One of these men was Oscar Scheiber, who after being internedyat Fort Henry for some months, was given ns parole, providing he report re- gularly. The mayor of Gananoque at the meeting of the towh council last week reported that he had been inter- viewed by Oscar Scheiber, who stated that he was unable to procure work on account of his nationality, and | could not exist without assistance. He | was referred to Councillor Cowan, who gave him $2. Councillor Cowan being gently re-| proved by Councillor Dowsley for be-; ing so "easy," replied that 'it was like drinking gall" to give the money, but under the circumstances he saw no other tous open to him. It developed that Scheiber has held several jobs in factories at Ganan- oque, but always left after working, awhile, and never took the trouble to give notice of his intention. Councillor Karr stated that he had engaged Scheiber, but when the men in the shop heard of it they refused to work with him. Chief Ryan said that Scheiber was] still on parole and was supposed to report periodically to him, but had, not done so. This neglect on the part of the German renders him liable to authority and have the man sent | pack. He will arrive at Fort Henry this week. Sp------ KINGSTON OFFICERS BACK FROM FRONT Capt.
