An Atlantic Port.-After being kept
In German prison for three years DR..
Henri SEVERN Beland, postmaster gen.
eral Of Canada under Premier Wllfrid
Laurier, and who lives at Beauce, 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
go from Berlin to see her when she
was dying. The news of his wife's
death was withheld from him for II
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.
1t was because he had held this pollti-
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-ave years
old.
During the three years he lost 20
pounds In weight, and his luxurlant
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
we're I'll and to learn to speak. read,
and write German fluently. 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.

TELLS OF SURGERY'S TRIUMPH

Surgery's greatest triumph during
this war has come through repudia-

come through the elimination of disin-

wounds, and the substitution therefor
of the knife.
1t was not in those words that Col.
Herbert A. Bruce, consulting surgeon
of the British armies in France, whose

he was asked what he regarded as the
greatest achievement of surgical sci

SHE HELPED BUILD SHIPS

"Many a woman who stands all

board, cooks three meals and looks

far harder job than most men in the

This is the conclusion Of Mrs. Mar

B. Harrison of Baltimore, based on
weeks experiences in overalls as a
shipbullder for the Bethlehem Ship
building corporation at Sparrows

Best Kind of PLAY is Work.

One Of the best kinds of play is
work. Many of the elements of play
enter into work if it is performed in
the right spirit. The most satisfying
forms of play are those In which inter-
est is excited; competition, with desire
to succeed and accomplish some def
mite end, makes the game worth play
ing. Work is fatiguing and distaste-
full when it is lacking in these ele-
mcnts.
