Ac ieve *s.$ during 1918 IHE year 1918 was for the business of life assurance a year of suptame achievement. Owing to the combined effect of the war and the influenza epidemic, death claims were unusually high. The payment of these claims enabled the Companies to render an unprecedented measure of public service, and to fulfill to a more noteworthy degree than ever previously the beneficent purpose for which they were founded. The record achieved during 1918 by the Sun Life of Canada was one of particularly striking success. For the first time in the Company's history new assurances paid for exceeded Fifty Million Dollars, The growth in size, strength and prosperity accentuates the Company's position as not merely the leader among Canadian Life offices, but one of the great insurance corporations of the world. The Company's financial .power is emphasized by its large Assets, Income and Surplus. During the year $7,460,000 was The Income is now $21,651,000, hilehich at December the undivided Surplus the huge total of $97,620,000. is $8,027 000 THE RESULTS FOR 1918 ASSETS Assets as at 31st December, 1918 • - - - • Iucrease over 1917 INCO1'IB Cash Income from Premiums, Interest, Rents, etc., in 1918 - Increase over 1917 PROFITS PAID OR ALLOTTED Profits Paid or Allotted to Policyholders in 1918 - - - ® $97,620,378.85 7,400,2204.61 21,651,099,69 2,362,IO2.01 • 1,540,607.16 SURPLUS Total Surplus 31st December, 1918, over all liabilities and capital f According to the Company's Standard which is more severe than that laid doavn by the Insurance Act.)

MACAULAY, President 4 1 sig c� lvNai.. 1918 French War Doga Were Often Men* tioned in Despatcher. In the French military kenhiels you. will kind dogs from "every walk in life," of every size and of all colors and all breeds. They are 1 -Ice little fellows, these canine poilus, says a writer, as peace lc}vii g and as care- free as their master comrades in arms. The terrifying fuss they make when you approach their kennel is nothing more than an invitation to pet them. That had to be explained to me the first time I visited a cantonment, for as I was led to where some forty were chained the racket with which they greeted me nhacle me doubt their in- tentions. Now I understand their French better. During the trench warfare, when the Igen were living in dirt and,filtli much of the time, rats not only en- dangered their health but also des- troyed their stores. Nearly every company had its rat catcher—a clog that was an expert in dispatching the troublesome rodents: and then, of course, there were the Red Cross clogs that could find wounded men, ' trot back with some article of clothing, and guide help to the disabled soldier. Sentinel and liaison dogs were of the greatest valule. The former went iifto advance posts with his master, and was trained to give tho alarm by a low growl when anyone approached. His ability to heitii• an advancing man at four hundred metres was of great value at night. The liaison dog car- ried messages from one of his two masters to the other. It took about three months to train clogs to travel as far as three kilometers in this work. Many dogs could be relied up- on to carry messages in both direc- tions. A liaison team consisted of two dogs and two trainers who always worked together. Real polios •they were, too; no em- busques among them! They shared all the hardships and the dangers of the front line. and they shared, too, the military honors. When their re- giment got the croix de guerre, so did they; end often they were mentioned in despatche:i. One clay I visited a small, fuzzy - haired, dirty -yellow -and -black, tailless dog called Bouee. Three times he had been cited for his services. The last . citation was received in a day of heavy action, wh. n all telephone wires had been destroyed and Bouee was the only means of communication between a commandant and his force. It read: "Bouee No. Mle. 1375A. "Liaison dog -of the first order;, ful- filling his duties in a perfect manner. During a very violent bombardment, at each shell the animal crouched to the ground and immediately after- wards continued his way to his desti- nation. Remarkable for his regularity and his quickness; nor does he allow anything to distract him when he is given ,his duty." But with all his military honors Bouee was modesty itself. As' It sketched his portrait he seemed actually bored. WHEN TOWNS TOBOGGAN .1 Landslides That Have Caused Dam- age to Life and Property. Three mountains are moving in Wales, and especially at Victoria Village, near Ebbed Vale, the damage is terrible. Houses collapsed by the dozen, waterways were blocked, and floods filled the lower ground. In. Victoria alone sixty 'houses were de- molished. Many people are under the impres- sion that 'the trouble is caused by earthquake. It is nothing of the sort. Rain is at the bottom of it. This is a very wet district; the rain sinks into the ground and lodges in the different strata or layers of rock until at last one layer gets so spongy and soft that it begins to flatten out and everything 'on top of at slides forward. All around the British coasts you. can see samples of the same sort of thing on' a smaller scale, Only the other day there was a big slide on the North Devon coast, between Lyn - mouth and Ilfracombe. Part of the main road fell into the Bristol Chan- nel. At Lynne Regis a strip of cliff, . three-quarters of a mile long, 240 feet broad, and 150 feet high, went crashing into the sea. The two worst landslides .in mod- ern times were the fall of the Ross - berg in Switzerland and the great landslide at Naimi Tal, a tvell known Indian health resort. The Rossberg is made of sandstone and "conglom- erate." The whole thing went sud- denly, filled a large valley and in- stantly buried three villages and 900 people. - At Naimi Tal they had 25 incites of rails in forty hours before the big fall. Now, 25 inches of rain is about as much as falls in the Hest of Eng- land land in a whole year, Tho Steep hillside above the la«_.: melted like treacle, and went roaring into the lake, carrying hundreds of victim, to their death.
