CARRANZA TALKS.
Says He Never Received Lauricr's
Notification TO Leave.
The Spaniard Has . Parting Fling at
the United States.

Montreal, Aug. 17.-Lieut. Carranza,
who sailed for Liverpool on Saturday
gave the Associated Press correspond
ent an interview on the way down the
river. He said that he had never dis
regarded Sir Wilfrid Laurier's invita-
tion to leave Canada, for the simple
reason that he had never received IL.
and in this connection again declared
that certain paragraphs In the letter
taken from his room were manutac-
tured in Washington In order to get
him expelled from Canada.
During his absence from Montreal ne
said that he had been travelling about
Canada enjoying himself, and that he
had twice been in the United States.
on his second trip he said he felt dis
posed to go to washington and call on
Chief Wiike, who had intimated to his
friends i'm Montreal that he was willing
to pay a good price to learn where he
was.
Concerning the conditions of peace,
he declared that IL would be impossible
TO find i'm history, except In barDarous
times, harder conditions. 1T Is spolia-
ton only TO be compared with the dis
memberment of Poland. The Ameri-
cans who went into this war with the
protesting cry Of humanity on their lips
now throw away their mask or hypo-
crisy, and by reason OF their strength
take all they want: and the rest or Eu-
rope, TO their shame, be 1t said, quietly
allow it."

Thoas bells OF peace! Those bells OF peace
winds gave their melody increase,
And hearts that sank that April day
Arose again like birds at play.
Those April bells spoke but of wrath,
OF dragons IN fair freedoms path.
Aud heralded the passing by
OF boys In blue to do or die.
A Wild alarm, those April bells
That ehostlike yet in memory dwells,
or ever stalks with bended head,
Lamenting the heroic dead.
Tor blood has fowed and spirits brave
Have left their easements 10 the grave;
While homes untouched have trembled
dumb
with dread OF news that next might come.
And so, as August bells ring out.
Each stroke is joys own merry shout,
And smiles come, chasing dread away,
Inviting thoughts 10 holiday.
