LIVES OF MEMBERS OF BRITISH

GIVE q NEW RELIGION SAYS EASTERN MINISTER; NO WALLS
 NEEDED DURING PRESENT TIME

DIES MONIES, la, June 30.--The young people of today, the targets of so much criticism at the present time, are not the ones to blame for their attitude, Rev. Bernard C.. Clausen, pastor of the First Bap- tist Church of Syracuse, N. Y, de- clared last night at the Northern Baptist convention in this city.
 Men are charging that the new generation is irreligious," he said. "If this be so, it is futile to spend time in blaming the youngsters The only sane thing for religious leaders to do is to find out what 21 wants in it's reli gion.'
 The thing that the new genera tions wants most, he declared, is arlessness. Tt demands a re- ligious faith which prescribes nc books prohibits no courses oi study, bans no contacts with the horizons of the worlds knowledge, erects no walls oUOut lIoCIl, Dut lCdi lessly answers every fair question:"
 'The nagging, don't of outworn pedagogy" is not the religion for 21, Dr. Clausen affirmed It in sists that religion treat of life rather than of death. The new generation has seen too many of its contemporaries die, at the glad heighth of a glorious adventure, to feel the need of religion which believes the call of death. It de- mands faith which is willing to be judged on the way 1t prepares men for life"
 When religion is able to meet these essential requirements of youth, the new generation will em- brace it, Dr. Glatssen declared. Ass4-'s

 The world should understand that we did not send troops temporarily to occupy the Rhine cities from pure lightness of heart Nor did we seek tho vain satisfaction of a military promenade. a promenade too easy to warrant being bragged about Surely no one imagines that after long war, in which France revealed her strength and courage before armed Germans, we would take any pleasure out of pa- rading before unarmed Germans.

 Consequently. If the most sacred
 righteousness of heaven and earth
 were in favor of the Paris repara-
 tion demands, these delVands could
 not be fulfilled.
 For this reason, is it sensible to try to force. by means of military and economical terror poverty-stricken nation, which has to buy American dol lars at fifteen times the pre-war rate, to sign promissory note to pay within AZ years 226,0o0,000,00 gold marks? According to today's exchange, this would amount almost to three trillion paper marks.
 If Germany should agree. the app

 money would not be forthcoming,
 and n people so long and firmly

 stances, and in spite of the wisest
 pacifist advice, such n people would

 MUST BE RESTITUTION
 Unprejudiced experts not blinded by hate, must calculate the losses of the conQuerors. which must be restituted. and also must estimate the productive power of the defeated
 Germanys workers and technical ex- perts must rebuild northern France, To diminish the distNust of our credi- tors and to adopt such mode of living as becomes poor people, Germany must tolerate this economic control. which naturally must not be carried out with arrogant presumption or in the man ner of the unspeakable Turk. Ger many also may take on an obligation to pay to her creditors 40 to 50 per cent for 30 years surplus exports over import returns.
 If. iAs addition to that, she proves by her disarmament and by her peaceful democratic poh-
 cie~ the world in the future has
 nothing to fear from her and for that reason nOnt of her neighbors need to carry the burden of war armaments, then she will have done everything possible toward the reparation of the material damages and the political wrongs of the war.
 In that event 1t will be France's stern duty to recognize that the flood which swept the earth from 1914 to 1919 caused suiferings alike to the just and the unjust.

according to Justice Brandes of the United States supreme court that the operator binds himself CD to employ only members of the union, (2) to negotiate with union officials instead of with the employees individually the scale of wages and the laws of work. (3) to treat with the duly constituted representatives of the union to settle disputes concerning the discharge of men and other controversies arising out of employment
 CONTRACTS ARE VALID
 The fact show that nearly all, if not all, the places which were abandoned by the strikers have been filled with non- union labor under signed individual contracts with each employe, which contract provides that the employe shall nst join the United Mine Work CTS of America during the period of his employment. and also sets up an industrial relation system for the ad- justment of all grievances. These contracts are valid and to find that companies should recognize the union would force them to violate such con- tracts.
 Much of the brief of the United Mine Workers of America is devoted to the right to organize and bargain collectively. This contention is rein forced by many quotations from the utterances of former President Will son and other eminent men. That men have q right to organize and bargain collectively is not disputed: that other meE have a right to bargain indivi- dually. is not disputed; that operators have right to bargain with their ems ployes individually or collectively can-
