Dreams.

Dreams.
IN the city, bright and gay,
Comes dream of going
Where the rural breezes stray
And the streams are flowing.
Underneath the open sky,
Where the stars are cleaning,
For the city lights you sigh
In your daytime dreaming.
Dreams forever rise anew,
Hope is unabating;
For each dream that has come true
There's another waiting.

PARIS (uncensored-by messenger
from SPAIN ).-Allegations that the
Valencia government is trying to pre-
vent dissatisfied foreign volunteers
from quitting Loyalist service have
excited considerable comment in
SPANS diplomatic circles.
A number of those who have served
in the International Brigades reported
they were forced to risk the penalties
OF desertion as applied to regular
Spanish troops upon undertaking to
leave the service.
This. they complain, is in violation
OF the agreement they said the gov
ernment made with them upon their
enlistment. They said they were
assured they would be permitted to
terminate their service any time they
wished and that facilities for the re-
turn to their respective countries
would be extended.
Lawrence Mullens, Canadian res
ldent OF Niagara Falls, N. Y, who left
Loyalst ranks, told newspaper men
that he had been forced to forge safe
conduct passes to escape from Alba
cete, general headquarters of the In
ternational Brigade.
Tim Keenan, of Dublin. who left like
Mullens, vouched for Mullens' state
ment, declaring he had been threat
ened with court-martial when he ex-
pressed desire to return to Ireland.
Both were given the protection of
the English consulate at Valencia
until they could leave on an English
warship bound for Marseille.

had understood would be deferred by
the government were charged against
the men, they declared. Tobacco, GER
