Father Chrustawka, priest of the Greek Orthodox church here, gave a vig- orous address, protesting against the Soviet attitude towards rell- gion and morality. The Bolshe- vists were killing religion in Rus- sia, shooting the ministers, and seizing the churches. Moral con- ditions were terrible, and the church, the one agency that could lead the people into more moral living, was beinz crushed out of existence. "It is quite right to stand up for the working men, but there is no need to support men who: work against God and reli- fon," he declared. Rev. Luke Standret, minister of the Presbyterian mission to the Ukrainians here, declared that the Soviet agents were interfering with the right of individuals to have their own thought and religion. The Bolshevists were forcing the people of Ukraine against their will to follow the Soviet athiestic beliefs.

Legion Head Urges Change Had Veterans' Pensions Under Consideration (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, March:3.--The need for a change in the system of official sol- diers' advisors, as expressed by Gen. eral A. E. Ross of Kingston, during the debate in the House of Commons on pensions for war veterans, was admitted today by Lt.-Col. L. R. La- fleche, Dominion Presifnt of the Canadian Legion of the British Em- pire Service League, who have had this matter under consideration for some considerable time, and have prepared a recommendation to be sub mitted to parliament for a complete change in the method of organiza- tion, administration, discipline and control of these officials. The Canadian: Legion's recommen- dations, in effect are that, - since these soldiers' advisors are appoint- ed to give service 10 war veterans making appeals against the decisions of the pension board, they should be removed entirely from departmental control, and should be placed under the jurisdiction and control of the dominion executive council of the Canadian Legion. In this way, the preparation and presentation of the claims of war veterans would be in the hands of the one big soldier body of the Dominion of Canada, which is pledged to do its utmost for hte securing of justice tor war vet- erans, The chief faults to be found with the present system, Legion officials stated today, is that control of the soldier advisors by the Department of Pensions and National Health, tends to create suspicion in the minds of veterans that they are act- ing in the interests of the depart- ment, rather than in the interests of the veterans, Legion officials also claim it tends to create a lack of uniformity, since the advisors in the various provinces have no channel of contract.

T. CHAMPION Canadian Press Correspondent London, Mar. 3.--Two bishops of the Church of England, while complying with the Archbishop of York's request that special refer- ences sould be made to the alleg- ed, persecution of Christians in Russia, stress the danger of arous- ing nationalistic feelings. Rt. Rev. H. H, Hensonn, Bishop of Durham, on his own account vesterday uttered an admonition. "The Prime Minister has given warning that we mie too easily injure, by agitation in England, those whom we desire to help in Russia," he pointed out. "There is undoubtedly a need for such a warning. We must be on guard, especially the clergy, against using language which would suggest in any way a confu- sion between politics and religion. Nevertheless, while there may be considerable doubt as to the par- ticular allegations of persecution and violence, there seems to me no reasonable doubt possible as to the main facts."
