them ‘doves of peace.'”

Rear Admiral Hugo Osterhaus.
