Our new biology is giving us Wis
ions of living life here for greatly
extended period" Mr. Rees said Mon
day afternoon.
Modern biology is a new preacher
asking the great questions, Why do
people grow old?' and Why do people
die?' Diseases are not inherited ex-
cept in one or two particulars where
the germ enters the life in the repro
ductive process and only the flame of
life passes on"
Old Age Unnatural.

Rees. shows no natural old age This
affection is caused on the outside and
its source is always incident to some
restriction of the vital processes such
as nutrition. Organisms live on for
ever and do not die. This brings the

organisms of the human body become
disorganized and cause sickness, dis
ease and DEATH
Mr.. Rees mentioned the experiment
of DR.. Carrel, of New York, who cut
out certain organisms OF a chicken
which placed under proper environ
ment and provided with adequate nu-
triton, lived for years.
"Old age comes from the cessation
of nutrition and death, biologically
speaking, is the breakdown of nutri-
tion in the highly developed organisms
of the human body" said Mr.. Rees.
"Old age is, therefore. caused by the
increasing differentiation in the proto-
plasm. Man pays for his highly de-
veloped organisms by their exceeding
susceptibility to breakdown"
France in Conflicts.
LlS program OF lQLeTnd-
tional intrigues which France has in
stituted since the close of the World
war Mr. Rees spoke before the first
session of the Wayne county teachers
institute held at the chautauqua Mon
day morning His subject for the
morning was France and her pol
icies
AT the present time" said Mr..
Rees, France is the party to four
conflicts in Europe. France is en-
gaged in conflict on the armament
question; France is against English
policies in the near east; France is
against Germany and is against Rus
sia."
He stated that since the war there
had been much shedding of ink" both
by the public press and the diplomats
of Europe, who have been signing
treaties secret and otherwise.
France. in her intriguing policies
is. responsible for the major portion OF
the warfare now going on in Europe
Her aversion to disarmament already
has caused mistrust on the part OF
America and until her policies are
changed, America will do we'll not tc
form any alliance with France the
speaker declared.
Wants Europe Divided.
France wants minute division oi
Europe so that she can make treaties
with them and through these agree
ments dominate and control their com
mercial and natural resources. This
she proposes to do under the guise oi
protection with armed force, and thai
is why she is opposed to disarma
ment," said Mr.. Rees. Her refusa
TO sign disarmament treaties with Ger
many and Russia has brought on the
Russo-G German alliance and this ALI
ance has been broadcasted to the civ
iIized world as detrimental to worlC
peace.
"France fought a decrease in tn
submarine program at the Washing
ton conference in order that she nigh
maintain her connection with he
African troops, which could be trans
ported to Europe in case of war. /
is merely a new kind of African slaV
cry" the speaker declared.
France Likes to Fight
"France likes to fight" he contir
