Henri SEVERN Beland, postmaster gen.
eral Of Canada under Premier Wilfrid
Bauriery aand who lives at Beauee. In
the province Of Quebec, arrived here,
accompanied by his daughter, Miss
Jeanette, who was held In Belgium by
the Germans while her father was in
Germany. Added to the sufferings of
his Imprisonment was the death of
his wife in Belgium after he had been
locked up for Is months.
His jailers refused to allow him to
60 from Berlin to see her when she
was dying. The news of his wife's
death was withheld from him for IL
days, and he was only given the date
after he had begged to be allowed to
go to her funeral, to show that it was
too late.
Doctor Beland was only postmaster
general for two months In 1911 when
the Laurier administration was de-
feated over the reciprocity question.
It was because he had-held this politi-
cal appointment that the Huns would
not permit him to leave Germany two
years ago when arrangements were
made between that country and Great
Britain for the exchange Of civilian
prisoners more than forty-flve years
old.
During the three years he lost 20
pounds in weight, and his luxuriant
black hair became thin and turned
gray. The only occupations he had
were to attend the prisoners and
the officials Of the prison when they
were Ill and to learn to speak, read,
and write German fiuently. He was
finally released in exchange for the
brother of Prince Won Bulow, who was
the head of the Krupp Gun company in
London before the war.
The doctor was in northern France
in August, 1914, and his wife was stop
