The Grand Trunk directors have decided, in view of the great increase In working expenses owingto condi- tions brought on by the war, that it is impossible to declare any interna dividends on the four per cent. guar- anteed and preference stocks. .4 year ago both the guaranteed and first pre- ference stockholders received full rates for the half year, though in the preced- ing year only the guaranteed stock- holders got a dividend, the amount be- ing 1% instead of the usual 2%. Last year the company made a substantial recovery, its surplus being increased by nearly £30,000, which enabled the second preference, as well as the guar- anteed and first preference stockhold- ers to receive their full yearly- rates. The working expense ratio was lower, the proportion to receipts declining from 76.05% to 71.36%. But this year the great rise in the prices of all materials and higher wages have com- pletely altered the financialassetof the company's affairs, The August traf• fie returns show that although gross receipts were higher on all lines, the net receipts were lower. On the Grand Trunk itself the aggregate gross increase is 9831,759, but this has been more than swallowed up by the in- crease in expenses, for the net earn- ings show a decrease of £247,700. The gross receipts on all lines down were£860,000 to he end of August t larger, yetthe net earnings show a ge,g decrease of no less than 9643,000.

The Chief Pos office Superintendent erintendent t has issued the following statement; "Parcels addressed to members of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces overseas should bear the name and address of a second address to whom the parcel may be delivered or for- warded if it shouldrov impossible to deliver to tate first, the original address to be Written on the front of the parcel where postage stamps and declaration as to contents are affixed, and tate second or alternative address on the back of tate parcel. "If a second address is not fur- nished at the time of posting and de- livery cannot be effected, the con- tents of the parcel, unless of excep- tional value 0r of a persaual nature, tt'ili be turned over to the military authorities for distribution, "Parcels containing articles of a personal nature or special value will be returned, if a request for their re- turn in case of none -delivery is made by 'tire sender, such request to be written on the cover of the parcel at the time of posting, "This pias is .being adopted at the suggestion of the British Postoslice which states that the present pro- cedure of holding undeliverable p ar - cels at the Dead Letter 0fllee until Instructions etre received as to their dlspastil la tOulttii lh the mist.. of ate a large quantity 05 perishable food- stuffs, which form the cOntents of 90 per cent, of parcels addressed to sold- diers,"' ANOTHER YEAR OF WAR THINKS Mr, Stewart T. Lyon, Canadian cor- respondent at the front during the last year, and managing editor of the Globe, returned to Toronto 0n Monday. In an interview he touched on conditions at the front with special reference to the morale of the Canadian soldiers. He also referred to the Italian reverses and the Russian collapse and their re- lations to the final decision of the war, Mr. Lyon thinks that the sten of the first contingent should be allowed to return home, for various reasons, and stated that an agitation to this end Is active among the battalions that may bring the first men house in the near future` His praise of the Canadian soldier is unstinted, The corps gener- ally, be says, is in a state of high effi- ciency. ''Phe people of Canada may rest assured that whatever tasks lie be- fore it will be performed with thoro- ughness, and the utmost self sacrifice." The final decision of the war will not be in the east, he says, but in the west. It may take a year longer, but the combined strength of Britain, the overseas dominions, and the United States must prevail. "When 1 left," said Mr, Lyon, "quite a number of people who belonged to the original first division were asking for leave to return to Canada, and'the men of the corps generally were in sympathy with the proposal. It was low as 50 out of a battalion of 1,050, It 15 probable that two ordinary trans- ports Would carry all the men of the original first now remaining in France.' "Of course not all of these first men are in the fighting line. A considerable number are in administrative positions. They could not be all spared at once. But there is not any reason why even these should not be relieved in order of rotation. How Canadians are Appreciated. "As for the corps generally," said Mr. Lyon, "it is in a high state of ef- ficiency. The people of Canada may rest assured that whatever tasks lie before it will be performed with thor- oughness, and the utmost self-sacri- fice. The removal of ,the Canadians to the Ypres front during the past week is evidence of the appreciation by the higher commands of the sol - felt that much danger to family life had resulted from the long severance of domestic relations. in some cases men had babies old enough to talk and to send their love whom the fath- ers had never seen. Then some men had married just before leaving, pos- sibly on acquaintance of only a few .months. They went to France and left a young wife behind. The young couples had become almost strangers. "The matter would not amount to much," said Mr. Lyons, "in the way of transportation. Inquiries had been made among the various battalions before I left the front, and it was found that•the battalion with the great- est number of original first men had only 110; little more than 10 per cent of the present membership of the bat- talion. Some of the other number as dierly qualities of the Canadians. "Canadian sport, too, has done much to make our men efficient sol- diers. No German can hope to emu- late as a bomber the crack pitcher of the Canadian baseball team," • Car Load of Potatoes Wanted Apply to Alf.

Increased Effectiveness of Artillery. "hs northern France and Flanders and there alone the sinal decision will be reached, and i have talked with no well-informed student of war on the western front who regards the issue there as in any way in doubt, It may take a year longer, but the combined strength of Britain, the overseas Dom- inions and the United States must pre- vail." During the winter and the early spring should operations he suspend- ed because of the condition of the veather, the British armywill make steady proress in sweeping the enetny back from the Belgian seaboard, "11 is only when one sees the tre- mendous effect of artillery long- range fire that one appreciates the greatness of the menace to Britain in the German occupation of the coast and of the further advance toward the straits of Dover. Recently an im- portant French town was heavily shell- ed front a range, said by our artillery expert to be 26 miles. A new high vel- ocity gun brought into use by the Ger- mans recently is said to have effective range at 52,000 yards. A battery of these guns of either of these calibres and ranges mounted on the French coast near Calais would have absolutely stopped the navigation of the Straits of Dover and rendered the Kentish country untenable by the civil pop- ulation, The amazing improvement of artillery makes it more than neces- sary that Germany shall not be Britain's neighbor across the straits," of a toes Wanted Will load a carof 1 0 Pota- toes in the near future, For particulars apply to W.
