IMPORTANT MEETlN(i_'i
A meeting of fishgrmen, packers and others interested in
the lobster business has been called for Tuesday, December
lst., in the Board of Trade rooms, Charlottetown. _
The matters to be discussed at this meeting are of very
_great importance and it is desirable that all interested shall
be present. ln previous issues we referrod to the serious-
ness of the situation caused by the war as it effects the
lobster bupiness: Our two great markets, Germany and
France, have been closed to us and now we are face to face
`with two alternatives, either_to close the fishing f0l‘ 8 1'9"
or more, or to continue fishing and packing under condi-
tions which will yield a much lower rate to the fisherman.
There are many things to be considered in deciding be-
tween these two alternatives. The revenue gathered out of
"the sea from lobsters around the shores of this province
amounted to about s million dollars yearly. Many fisher-
men made a large part of their living out of the business
and the prospect of discontinuing it even for one year and
laying up expensive boats and other gear for a season is
not a bright one. Neither is there any brightness in the
prospect 'of flshitTg"'for' a lower' remuneration that in former
years.
Perhaps between the two, or by a compromise, or in some
other way, a solution may be found for what is a decidedly
difficult question.
The only practical method of approaching a solution is
being adopted in calling those interested together. A sim-
ilar course was adopted by the Nova Scotia fishermen and
an opportunity was given them of expressing their views
on the situation. While unanimity of opinion could not
be expected the views of those present at the Halifax meet-
ing are valuable as showing the general drift of the opinions
:>t` fishermen, packers and dealers in that province. With
a similar expression in Prince Edward island a foundation
may be laid on which action can be taken that will he in the
best interests of the whole industry and we trust that there
will be a large and representative meeting. '
Volonel Andrew King, who was chairman of the Halifax
meeting. will be present and will represent the Nova Scotia
vii-w, which will be tx guide to those in this province. 'I`o
be of' any benefit. in fact to prevent a serious disturbance to
one of our greatest industries, it is necessary that a. definite
line of action be agreed upon and that all shall concur
in it.
No dotfbt if all the fishermen in the three Maritime Prov-
inces are unanimous in the opinion that a close season will
be the best means of conserving the industry and of doing
the least injury`to all concerned. legislative sanction for
such a measure could be procured, but we presume that
practical unanimity will be demanded by the governtneut
before such action is taken. ln any case this is a matter
_n which thc interests of the majority should he consulted
md in which, also, the wi:-:lies of thc majority should pro-
vail-always with a view to the conservation of the
Industry.
An advertisement calling this meeting appears in another
issue. We trust the date will be kept in view and that the
subject will be carefully considered in the meantime so
that an intelligent expression of opinion may be obtained
and a line of action may be adopted that will tide ovcr
what is certainly u crisis in the business.

Bank is Carrying an Unusual Amount
of Gold and Cash-Liquid Assets
Are Equivalentxo 55.17 per cent. of
Liabilities to Public-increase in Aa-
sets and Deposits.
MONTREAL, Nov. 23_-(Speclal)-
Just at a time when the statement of
Canadian corporations are being wat-
ched with unusual attentlon, the Bank
of Montreal comes out with a report
for the fiscal year ending October 31.
1914, which is one of the strongest in
its history. Owing to the unprecedent-
ed situation Canada is passing through
as a result of the European war, such
a statement issued by the premier
banking institution of the country will .
be regarded as especially timely and
should prove reassuring not only to
Canadians generally but particularly
to New York and Loudon banking in-
terests who naturally look to the
Bank of Montreal statement to give
them an indication as to the 110510011
of the dominion of Canada. On this
account, the general statement of the
bank‘s assets and liabilities assumes
that much greater importance than
the profit and loss account. which
shows the profits that were made 'Gur-
ing the course of the year.
The keynote of the general state-
ment seems to be that every endeavor
has been made to maintain an unusual- _
iy strong position and in this way be so
placed as to be able to handle almost
any coutiltgency that may arise in
the country under the exceptional con-
ditions,
RECORD AMOUNT OF CASH ON
HAND.
With a view of keeping itself
strong, attention has evidently been
centered on maintaining a large
percentage of both cash and liquid as-
sets, as is shown by the fact that the
cash on hand, represented in gold and
notes of the dominion government is
in excess of $42,000,000, an increase
of over $19,000,000, as compared with
the previous year. Of this amount
gold and silver coin
is held to the extent of
$15,452,819. as compared with $11,-
015,339 last year and government de-
mand notes $25,208,042 as conipared
051,339 last year and government do-
mands note. $25,208,042 as compared
with $11,149,460. An addition of $500,-
000 was also deposited in the Central
Gold Reserves, bringing this amount
up to $1,500,000. The cash assets to-
talled 19 p. c. of the liabilities to thc
public, tts compared with 10.45 p. c. at
the end of the previous year. in main-
taining such tt strong position the
bank has evidently not availed itself
of its great credit in the Loudon mar-
ket, as its bills payable stands at only
$436,000.
LARGE PERCENTAGE OF LIQUID
ASSETS. ‘
The next item of importance is the
showing made by the liquid assets,
these reaching the unusual total of
$122,65_lL9Q3. which ise<tu1y_alent__ __ to
the very high percentage of 55.17 p. c.
of liabilities to the public. These com-
pared with $103,699,427 last year,
which were equivalent to 40.69 p. c.,
the increase ofthe year in this depart-
ment being practically $19,000,000. Ot’
this amount cull and short loans in
Great Britain and t-he United States
totalled $41,502,122, as against $51,-
240,795 at the ond of the previous
year. An account which, under pres-
responsible companies. would lead to a stampede in w
the present ntlvocates would probably find thc cure w
than the disease. As .\lr_ ltayner. hir. Z\icCrcady and
Neil .\lcl.eod pointed out, young foxes on a fur basis

These. be it remembered, do not take into account the
ent conditions, should be of particular
assistance to the bank in handling the
general business of the country, more
especially in outside centres is that
represented bv the balances due b '
worth at least $10,000. To sell them for less than that
menus the seller has his doubts about the quality of his
foxes. has doubts about the p_ermanency of the market for
lurs, or is so badly off' for ready cash that he would part
with his $100 diamond ring for $10.00 in order to tide ovet
u temporary difficulty.
Now il’ n man or cnn1pnn_\'s foxes are not “the real
overseas forces. All the forces numbered above are drawn,
or to be drawn, from the male population of the British
isles. This male population numbers 21,9-46.000. but of
these only about five millions are between the ages of 18
1nd 35, and this makes no deduction for the physically un-
fit. When the whole force now planned for is raised,
therefore, Great Britain will have given something like
“our out of every five of her young men.
- . )
banks and banking correspondents
elsewhere than in Canadathese reach-
ing the new high level of $15,900,030
as against $6,126,729 at the end of the
previous year. Railway and other
bonds $11,254,173 as against $12,403,-
169 last year. Dominion and Provinc-
ial government securitles $502,931

ln addition to this great force, upwards of 100,000 over-
seas troops, comprising a large proportion of trained and
seasoned men, is being added to the British expeditionary
‘or banks $1,988,933 and checks un otit-
er hunks $li,06li,753, these two items
comparing with the notes and checks
of other banks shown in th
in the lslnlirl for which probably $1,200 would be too much
to give. _\ man may do as he likes with these, but he has
no right tn cluini that they are of the llalton-flultnn, ltay-
nt-r~'i`t|plin. I.:-wis stock, 'l`lu-_\' are not the aristocratic
toxin-ral of the island.
if n man have doubt about the permuncncy ot' the de-
inand for silver lux fur ul existing prices, it simply means
force. Should they be needed, the Dominions could and
.vould-even on a basis of one-fifth of their military age
'non-send 750,000. ln addition there are the indian troops,
born fighting mon, whose princes lead litem in person. This
zrcat army of over four millions is composed of young men,

adults in her total population than the linited Kingdom, has

There is u slight change in the man-
ner of presenting the stateniunt, more
especially in the loan department, due
to the provisions of the new batik uct.
The total luuns at the end ofthe fiscal
year stood ut $120,071,492 as against
$134,563,792 ni. the ond of the lust fis-
cal year and $l17.493,l’»28 at the end of

tln»rnuglily at-t|uaintt-rl with the history und markets for
ilu- various kinds nl' iurs, and should know approximately
what each pell will bring him before it leaves his premises

will drop out. or be dropped out, of the industry, to
own und not the intiustr_v's detriment. It would be ab
nu incnlnpetent manager or poor man on the road. 1
is such "industrious lncompctcnts" in the fox ind
who, had they their wuy. would reduce the value

Oi' course, ii' n man who has the genuine article,
blue-blooded aristocratic foxocrats of the island. is
or bunker who would grant him a loan, wc can u
n
stand his being glad to "take what he can get" for u quick `
turn-over. There are such men who have gladly uccepted
$10.00 fur a $100.00 diamond, but they are few. and
value of the article and stability ot' the lndustry are not to
be judged by such exceptions.
The fox men of Prince Edward island are endo
with something more than the proverbial horse sense: it
has been sharpened by contact with foxes; and they
not going to be stampeded inio sacrificing their monopoly
just because. among other reasons, one or two of their t
number may have, in their anxiety "to-get-rich-quick,"
ten off more than they can chew.
There is another side, which we need not discuss here.

“AUDACIOUS” MYSTERY
The fate of the superdreadnought, Audacious, is still one
if the mysteries of the war. Our readers will remember
the story originating in a New York paper. The Admiralty
is still as silent as the sphynx on the subject and the story
is credited or discredited according to the whim of the
reader. The Montreal Star publishes a picture alleged to
be of the Audacious as she was sinking, the photograph it is
alleged. having been taken by a passenger on board tho
Olympic which was credited with saving the passengers
and also with keeping the secret at the request of the Brit-`
ish Government. The sinking ship is shown with a funnel
forward of the mast. The Star gives also, on another page
of the paper. a picture of the rcal Audacious which shows
all the funnels aft of the mast. This, says the Moncton
Times. together with the statement of the surgeon on the
Olympic that he saw no rescue work, is calculated to dis-
credit the whole story of tho Audacious_
prev ous year.

Owing probably to the unusual ‘at-

strong position, opportunities for pro-
fits in business were evidently ‘ not
sought for to the extent f.hey might be
under ordinary conditions, and as a
result the profits for the year amount-
ed to $2,496,451. which is equivalent
to 15.60 p. c. on the paid-up capital and
compares with $2,648,402 last year.

NEW YORK, lvov_ z4.-Per Ostoerg,
special messenger of the king of Swe-
den, reached New York this afternoon
on the steamshlp Hellig Olaf from
Chrlstiansand, bearing a message from
King Gustave to the Swedish embassy
at Washington, which he said was too
important to trust either to the malls
or the cables. He left at once- for
Washington.
IT I_S NOT THE ENGLISH CUSTOM
Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood told
some interesting stories at a meeting
recently. Referring to the charges of
brutality made against the Germans,
he saidz-
prisals. Thirty-five years ago I was
commanding 12,000 men, who fought
against 23,000 brave Zulus for 5 1-2
hours. They attacked with the un-
daunted courage of savages and did
not realize the effect of modern rifles,
and the following morning we buried,
besides a vast number elsewhere, 884
close up to one face of the laagered
wagons behind which our men had
stood. When the fight was overl
desired a few friendly Zulus wlto were
attached to the companies under my
command to cdllect men of every regi-
ment promising for each uninjured
man a 'stick' of tobacco. Next morn-
ing there was a group outside my tent
of magnificent specimens of human-
its. When l got all the information, l
said, ‘two months ago, .when after a
skirmish our doci.ors cared for your
wounded, and a few days later you
overwhelmed our camp, killing 1,500
of our melt you did not spare those
who had been attending on your own
brothers. Will one ol' you say why l
should not kill you? Said u young
giant, ililay I speak, O master You
ask why you should not kill us; I
answer, because it. is noi. the English
custom.'
“This is_ the character our race
hears in the north. south, cast ami
west Africa, and 1 hope it may ever
continue, for reprisals are not only
useless, but would sensibly lessen the
grand fighting value of our soldiers.
The troops at the assault of Delhi in
1857. when embittered by horrible
stories, many exaggerated, and at
Jhensi_ in 1858. were seen deliberately
lifting women and little children out
of' thc line of fire. Such conduct is a
part of our national inheritance."
Sir Evelyn sold this war would lost
Britons and deepen the spirit of self-
sacrilicc and devotion to duty. Our
people were realizing now tltnt the
first duty of' a citizen was to fit intu-
self to defend his country. That wo
had yet time to repair our own re-
fusal to admit the accuracy of this
truism was due to the increasing watch
of our seamen in mine-strewn waters.
“lu .lune. 1889, when the Gorman
Emperor saw the Aldershot division
carrying out tactical operations. point-
ing to some cavalry in the distance,
he asked me: ‘How many squadrons
have you got i uthc field today'_" I re-
plied sixteen, your ma.jesty,` when ite
said. ‘lf you will come and see my
mauoeuvres in September l will show
you G4 squadrpns'
"We admit the Germans are brave.
but so far they have not ridden over
our regiments. Their horses arc
trained i`or two _veaizi before they _are
passed into thc ranks, and while it is
impossible for one man to fight three
or tour with a certainty of success, l
have always believed that individually
our cavalry are better horsemen, and
will certainly attack without hesita-
