Maine Gossip
New England

I dream of a languorous tideless shore,
OF azure light in magic caves.
Of healthy hills with SUBMITS boar
That wade knee deep in northern
waves;
OF rainbow sails like butterflies
That 1lutter to an old world quay,
Or where a buried city lies
Beneath the sands Of Brittany.
Nay. But my own New England coast,
Pungent with wild rose, pine and bay:
Brown marsh white sand, gray rocks
The fiercest surf, the widest spray.
Ho! For me
Where the white, white sails go flashing
to the sea,
And the sea wind is the east wind, as the
sea wind ought to be.
I dream of a castle covered height:
OF gardens with eternal flowers,
And messy fountains cleaning WHITE
OF lemon groves and tropic bowers;
or faire glens and haunted nails.
Where mystery walks to and fro;
OF palaces on gay canals,
OF English green and alpen glow.
| Nay! But New England's apple trees,
Her homeiy houses, square and pain,
The simple gardens loved of bees,
The maple groves, the frs OF Name
Ho. For me ,,
! play to see,
And the sea wind Is the east wind, as the
sea wind ought to be-

come into such violent conflict with
their Austrian Naval colleagues as TO
compel their permanent separation
There is the picture of the German
Austrian alliance in its entirety
polite distrust at the top, hate and
straining apart at the bottom.
Bismarck long ago said Of the alii-
ance that it was "eine Vernunf-
theirat," a marriage of convenience.
In such a union incompatibility OF
temper may be taken as matter of
course.
Economic as well as political mo-
tives attached the Dual Monarchy
as the tail to the soaring German kite.
Austria needed money and credit to
develop her resources. She needed
friendly markets for her products.
She needed German strength to keep
the lid on the swelter of racial con-
fiict within her borders. and to help
guard those borders. She wanted the
North to Black-Sea waterway pro-
ject completed. in itself the very es-
sence of Mittel- Europe. And SO she
bound herself to Germany with letters
of linked gold and steel. Where Ger
many led. she must follow. And Ger
many led--or pushed-her into war.
War has done nothing for Austria:
il has done everything to her. Never
without assistance has she won a
campaign. From Serbia. from Rur-
STA. from Italy. she has in turn suf-
fered defeat, with incalculable loss Of
life. In March she called to the ranks
he boys of the 1920 class; now she
sends old men of the Landstrum to the
front because there are no others.
Within the land there are hunger
and disease and death. Last May
Emperor Karl babe his people hold
out until the harvest; now the harvest
is reported poorer even than Ger
manys. Again comes the winter of
famine and food riots in the cities,
with deaths ever exceeding births.
The racial conflict has intensified.
Hungarian and German-Austrlan
hate each other worse than the foe.
Czech and Pole turn their backs on
the war or desert to the enemy. Min
istries are built up only to be over
thrown.
Financially the Nation is bankrupt.
Even to the foreign, holders of Its
gold bonds 1t must pay interest In
discredited paper money. The Gov
ernment's credit is drowned in a paper
sea.
That is Austria's fate in wear.
Small wonder, then that from En-
peror to humblest peasant the Ma
ton longs for peace, yet, longing,
must wait upon the word of its Ger
man master. Small wonder that, be
they Czernin and Michaelis, or Aus
trian Hans and German Fritz at
Pola, the "allies" look upon each other
with distrust or hatred.

him wealth and power, that Teutonic
Faust sold his soul to Satan. And at

GIBBONS OFF FOR CAMP

Dr.. Gibbons leaves Celina this
morning for Indianapolis, where he
will enter Camp Benjamin aHrrison,
to which he has been assigned as a
surgeon.
DR., Gibbons was one of the first
young men of this city to volunteer
when the nation sent out the call
for physicians and surgeons.
His father was here paying him a
farewell visit Thursday.
Celina is exceedingly sorry to lose
Dr. Gibbons as one of it's resident
physicians. Durin ghis stay in Ce-
lima he has made many friends and
acquired good practice. His friends
are all hoping that he may return to
Celina at the end Of his term of mil
itary service. And wherever he may
be stationed, whether as local prac-
titioner, nthe training camp, or in
field service, he will make for him
self a splendid record.

WAR VETERAN
COTTRELL DEAD

Marion Cottrell, one of the best known
civil war veterans in Celina, died after
brief illness yesterday morning at his
home in the Lakeview addition, aged II.
He had been in poor health for a long
time, but his death came as a surprise,
as he was seen on the streets almost
daily and seemed in his usual spirits.
Mr.. Cottrell had been a resident of
Celina for about forty-fve years, and
was one of those characters of patriotic
mold that always celebrate patriotic
days, and for this he was known to al
most every person in the community.
He was the owner of a cannon that he
brought forth on every occasion of in
terest, and its thunder brought atten-
ton to holidays that many less patriotic
had forgotten was on the calendar. He
could be found at every celebration that
the flag was run up. The cannon in
question, it is stated, has been placed in
charge of Veterans Cook and Johnson
What more appropriate for a monument
for Marion Cottrell than this old cannon
he loved so we'll? Let donotion be
taken up and plate, suitably engraved,
placed upon it, and let the relic of civil
war days stand as a sentinel over his
last resting place.
Mr.. Cottrell was a member of Roop
Post, GAR, and his funeral, which
takes place tomorrow. will be under the
direction of that organization.

PERSONAL

Chas. w. TouVelle, of Canton, is here
visiting his old home town and the
friends of his youth, the number of
whom he finds fast diminishing, either
through death or changes of residence.
He is enjoying himself among those who
still remain to talk of old times. He is
making his headquarters at the Ashley.
B. c. Hoyug, former cslina boy, for
some time past making his home at
Grafton, VIVA, being with the Royal
Window Glass Co., is here spending his
vacation on the north shore of Grand
Lake.
Carl Schroeder, OF Chicago, who has
been spending his vacation at his old
home in Butler township, made The
Democrat a pleasant call Wednesday
while in town. Carl has been a shipping
clerk with Sears Roebuck Co., the great
mail order house, for the past fourteen
years, and has seen it grow into the gi-
gantic concert it is from a comparatively
modest beginning.
VIM. Woods, a member of Company
K, Second Regiment, O.N.G, has been
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Andy
Lincoln, the past week, laid mp with
dangerously sore arm, resulting from
vaccination. The swelling has COM
menced to recede, and it is now believed
the danger line is passed and he will
soon be able to join his company.
Mrs. John Hardin, of St. Louis, Mo-,
has returned home after spending the
last couple months in Celina with Mr..
Hardin's mother, and relatives in and
about Van Vert and Portland. Mrs.
Edward Bowers, niece, accompanied
her home for a few weeks visit.
