PRIVATE H. H. COLLINS REPORTED
DEAD,

Monday afternoon Private Herbert
Harmon Collins parents received tele-
gram from the Adjutant General at
Washington, D. c., saying: "Private
Herbert H. Collins of the 127th Infantry,
Co. H., previously reported slightly
wounded in action Oct. 4th, is now re-
ported died about Oct. 4th. Cause of
death to be determined" His la It letter
home bore the date of Sept. 18th and his
first letter was written Aug. 18th, his
birthday, when he said: 81 shall never
forget this day." 1t is now supposed
that he was in action from Aug. 18th to
Oct. 4th, when wounded. His family
have been anxious and in response to in
quires sent through the Red Cross, the
message was received several weeks ago
that he was suffering from gunshot
wounds He went to Camp Devens in
the draft in May, 1918. and left for France
in July. He was anxious to do his part
in the war and had courage that all would
be we'll with him. With his citizens
clothes from Camp Devens came the
message to his mother to put them where
he always kept them as he would later
come home. His letters from Camp Dew
ems said the life just suited him. Private
Collins was born in Belfast August 49,
1895, the next to the youngest child of
Michael j. and Mary Clark Collins and
his death is the first break in their fam
lily of eleven children. He attended the
city schools, was always good boy and
mace an exemplary young man. For a
time he was employed in Mathews mill
and at the time he was called in the
draft he was clerking for the hardware
firm of Wadsworth- Rowland Co. of Bos-
ton. The deepest sympathy of the city
is extended his bereaved relatives.
Among the surviving are his parents and
the following brothers and sisters: Mae
A, wife of Timothy Crocker of South
Hyannis, Mass, John S. of Belfast, Mrs.
Louise E. Strecker of Allston, Mass,
Nellie j., wife of Edward H. Fletcher of
Belfast, Charles M. of Belfast, Sarah c.,
wife of Charles W. Lockwood of Water
town, Mass, Henry W., now at Hyeres,
France, in the 57th Artillery, C. A. c.,
Ralph S. of Brighton, Mass, Private Ell
mer S., now In the quartermasters corps
in the New York General Hospital,
Alphonso E. of Brighton. Ralph and
Alphonso have recently received their
discharges from Camp Devens, where
they were in training.

A Belfast Artist Honored.

Studio Lights, small craft magazine
published by the Eastman Kodak Com
pany of Rochester, N. Y, is always in
teresting as work of art in photography
and Typography, but when the February
number reached our desk we were de-
lighted to find that all of it's ten full-page
illustrations were from the studio of one
of Belfasts professional photographers.
Each page bears the credit to Charles A.
Townsend, Belfast, Maine,' and the de-
scriptive phrase, Eastman Commercial
Ortho Film, Artura Print. This means
more to the professional photographer
than to the average reader, but everyone
can appreciate the beautiful pictures that
adorn its pages.
Two of the landscape pictures were
taken last summer by Mr.. Townsend in
the White Mountain region and are more
than photographs; they are really works
of art. The scenery is grand and CLINT
of sunshine is seen even in the magazine
reproduction. The other two landscapes
are scenes at the Belfast Water Works.
Little River just above the dam has fur
nlshed scene as artistic, even if it lacks
the grandeur of mountain peaks. Its ir-
regular shore lire with familiar foliage
and flowers are restful and the cloud eff
fect5 are wonderful. The other view is
of the dam proper and is perfectly clear
even in the section showing the foam as
the falls meet the river.
The garden view at the Crosby summer
home on Northport avenue is peep into
a veritable fairyland and so distinct that
the pond lilies seem to bob in their pool
and the raceme and single flowers even
in the distance are readily recognized
, The vine home with its awning
shaded windows and cosy retreats is very
picturesque.
The Others are interior views, including
view of the operating room of the Wal
do County Hospital, light, airy and sani-
tary, with its modern apparatus. The
picture is so clear that the instruments
can be easily seen in their glass cases.
The dining room of the Northport Coun-
try Club, looking towards its massive
stone fireplace, Is attractive and inviting
in its homelike atmosphere. The remain
ing views are in one of the most beautiful
private residences on the Maine coast
the Cobe mansion; sections OF the main
hall with its massive stairs statuary,
etc; its music room showing piano, the
wonderful pipe organ and several pieces
of artistic gold finished furniture. The sun
/ parlor scene show the artists skill more
than any of the above mentioned In the
immediate foreground can be seen plant
/ foliage, willow chairs, table and fireplace,
while in the perspective is an unshaded
window through which may be seen gar
den shrubs, the waters of the bay and
the shores of Searsport.
| MIR. Townsend's work in Belfast and
vicinity is always admired as he does
we'll everything he undertakes from post
card to wall picture; but it is in the
larger summer resorts both on the coast
and among the mountains that he has
done some of his best work.

FLETCHER E. STAPLES.

Fletcher E. Staples, son of the late

young man entered the Henry L. Lord
store as pressman. Later he learned the
tailor's trade and became very expert.
He was employed for a time in Boston
and while there received an injury to his
head which caused insanity and the re-
mainder of his days were spent in the
Hospital in Bangor, where he died very
suddenly Feb. Goth. The remains were
placed in the receiving tomb and the
funeral will be held in the spring when
the interment is made in the family lot in
Swanville.
