EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS
LAST SHIP LEAVING GOTTENBURG, MORE ABOUT CHAINING IN GERMANY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.20 a.m.) LONDON, October 20. The last of three vessels carrying repatriated war prisoners is expected to leave Gothenburg tomorrow morning for Britain. The Berlin radio announced that a war prisoner exchange through Barcelona will occur next Tuesday. A British private, being repatriated from Gothenburg, said that when orders were given that Allied prisoners should be chained, in reprisal for the Dieppe raid, no chains were available ai his camp. The guards bound the prisoners with string from Red Cross parcels, but later they were given handcuffs, some of which had been made in England.
