Judicious Mixing. American war cargoes are more various than any known in the history of modern shipping. They do not trust all their eggs in one basket nowadays. They send mixed' cargoes —locomotives' wheels, and tinned beans, ammunition wagons and type- writers and cigarettes all in the same boat. Similar cargoes in the next boats. If the enemy gets one, the others bring a supply that keeps the engineers going. America needs men to build and to fight, and machinery releases men. That is why the American railway en- gineers are doing so much construc- tion, because it means speed, certain- ty ofsupply, and release of men. Every hour's labor put in now means many times that ntunber of hours sav- ed later on, • BIGGEST FACTOR IN WARFARE IS TRANSPORTATION. A Vast 'Work is Being Accomplished by American Engineers in France. The ,American railroad engineers in Prance are doing a year's work in four months. One of the ways they are going about it is by working day and night, says a London weekly. The handicaps and difficulties are innu- merable. They are 8,000 miles away from home, their supply base, to be- gin with. Uncle Sant on the job. They are building everything connected with transportation and supply, from docks for ships to the smallest kind of re- ceiving station on a siding close to the Front. Their railroad men have done everything—carpentry and quar- ry work, warehouse building and con- crete mixing; they have broken stones on the roadway, and they have put to- gether Locomotives; they have handled structural steel cranes. They are laying lines in vital places, building terminals and railroad yards—some bigger than any In the world in area, MERCHANTS BANK Adds Nearly Twenty Millions to its Assets.

The interest-bearing deposits of the Merchants Bank are now $75,946,986, an increase of eleven million dollars, the non-interest-bear- ing deposits are $34,886,747, an in- crease of seven and three-quarter mil- lions, and the note circulation is $12,327,168, an increase of three mil- lions. Of chief interest among the assets is the item of Current Loans and Dis- counts in Canada, representing the assistance given by this Batik to the activities of trade and industry. This amounts to $76,194,016, an increase for the year of nearly thirteen and a half million dollars, showing that the Merchants Bank is making a full use of the facilities afforded by its ex- panding deposit accounts, to meet the requirements of commercial clients, which have been greatly increased by the rise in market price of all classes of commodities. Notwithstanding this generous sup- port of Canadian business, the Bank still maintains a strong reserve of liquid assets. These now total $57,667,481, against public liabilities of $126,822,671, or a ratio of 45.6 per cent. and they include about thirty- four millions in the form of cash, bank balances and call loans, imme- diately available if required, and $5,485,464 of Dominion and Provincial Government securities, $14,589,065 of Canadian municipal and non -Cana- dian public securities (this item be- ing composed largely of British Gov- ernment borrowings) and $4,060,20'4 of other securities. Profits for the year, at $1,236,680, showed an advance, attributable doubtless to the greater volume of commercial business. But they were subject to a deduction of $400,000 for contingencies, while, war taxes and pension fund took another. $120,000, so that the net result after payment r cause the French railroads are good, i capable of bearing all the traffic, but woman knows that lemon juice is used tion will keep fresh for months.

The four problems in transportation the United States must meet are: (1) Truck shortage in France.! (2) Lack of terminal facilities in France. (8) Tonnage—ships. (4) Truck shortage in America. It is a general, but none the less mistaken, view that ship tonnage is the greatest necessity for the support of the .American Army to -day. But first there must be places to house the tonnage, and trucks to move it and the terminals. Without these it would be useless for America to send well-filled ships to France in great numbers.

At the annual meeting the Vice - President, Mr. K. W.

Tho interest of this class must be defended against unwise and wanton action, or the whole financial fabric would be broken clown. Mr. D. C.

At a factory at Walthamstow the Queen, as ever, was chiefly interest- ed in the girl and women workers, among whom she mingled with her usual cheery smile, chatting most of the time—when not passing a few words with the girls—with Mrs. Phipps, the organizer.
