BANK OF MONTREAL
NINETY - EIGHTH ANNUAL RE-
PORT SHOWS BANK IN VERY
STRONG POSITION.
Exceptional interest attaches this
year to the Annual Report of "Canada's
leading Bank, and the addresses deli-
vered at the Annual Meeting by the
President and General Manager. They
afford an insight into • the financial
consequences of a year of war on the
country generally, and into the taut -
look for the future, as interpreted by
men who have every opportunity to
judge it.
Mr. H. V, Meredith, the President,
pointed out that the effect Qf the war
on Canadian trade had been less in-
jurious than had been expected, and
Mr. H. V. Meredith
that this year's bountiful harvest may
not only be expected to stimulate cur-
rent, trade; but to attract renewed
emigration to Canada.
The Annual Report shows the Bank
of Montreal in a position of unprece-
dented strength. With assets of
$302,980,554—an increase for the
year of $38,800,138—it takes rank
with the most howerful banking insti-
tutions in the world. Of this enor-
mous sum, no less than $170,007,568
° is in cash and liquidassets. This is
over 64 per cent. of the Bank's total
public liabilities—a ratio whose sig-
nificance will be better understood
when it is compared with 55.4 per
cent. last year, and a little less than
50 per cent. (considered a high pro-
portion in normal times) in 1913.
While holding so large a proportion
of the Bank's assets in liquid form
does not tend to large profits, it is a
source of .great strength not only to
the Bank, but to the whole of Canada,
in these trying and difficult times.
The profits for the year, however,
were most gratifying. Amounting to
$2,108,631, they provided for the
usual quarterly dividend and two
1% bonuses on the Capital of $16,-
000,000; the War Tax on Bank Note
Circulation, $127,347; and left over
$60,000 to be added to the Profit and
Loss Account, bringing the balance of
the latter up to $1,293,952. This, of
course, is in addition to the Rest
Account of $16,000,000—equal to the
Capital.
Owing to the reduced volume of
commercial business in the country,
the current, loans drepped from $108,-
845,332 in 1914 to $99,078,506. Loans
. to municipalities, on the other hand,
slimy an increase of over two mil-
lions, reaching the figure of $11,203,-
472.
One of the most striking and im-
portant features of the Report is the
remarkable increase in Deposits.
Those bearing no interest have in-
creased during the year from $42,-
689,031 to $75,745,729, while interest-
bearing deposits have grown to $160,-
277,083—a total increase of $39,800,-
138. Thopgh this is partly accounted
for by special transactions, it must
be regarded .as highly satisfactory
and an espeatal mark of public confi-
dence.
In reviewing the year, the President
laid special stress on the record har-
vest in the Wost, where a greatly
increased area under cultivation has
given the highest average yield in
the history of the country. The esti-
mated value of the grain crop of
Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan
he placed at four hundred million dol-
lars—a sum which could be depended
upon to liquidate much indebtedness
and stimulate current trade.
Referring to the remarkable change
• in Canada's position from a debtor to
a creditor nation, Mr. Meredith said:
"In the seven months ending Octo-
ber 31st, 1913, the value of exports
Of Canadian products was $245,550,-
000, and in the same period of 1914
wee 8226,757,000; while this year in
these seven months we have exported
Canadian products of the value of
8326,430,000, or $100,000,000 more
than last year, and the great crop
surplus has still to go forward.
"Comparing the foreign trade of
Canada for the seven -months' period
ending with October, imports have
declined from $390,544,000 in 1913 to
$253,107,000 in 1915, while exports of
domestic products, as I have said,
have risen from $245,550,000 to $325,-
430,000; and adverse balance of $145,-
000,000 being converted into a favor-
able balance of $73,323,000,' or ii.bet-
terment in respect of foreign trade of
no less than 8213,000,000 within the
short space of two years."
Taking a prudently optimistic view
of the future, hir. Meredith said:
"The position of Canada is a highly
favored one, with an assured future
of growth, development and general
Prosperity. At present, however, we
live in the shadow of the great war,
te which all else must be subservient.
What its elevatioa will bc, and the
position in Which its termination will
find us, can be reattee of the merest
conjecture. The vast armies now
cn-
gaged in the struggle cannot be kept
in the field imlefinitely. The financial
factor is daily assuming increased
iMportence, and in this respect the
advantage , is unqueetionably with
Great Britain and her •Allies.
"After the war, a readjustment of
trade conditions M' to be expected'.
'The flood of wealth which has attend-
ed the export .01 munitions and war
supplies must of necessity be largely
curtailed, and a new set of problems
will have to be faced. As I have said
on former occasions when I have had
the pleasure of addreseing you, if
economy be exercised. to meet the in-
creased burden of taxation, of which
vie must bear our share, and the Pro-
duction of exportable articles in-
creased to the utmost extent,, to pro-
tect our gold supply and Minimize our
borrowings, and if we keep strong in
working capital, then no matter what
diffieulties the future .may have in
store for us, we can look forward to
them with a degree of complacency.
Our ,ageicultural resources and unde-
veloped wealth will enable us to bear
the strain which may be imposed upon
us, and we shall in the end come safe -
through the Period of economic
upheaval and world-wide conflict—.
with a largei debt, it is true, but
with our ability t� meet it unques-
tioned and our economic position not
seriously Unpaired."
THE AGY TREE.
Mr. James Sibree -Tells of the Result
of Contact With It.
.Among the many peculiar and dis-
concerting plants and creatures that
abound in Madagascar, probably none
is more surprising and disconcerting
than the ny tree, so-called, which is
not a tree, but a climbing plant. The
following incident, quoted by Mr.
Smiles Sibree, F.R.G.S., in "A Natural-
ist in Madagascar," illustrates the
painful result of contact with the agy.
The story is told by a Mr. Montgom-
ery:
Walking under some trees arid
pushing aside the reeds and grass, I'
was startled by a sudden tingling
and pricking sensation over the backs
of my 'hands and fingers. I stopped
in sudden surprise, for the pain was
severe, anc1.1 had touched nothing ex-
cept the grass. But in another minute
the pain increased, the tingling, burn-
ing sensation, eeerned to be extending
rapidly up my wrists, and I could see
nothing to cause it. As I lowered my
head to look, scalding pain shot into
my ears and neck, and grew worse
every instant. Dazed and bewildered,
I stood a few seconds in helplessness,
tor I could neither see nor guess at
the cause of the terrible distress.
Then I got back to my company with
agony written plain enough on every
line of my face.
The men started up when they saw
me, crying out, "You have been stung
by the agyl" Some of them led me
to a seat, others rushed for water
from the river, and two or three
brought sand heaped tip in their
hands. Then they chafed me with the
sand and water to take out the sting-
ing hairs, which they knew caused the
mischief. As they rubbed me, I felt
the pain abate, and after they had
chafed me for about a quarter of an
hour I was comparatively free from
pain. While the men were rubbing
me, I was able to discern to some ex-
tent the cause of my distress. Count-
less hairs, like tiny arrows, almost
transparent, pointed at either end,
and from a third to a fourth of an
inch long, had dropped on me in an
invisible shower from the agy tree as
I stood under it. Before I came away
that afternoon, very cautiously I ven-
tured to examine the tree at a little
distance, and found that the tiny
hairs grew outside a thickish pod or
shell, not quite so large as a small
banana. The pods were fully ripe
(unluckily for me) just at that time,
and the light wind was scattering
their coverings.
A GENTLE LAXATIVE

Baby's own Tablets are a gentle
laxative. They are absolutelysafe
and so pleasant in action, that once
the mother has used them for her
little ones, sbe will never again resort
to that harsh, ill -smelling, bad -tasting
castor oil, which baby always fought
against taking. Baby will take the
Tablets with a smile, and thousands
of. mothers tell us their little ones
will coax for them. They are sold by

MILITARY MOUNTAINEERS.
Fine Feats By the Alpine Troops 'Of
France aid Italy.
Some of the moet picturesque sol-
diers who are fighting in the great
War are the Alpine troops. of France
and Italy. They have already seen
much useful service in the Vosges
and the Gamic Alps, and if another
Winter campaign is fought, they are
likely to be called upon for still more
difficult and important fighting,
The numbers of the French elias-
sears alpins on war footing have not
been revealed by the authorities. In
times of pence there are thirty betel -
lions of chasseurs a pied, stationed
for the most part in the mountainous
country that forms the eastern fron-
tier of France.' Their training among
the high peaks has made them as
familiar with ski and rope as with
the rifle.
Theirs is a life of continual risk.
Occasionally a whole corps has been
overtaken by avalanche and swept
away. In 1901, says a Writer in the
London Field, there were two such
accidents within a very short time'.
In one case the fourth company of the
18th Alpine Regiment, which is
usually stationed at Charnbery, appar-
ently brought an avalanche down
upon itself by the vibration that ite
marching caused. It was some time
before help arrived in sufficient
strength to dig out the men, and
when they were rescued, it was found
that thirty were more or less injured,
and that of the thirty, twelve were
suffering from frostbitten feet.
In the other case, a detachment of
the 97th Regiment WaS On its way to
revictual the mountain post on the
Col de Frejus (8,200 feet), on the
Italian frontier, above the Mont Canis
tunnel, when an avalanche swept
down, burying a sergeant and ten
men, of whom only five made good
their escape. They were roped to-
gether, but in two groups, and when
the muss qf snow and ice struck
them, both parties were swept along,
the one to death, and the other down
the mountain side until a telegraph
post intercepted the rope and saved
their lives. .
On the other side of the frontier
the l3ersaglieri of the Italian army
have just as trying a time in winter.
There is apparently nothing in con-
nection with mountaineering that the
Italian Alpine chasseurs are not pre-
pared to undertake. Some years ago,
Professor Mosso, being desirous of
conducting certain experiments to
show the effect. of high altitude on
the human constitution, invoked the
aid of the Italian Government, and in
duo ccnrse a detachment of chasseurs
under his orders were'led to the sum-
mit of Monte Rosa, and there set to
do gymnastic exercises. In the sum-
mer of 1905 forty chasseurs of the
Italian army reached the summit of
Mont Blanc, and were there drilled by
their officers.
Another fin feat of mountaineer-
ing was credited to the Italian mili-
tary mountaineers hi 1904, when, in
order to descend to La Thuile, the
first town beyond the Pass Of the
Little St. Bernard, a whole battalion
ofAlpinetroops, engaged in manoeu-
vres in the High"Piedmont, marched
over the highest glacier in the Italian
. Alps; namely, that of Rutor, The six
hundred men who formed the battal-
ion carried their full army kit and
were roped together, with the officers
in the lead. The journey that began
ajj Valgrisanche'about live thousand
feet, and included the Glacier de
Rutor, 1.0,800 feet, occupied sixteen
hours, and was accomplished amidst
intense cold and snow. The feat par-
ticularly excited the admiration of
the Frenth troops, Who were exercis-
ing on the other side of the frontier,
ssnb who were in an excellent position
to judge of the difficulties that were
encountered en route.

The need of delicate yet nut -Mims
food is never felt so keenly as when a
convalescent gets a set battle on ac-
count of weak stomach. Then is when
Grapc-Nuts shows its power, for it is
a most scientific and easily digested
food.

ern woman, "my little Six-year-old
niece moved to a new home. She

be just the thing.,
"She seemed to relish it, was soon

WIRELESS STATIONS.
Fourteen Worde Saved the German
Fleet.
We have a saying that hpeeeh is
silvern, but silence is golden, There
is now an exception to the rifle. Some
years ago it was proposed to establish
a chain of British wireless stations
round the world, but it was aot done,
The Germans dkl, and the result is in-
terestihg.
Seeing that Germany spent two mil-
lions on her colonial wireless stations,
most of which have been seized or de-
stroyed, her money might appear to
have been ill -spent. But was it?
Great Britain declared war on Ger-
many at midnight on August 4, 1914.
Seven hours earlier, at five o'clock in
the afternoon, Germany sent out a
message to all its wireless stations.
Each station had a radius of 2,000
miles, and each in turn flung this mes-
sage forth to German ships out at
sea, "War declared on England. Make
as quickly as you can for a neutral
port."
Only fourteen words, and fewer
still in code, but it was enough .to
save Germany the bulk of her mer-
chant fleet. The ships saved were an
enormous number.
Giant German liners crowd Amer',
can porte, and other ships dot the har-
bors of every neutral coast. There
they are safe till the end of the war.

THE BRITISH SOLDIERS.
A German Officer Says They Fight to
the Last.
The greatest admiration for the
British is expressed. A German of-
ficer remarked that his men would
rather meet any company of men than
British, because the latter keep cool,
never lose their heads, never give in,
and fight to the last. Men of 50
have been called up for the German
army, and the next call will be for
boys of 16. No language but Ger-
Man is allowed in the streets. Ainmi-
cans are not permitted to speak their
own tongue, under the penalty of

raw materials. Rubber has been
smuggled Min the form of sausages.
The scarcity is so great that no pri-
vate individual in Berlin is allowed to
use his automobile except a doctor.
Rubber floors have been taken up, and
every scrap in any shape or form has
been used.

World-Wide Popularity of Tea.
"In the tea trade there is much talk
of enormous increases in the drinking
of tea everywhere since the war be-
gan. Russia, already a large consum-
er of tea, is eeking more and more to
the beverage now that vodka is ban-
ned. In France tea is beginning to
threaten the supremacy of coffee. The
greater demand means higher prima

The Common Dandelion Orders Its
Daily Life Systematically.
Anybody who has flowers enough
and a sufficient knowledge of them
need never be at a loss to ascertain
approximately the correct time, for
there are any number of blossoms
that•open and shut at regular hours.
A practical botanist has made a list
of a few of them and says that as far
as he is concerned he is willing to
order his time according to it.
The dandelion opens for the day's
work about 5.30 a.m. and closes at
8,30 p.m., being e model of deport-
ment, indeed. To be sure, there are
other plants that get busy earlier, but
they observe shorter hours. In, the
temperate regions, the plant that
wakes up first is the dainty, satin -
petaled inorning-glory. It starts to
disclose its tints at 2 a.m., and' with
the increased strength of the mornino
light continues to open, but when the
sun becomes hot the tubes begin to
close, and at 10 a.m, they are through
Lan the day.
The Rutland Beauty is an hour
glass. It opens its eyes at '3 o'clock
in the morning and eloses.them at 11.
Rutland Beauty sounds like a new
kind of apple or potato, but it is a
twining, trailing flower that gTows
both wild and under cultivation. The
blossom is white or light rose-colored
and the leaves are triangular or arrow
shaped. Any industrious person who
likes to tell the tine at 4 a.m. can do'
SO by the oyster plant. It wakes up
then, but finishes its day at noon and
goes to sleep again. Those who do
not recognize the oyster plant, either
by that name or by its botanical name
of Tragopogon porrifollum, will al-
ways know what you mean if you call
it goats' beard.
The poppy, scarlet and gorgeous,
opens its petals at 5 a.m., but has 110
vegular hour for closing time. Bitter-
sweet can be relied upon to collie to
life about 6 a.m., thus preceding the
water Lily by an hour. The water lily
is leisurely about preparing for the
day, but she has usually mado her
toilet and is smiling at the sun by 7
a.m. Eight o'clock in the morning is
announced by the. scarlet pimpernel.
This plant, however, is less reliable as
a clock than as a barometer. It is so
dependable in the latter respect that
it is conunonly called the poor man's
weather glass, but its extreme sensi-
tiveness to darkness will keep it frdm
telling the time on 'a cloudy day.

approximately $10,000,000,000, which
