Steady progress and expansionis
reported by the Home Banls of Cana-
da in its statement for the fiscal
year, ending May 31st;
'Under ndei' conservative Mid energetic
direction the 1-Iome 13an1t has, been
forging ahead and improving its
financial position.
Right along the 1Ylanagement has
carried out a number of thrift cam-
paigns and these have resulted in a
very considerable increase in the
number or savings accounts at the
various branches.
With its largor resources the
Hanle, in turn, has !leen able to
'handle,a larger iarncunt of general
business throughout the ceuntry,
One of the outstanding features
1f the report is the gain of almost
3,000,000 in total deposits, During
the 'Victory Loa11 Campaign the
Bank rent every assistance to Its'
customers and de»Osltors, with the_
result that there were withdrawals
by depositors for investment in Vic-
tory Bonds of close to $2,000,000.
I1' this campaign had not developed
the increase in .deposits for the
twelve months period would have
been close to $5,000,000.
The marked gains made by the
Borne Bank 'during the past few
years must be regarded as the'best
indication of the further strides it
is likely to make with its organiza-
tion strengthened in different parts
of the country.
The total assets have increased
almost $0,000,000 and now stand at
$20,075,730, compared with $20;745,-

WOMEN FIRST TO GREET KING,
War Workers Congratulated' Their
Majesties on Silver Wedrli e
Anniversary.
Three thousand women engaged in
war work, representing twenty-two or-
ganizations, presented King George
and Queen Mary with an address' on
June 29, expressing loyalty and extend-
ing congratulations,' upon the , silver
wedding_ anniversary' of the royal
couple, which was celebrated on July
6.- It was the first timeei ny British
ruler had 'received such a deputation
of women, There were no precedents,
therefore, ;to serve as a guide for mar-
shalling the parade and fol' the recep-
tion, •
Among the organizations represent-
, ed were those of the nurses, the muni-
tion :'workers, the workers onfarms
and those more actively connected
with the operations in the field. An
address was made by Mrs. F. H. Dur-
ham, chief woman inspector in the
Ministry of Labor, King George re-
plied with an address to the 'women.
The Tung spoke as follows:
"We are touched by the thought that
the first expression of loyalty and de-
votion on the- occasion of our silver
wedding should come froin this re-
presentati've body of women who, by
their services, have assisted the State
in the full 'mobilization oft its man-
power.
"In our visits to various centres we
hay.eehe d opportunities e£ seeing and
appreciating the great part which all
the women of ourrland are taking in
all the branches of war service, and
everywhere we have been filled with
admiration at their achievements, an.
admiration which we believe to he
shared by the whole nation. When the
history of the war is written, no chap-
ter will be moreremarkable than that
relating to this service. The range
and extent of the women's participa-
tion in this Service has been rendered
only at the cost of much self-sacrifice
and endurance.
"I trust this procession to -day will
bring home to those who have.not yet
realized it the country's -need of their
help. Sure in the hope that your la
bors soon may have their 'reward in
that •decisive victory and enduring
peace toward which we, .with all. our
brave allies, are ever striving, I wish
you god -speed. In that happy day it
will be your proud satisfaction to feel
that you have nobly shared in secur-
ing- these priceless results."

ECONOMIC SITUATION BRISTLES
WITH DIPRICULTIES,
Necessity of Increasing Imports Grows
'Steadily More and More
imperative..
Never''sinee the memorable war' be-
tween Englund and Norway 110 years
ago has the Norwegian nation been
confronted with a situation so full of
difficulties as the present one, says a
despatch from Christiania. Until the
United States entered the war the dif-
ficulties, although great, did not im-
press themselves so strongly on the
public mind as they do now, owing,to
the fact' that, even it other European
sou�rees of supply dried up, here was
still' something �tobe had from the
,United States.
When the United States finally
ranked herself on the side of the allies
the question gradually arose how Nor -
Way, dependent as she is on her ins•
ports for the most important°necessi-
ties,'would manage to get lee in the
long run under these altered condi-.,
tions,
It was obvious that au arrangement
ought .to be made, and in order to set-
tle the question a delegation to Wash-
ington was appointed under the lead- 1
ersip of Professor Neilsen. The pinch
of ,the . rationing system has now be-
gun to make itself felt, and , stricter
rules are officially announced Nor-
wegian trade and industry are handi-
capped for want o'£ regular supplies,
the coast traffic is disorganized and
Norwegian resources in general are
diminishing at an alarming rate.
Travelers fresh from Germany are
surprised at Norway's scanty rations
of bread, which they spy are even,
smaller than they are there. '
imports a National Necessity,
It is a matter of the highest.ampoie
tance to Norway to procure at the
earliest possible date as many im-
ports as possible. The supplyeaf food-
stuffs - and raw materials needed by
the population has,_from a statistical
point of view, been much misunder-
stood abroad. Owing to the fact that
several countries from which, in time
of peace, Norway was drawing rather
heavy imports, have been virtually
closed -for example, Russia and Prus-
sia as cereal exporting countries-
Norway has been bound to draw more
heavily on America and other oversea
countries.
This fact has been overlooked and
too willingly it has been believed in
the Allied countries that the greater
part of these imports were destined
for Germany. Nor has it been realized
either by the authorities or the general
public of the Allied countries that the
economic expansion of Norway during
the last few years has necessitated a
larger supply of raw materials.
The vast majority of Norwegians ex-
pect nothing from Germany. ` Her di4-
graceful submarine war, which during
the last year has inflicted upon us a
loss of -435 vessels, and 700 lives,
speaks volumes. it also is a public
secret that her` own means are very
scanty.
On the other hand, it is no, use to
deny that Norway is largely depend-•
ent on England, , while at the same
i time Norwegians feel entitled to say
I that in view of the services rendered
to England and her allies through the
courage and intrepidity of the Nor-
wegian seamen and the energetic
straightforwardness of the shipowners
they have 'a reasonable claim -upon
their gratitude.
Thinks England Ungrateful.
Norwegians regret\that this fact is
far less understood iu England than
it ought to be, and express the opinion
that this state of things not only im-
pairs Norwegian friendship for Eng-
land, --S but is detrimental to Brii;ish
commercial interests.
Through their cruel treatment of de-
fenceless Norwegian seamen, the Ger-
mans have gradually lost all sympathy
in this country. England's escutcheon
is untarnished, but Norwegians con-
sider it.,thei-r duty to telpher that the
treatment- to which they'N have often
been subjected by British ofnciale has
created a painful impression in this
country. Norwegians regard it as un-
reasonable that their authorities and
the Norwegian business_ community
should be measured by the standard
applied to Germans. When they

g
than the British to keep it, They do
not regard theiretreaties as "scraps
of paper," but as obligations. They ,
claim to be considered as gentlemen,
and are not willing to stand the pin-
pricks of suspicion.
Over and over again prominent men
of business have told me of their ex-
periences: They describe the sus-
picious attitude of the British authori-
ties as entirely unfounded, and say
that It would be ridiculous were it not
' so detr'imen'tal to important interests.
A leading' shipowner in conversation
with me said:
"If 'England had been less suspicious
toward us we should have had con-
siderably more supplies it this ceutl'
try et the present time, and England
