Have Not Returned to Their Base, Declares,. Alfred
Noyes, the English 'oet.
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.

ONTARIO TD AID
• ...BRITAIN IN VAS,
The 'Government Will Worm
67;000,000 to -Retire Bonds
Held in England. `
A. despatch from Toronto says:
The British Government has appealed
for financial assistance from the'
Province of , Ontario; , and in respond-
ins to that appeal the Ontario Legis-
lature this session will pass legisla
tion authorizing the Government to
borrow $17,000,000 to retire Ontario
Government bonds now held in Eng-
land. 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."
