AT THE HANDS OF HONS EE m Dr. BELAND'S STORY OF GERMAN PRISON CAMP. fa A Canadan Member of Parliament Writes the Story of His Exper- tences As A Prisoner, 5) jegiuning with the first week of the New Year The, British Whig will Blic ition of the intensely in- My Threa Yeats in a German Prison," by Hon, Henri S Belahd, M.D, M.P., former Postmas- ter General of Canada, for which The British Whig has secured exclusive publication rights in this city. iis thrilling narrative is not a war story in the sense of dealing at length upon military events in Eu- rope, These are but briefly touched upon, the main narrative centering around Hon, Dr, Beland's personal experience and those of fellow-; prisoners during hie long imprison- ment in the Stadtvogte:, the great military prison of Berlin, and the | operating centre of the German mili- tary prison system. The story which Hon. Dr, Beland. will tell treats authoritatively with; German prison conditions--a subject of which little is actually known to the outside world, teresting story Hach Day in The Whig It will appear in The Whig each day, for six weeks or longer, until completed. The circumstances under which | Hon, Dr. Beland was arrested and | then imprisoned by the German au-' thorities are these: In the early summer of 1914, Hon. Dr. Beland vis ited Europe where his marriage to Madame Cogels was a ceremony of interest in Canada at the time, While in Switzerland on their wedding wip, Austria's ultimatum to Serbia, wich marked the beginning of the war, | was served When Germany a few days later entered the wat and her invasion of Belgium had begun, Hon. | Dr. Beland and his wife hastened {back to Mrs. Beland's former home in Cappellen, Belgium Although the German armies were daily drawing nearer, they decided to remain in Belgium, face the intruder and de fend their home if need be. Hon. Dr, Beland, learning of the great need of surgeons to attend the | Belgian wounded then pouring into Antwerp, immediately volunteered his services as a surgeon in the Aui-| werp Military Hospital, which were accepted. For days and weeks labored unseMishly, caring. for the, wounded as 'they arrived from the battle line, remaining at his post un- | til the Germans had accomplished | Antwerp's fall, he Eye Witness Story of Fight. | With this event he had to choose whether he should join the exodus of fleeing Belgians or remain in Bel- glum. He made the latter choice and retired to Cappellen, six 1ailes from Antwerp, which the Germans occupied the following day, taking possession of Mrs. Beland's estate. All the tragic events Connected with the flight of the population from werp and the ejection of the | Bglgians in the surrounding territory from their homes, he witnessed and in his story describes, Although his British citizenship was known to the Germans, he was promised and for several months en- joyed immunity from arrest at the hands of the invaders, who took cogz- nizance of the unselfish work he was performing to alleviate suffering and distress among the populace. But finally, although he held a letter from the German officer in command of the occupled district that he would be allowed a continuance of freedom, unmolested, an order came from German headquarters for his immediate arrest. No offence was cited against him and even the Ger-! trict who had granted him immun-' ity, when appealed t0, admitted Hon. Dr. Beland had done nothing to jus-' tity his arrest, Never Saw His Wife Again. Allowed but a few minutes to bid good-bye to his wife and children (by his first marriage) he was hui- ried by train to Berlin.

Months later she took ill. While she lay dy- ing appeals were made to the Ger- an authorities that he should be allowed to leave prison to visit her on her deathbed, but all were in vain. {For three years Hon. Dr. Beland was confined in the Stadtvogtei, the great military prison of Berlin, and the huge prison centre through which all important prisoners of war passed and were distributed to the different prisons throughout Ger- many. [In this prison were confined scores of notable prisoners from all parts of Europe and from Cermany, among the latter, members of the Reichstag, held for political offences. Conditions in the Prison Camps. It is upon life in this prison that the story centres. - If reveals actual conditions which existed in German prison life, of which the world has heard but little from an authorita- tive source--particularly from one who has endured and suffered as | Hon. Dr. Beland bas done. The pri- vations and inhuman 'treatmen: of prisoners which actually drove many to suicide as a means of ending their misery; hunger which through lack of fpod led prisoners $0 rob garbage cans of their contents; daring at- tempts at escape, some successful and others' frustrated with dire con- sequences to the participants; the brutality and low mentality of oMm- cers and guards of the prison; the employment of spies in the disguise of fellow-prisoners and their infam- ous work In trapping the unwary, some of whom after being success- fully spied upon were removed and never seen again; sketches of nat- ables political prisoners and the faitis they held dear--all 'these and many other incidents, tragic, sad and amusing, of a three years' cap- tivity fill chapter after chapter. of an intensely interesting story, brightly written by one who has written authoritatively upon what he has himself seen and endured. It need only be added that Dr. Beland, after long negotations between the British and German Governments through a neutral pow- er, obtained his release few months ago, in exchange for Von secretary of the Krupps in and a nephew of the great German statesman, ilon.

On Tuesday morning there wgre forty-seven cases, ten of these bding in hospital and-the oth- ers in the home. The superintend- ent of the home is at present in hos- potal with pneumonia, and the cook recently accidently broke her leg, so that there was a shortage of help at this institution, The situation was met, however, by a number of train- ed nurses and medical students who have taken charge, and are working hard to keep the epidemic bounds. Owing to this outbreak, the Christmas festibities will not be held until the epidemic has run its course, probably early in the ) new year.
