DIR. OLA NJ. DRAKE.

II was with genuine grief and sense OF
personal loss that many friends through
out Hancock county learned that DIR.
olin NJ. Drake hsd passed from the seen
to the unseen, at his home in Boston on
November II. Funeral services, conducted
by Rev. X. B. Mathews, were held at the
home OF his niece, Mrs. John A. Peters,
last Thursday afternoon, and the inter-
ment WIS at Wood ine cemetery.
DIN NJ. Drake was born in EfiEghsm.
n. H., seventy-one years ago. After
graduating at tine Harvard medical school,
be began the practice OF medicine in this
city, remaining here antil 1891, when he
moved to Boston. Soon after coming to
Ellsworth he married Mary, daughter OF
the late Henry Whiting, who survives,
with one daughter, Mrs. Howard f.
Butler, of Boston and two grandchildren,
HOARD T., ir., aud Aary Butler, between
whom and the grandfather a strong tie
OF affection and comrsdeship existed.
OF bis own family, two brothers re-
maiu-Edward Drake OF bingham, and
DIR. I. n. Drake OF Pittsfeld, who minis
seAVd " JUS WIN
votion during the months of failing health.
A man OF strict integrity, cherishing
the highest ideals OF physician, DIR.
Drake devoted mis- life to his profession.
Beneath an exterior of reserve and self
restraint that sometimes bore semblance
to susterity, was depth of sympathy
and affection and rare capacity for
friendship. His home life was ideal.
Only those who had the privilege of see
ing him in the home circle knew DIR.
Drake at his best, and no guests were
more welcome than the old friends from
Ellsworth. In spite OF the exacting de-
mauds of his profession and an ever
increasing circle of acquaintance, he re-
tanned an unusual affection for the friends
OF his earlier years.
His family noticed a decline in his
health following the deaths of two Els
worth friends, OF whom he frequently
spoke, saying he did not wish to go back
again and not find them. Such friendship
is returned in kind. The warmest sym
pathy OF many friends is extended to the
stricken family.

Demand for Trained Teachers.

toi aSothCN5s
The demand for professional y trained
common school teachers is very great in
Maine at present, and will be increasingly
so during the period OF reorganization
and reconstruction after the war. Many
prospective teachers have entered some
form of war service, and many others are
teaching without experience or training
because OF the scarcity of teachers due to
conditions brought on by the war. As
result, the attendance at the Maine nor
nal schools is much lower than usual.
The reader Of this article no doubt
knows OF one or more individuals, who
are qualified to enter a normal school and
who are not engaged in teaching or in
any other form OF patriotic service. II the
reader will call the attention of such an
individual to the urgent need for trained
teachers, and will send the name OF such
a person to the principal OF one of the
Maine normal schools, q valuable service
will have been performed in the interest
of our boys and girls.
Prominent educators believe that with
In five years Maine will require all teach
ers to be graduates of q normal or training
school, and that the average salary will be
much higher than it now is.

An American Woman's Views on
Sympathy for Germany
NEW YORK, Nov. Is, 1918.
To The Editor of the American:
The great war has ended, and now we
are to take up the work OF reconstruction.
In one way it is a strange position for
US, as we have not heard a shot fred or
a gun roar, but, across, the smoke still
hangs over the allied lands and seas.
Almost before the armistice was signed,
Germany began her cry for sympathy.
Even the women sent to the Presidents
wife to enlist her aid, and these same
women (take heed, my countrymen) never
for a moment grieved over the sinking OF
the Lusitania with innocent men, women
protest W ben the bs bies OF Belgium were
slaughtered at their mothers breasts,
when the young girls, thousands upon
thousands, were carried away from
France by German brutes to suffer untold
agony until they were crazed, while the
mothers were made to work like the
beasts OF the field until they dropped
dead. Outraged Serbia and Poland,
every small nation, beaten and starved,
hundreds upon hundreds of towns and
cities laid to utter waste, the manning Of
millions OF men and women. the brutality
Of these Germans who are now holding
up their bloody hands for sympathy,
brought no protest from the women OF
Germany. These are but few of the
damnable items on the list.
And now these German beasts are fash
ing messages across the sea for our help,
trying their best to poison the minds of
our people and enlist sympathy. They
are working overtime now in our cities
and towns, to create sympathy.
We are only too glad to go without for
our starving allies, and nothing that we
can 90 shall be withheld. Germany is
still Germany, and can take care OF her
self unit! the time comes for her to have
help. For the present we will have sym
psthy only for our allies.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Wilson, in his proclamation
naming Thursday, Nov. IS, as Thanks
giving Day, says:
1t has long been our custom to turn in the
autumn of the year il praise and Thanksgiving
to Almighty God for His many blessings and
mercies TO us as a nation. This year We have
special and moving cause 10 be grateful aud
to rejoice. God has in His good pleasure Civ
en- US peace. II has not come as a mere cessa-
ton of arms, a mere relief from the strain
and tragedy OF war. It has come as a great
triumph of right. Complete victory has
brought us, not peace alone, but the condde Mt
promise of a new day as well, in which justice
shall replace force and Jealous intrigue
among the nations. Our gallant armies have
participated in triumph which is not
msrred or stained by any purpose of selfish
aggression. In righteous cause they have
won immortal glory and have nobly served
their nation in serving mankind. God has
indeed been gracious. We have cause for
such rejoicing as reyiyes and strengthens
in us all the best traditions of national his
tory. A new day shines about us in which
our hearts take new courage and look for
ward with new hope to new and greater
duties.
While we render thanks for these things
let US not forget TO seek the Divine guidance
In the performance OF these duties, and Di-
vine mercy and forgiveness for all errors of
act or purpose, and pray that in all that we
do we shall strengthen the ties of friendship
and mutual respect upon which we must
assist to build the new structure of peace and
good will among the nations.

Strength is the only thing that
Germany understands, declared a
member of the French high CON-
mission before the New York board
OF trade last week. "Let us remain
strong" he said. s'Let us not be too
generous, for sometimes generosity
is mistaken for weakness. 1t is
ridiculous to speak of good German
peopIe'-the same people shouted
with glee in the streets OF Berlin
when the Lusitania was sunk, with
American women and children"

That Col. Frederic Fl. Parkhurst of
Bangor is the logical nominee of the
republicans as the next governor of
Maine, is recognized not only in this
State, but by close observers of politi-
cal affairs outside the State. The
Boston Herald, in recent issue, SAYS:
"Former State Chairman Parkhurst
of Maine, who has been attached to
the national headquarters during the
recent campaign, passed the last week
OF il in Indiana. be accordingly de-
rives some satisfaction from the
solidly republican delegation which
the Hoosier state sends to the ne KIT
Congress. In his western travels he
also became convinced that Missouri
and Colorado would elect republican
senators-and they have done SO.
Mr.. Parkhurst, by the way, seems
likely to become the next governor
Of Maine. II public spirited service
in war activities and yeoman work for
the party at all times count in such
things, his path will be an easy one.''
Col. Parkhurst's path will be easy in
this section of Maine, all right. Not
only are his eminent qualifications for
governorship through legislative and
executive experience recognized here
as throughout the State, but he is
looked upon as one of us, and no re-
publican in this section thinks OF any
thing bat Parkhu rst for governor.

Propaganda for better peace terms.
is the way the German hunger plea is
sized up. 1t is known officially at
Washington that Germany has suffi-
cient food for immediate needs. A
press despatch from Washington
under date of Sunday says: ''In the
almost hysterical appeals of the Ger
man provisional government for sup
plies OF food and for permission TO
address itself directly through the
commission to the American public,
officials here see purpose to excite
the sympathy of large element of
the American population more or less
connected by blood ties with Ger
many. With such sympathies
aroused, the German government, it
was said, undoubtedly hopes to infiu-
ence the approaching peace confer
ence toward leniency."

The women of Germany appeal for

The lot Of the women and children Of

such as 1t is, only the Huns are to
