~ the many people who have suffered
by this war. the one who has been
most deeply Inundated Is Prince
Henry, husband Of Queen wilhelmlna. Of
Holland.
Prince Henry's sufferings have not been
heroic. He has been kept practically a
prisoner In his wife's palace, spied on. for
hidden to communicate with his German
friends and generally treated as a sus-
picious character by the country Of his
adoption.

Dutch Independence an anxious and burn

German husband TO stand In the way Of
protecting their interests.
The Queens consort was born a Prince
OF Mecklenburg- Schwerln, and his nephew
Is the reignirg Grand Duke OF Mecklen-
burg-Schwerin. a sovereign OF the German
Empire. Prince Henry was trained as an
officer In the German army and still holds
honorary rank In It.
The Dutch have long felt that their
powerful and growing neighbor. Germany,
was a danger to them. Holland has the
doubtful advantage OF holding the mouth
OF the River Rhine, which flows through
Germany.
A large element OF Dutchmen once
looked TO England as their friend. but the
Boer war occurred and dampened their
British enthusiasm.
Then the invasion of Belgium by Ger.

With considerable ingenuity these people
circulated In Holland large numbers of
photographs showing Prince Henry in his
German uniform as an officer OF the Prus-
sian Guards. the one which he usually
wore up to the time he became the hus-
band Of Queen wilhelmIna.
This. OF course. was a pointed reminder
to the Dutch that the Prince had sworn
allegiance to the Kaiser. The photographs
excited considerable popular anger and
were frequently subjected to i~ndignities.
Other episodes occurred which brought
the Prince into more direct conflict with
the Dutch authorities. A large number OF
German officers were among the German
troops who accidentally strayed over the
Dutch frontier into Holland and were In
termed there.
The Primo paid frequent visits to the
Imprisoned officers. had long and friendly
talks with them, and supplied them with
Injuries. Some OF them were old personal
friends OF his. and he naturally felt n
