A. despatch from New York says:---, England's anti-submarine fleet con- sists of 4,000 private yachts, whalers and fishing vessels, manned by 60,000 men, and this force already has de- stroyed 200 German submarines, Alfred Noyes, the English poet, as- serted hi a statement here Wednes- day night. "Every boat is armed with guns throwing 12 or 14 pound explosive shells, and has 1,000 yards of steel netting trailing behind," he declared, "All the home waters are mapped out in blocks and each block patrolled, "Imagine (30 trawlers stretching a steel undersea net from the English to the Irish coast and you get some idea of the British A.dlniralty' anti- submarine campaign, by which the German submersibles have been driv- en from home waters and forced to at- tack neutral vessels on the high sees," Mr. Noyes said he had spent many days with the trawlers, and was in- formed by their captains that a sub- marine rarely will attack an armed vessel. What becomes of a sub marine after it strikes a trawler's net,. the poet said, is a naval secret. "Solne have been captured and tak- en to England, but most of them sink," he added. It is impossible to save the crews. What is done to them when they hit the net I am forbidden to say."

ANOTHER RECORD SET. Sun Life of .Canada Makes Splendid Showing. To hold first place amongst Can- adian life insurance companies in amount of insurance in force, assets, surplus and income is the distinction of the Sun Life 'of Canada. New business to the amount of over $42,- 700,000 was written during the last year, bringing the assurance in force up to a total of over $281,000,000, which amount is three times as large as that in force twelve years ago. It is to be noted that assets now total practically $83,000,000, an in- crease of over $8,600,000 for the year. The net surplus over liabilities and capital also show an increase for the year of close on $1,000,000. $7,578,000 were paid to policy holders during the twelve months period just closed. Further details of this company's business for the past year will , be found elsewhere in this issue. 750,000 PRISONERS AS I^AR;YI_LABORERS A despatch from Amsterdam says: -Germany is employing 750,000 war prisoners as farm laborers, according to a Berlin despatch to the Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung,' Iyhich quotes General Greener, head of the Army Feeding Department.

The announeeinent was made. by Hon. T. W. McGarry in the Legis lature during the course of his bud- get statement on Thursday. "Probably never before has the Pro vines, been: faced With a more serious. question, financially; than We are fat ing now. I am not referring now to our receipts or. expenditures, I am referring to a matter that concerns the whole British Empire. From th'e day the war began the British Em- pire has been endeavoring to build up and finance the other nations "fighting with her. She has been financing the, war and financing it successfully, but the strain on Great Britain has been tremendous, and she Ilas been forced to ask the .people to deliver 'up their. securities. ; "Great Britain has been obliged to ; ask her colonies to contribute toward the success of this great war, The Province has in the hands of inves- tors in Great Britain $1?,000,000 of our stock. That stock went to Great Britain several years ago, when we required money to built the T. and N. 0.; it extends over a long period, 35 or 40 years, some .of it as long as 48 years. Great Britain is desirous of building up on this side of the Atlantic a reserve from which she can draw in order to provide munitions and sup- plies and other necessaries to carry on the war on this side. Great Britain, has asked the. Province of Ontario, among. others, to come to her aid and take charge of these securities and re - !sell then, and to the extent of our financial ability help in this war. Are we going to do it? Is' not the answer of every patriotic pian, Yes, we 'will Make this sacrifice?` If we as'e' to Make, that sacrifice then the carrying of that $17,000,000 becomes a first charge upon the resources of this province. It becomes a first charge this year and it becomes necessary. I that those who desire large expendi- tures on the part of the Government should wait until the end of the war. I want the members to realize the ab., solute necessity of our continuing to build up the financial condition of the province in order that investors on this sidle of the Atlantic may give us the right to say to Great Britainthat. we can advance the seventeen million.: Ij ' "During the session I hope to bring, I down in the House a bill to enable us to purchase all these securities we have in England and rehorrow money on this s:cle of the water. and endeavor to that extent to help Great Britain in this war." gnM C E ARE DANGEROUS VOCTOE.S NOW ADVISE MAGNBSIA just how dangerous it is to indiscrim- inately dose the stomach with drugs and , medicines is often not realized until too I late.
