Montréal Man Tells of Civilian Pris- oners' Life. Back on British soll after nearfy three and a half years of German in- ternnéiit camp life, Mr. A. EB. Schip- nel of Montreal, was the only Cana- dian civilian Among the lot of repa- triated Britishérs who arrived a few days ago at the little old Lincoln- shire seaport of Boston on the shores of the North Sea. The Toronto Tele- gram's representative met him in London. Though born in Germany arid of German parentage, the return- ed man has lived nearly all his life in Canada, of which he is a eitizen. A wife and several boys eagerly awaited his return. "We left Ruhleben Camp about 9 in the morning, after having been made to stand oh the railway station platform for abotit two hours: It was bitterly cold and the train was abso- lutely unlicated. My feet bocama numb with cold. I became quite 11 on the journey. We reached the Dutch frontler about 10 (hat same night and there got into railway car« vay that wero heated."
