the award of the Board of Conciliation and granted their operators increased wages, the Great North Western Telegraph Company have in a great measure counter-acted this benefit to the men by cutting off the war bonuses which they had been paying.8S.J.Konenksmp, president of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of While he was not ready to state the cause of his visit to Ottawa he admitted that he would probably interview governe ment officials.The act of the Great North Western in cutting off war bonuses, he said, had caused a grest desl of dissatisfaction in Calgary and other western cities.Some men are getting less than before the strike, the increase not being enough te make up for the loss of the bonus.The discharge of the girl automatie operators in Montreal, who went om

crusade has siready made considersble head- Way, and the federal amiherities have devoted much attention to the matter.The Department of the\u2018 Naval Service has published and widely distributed books containing a number of useful recipes for the cooking and serving of fish of varies kinds, and have furnished the press with several articles on the advantages of a fish diet.They have gone so far as to contribute to the en- cousagement of axpress shipments from both the Atlantic and Pacific coapls to the interior of the country, and have had specimen glass cases made and distributed for

other all-Canadian business Institution which eam make the boast that the Bank of Meatreal will be able to make today, that it has been in existence for 100 years.The Quebec Branch was opened an Nov.33rd, 1811, twenty days after the opening Of the Institution in Canada.This is such a youthfu! esuniry, and sur great business institutions are of such an essentisily modern origin, that it seems ge to re- Bect that our premier banking institution antedates mod- era civilisation itself.It was away back in the Georgian era before Quesn Victoria had been born, that the merchants who founded the Bank of Montreal got together and decided to give the country its first banking institution, Those were the days of the piflory and the public whipping post, when theft and forgery were capital offenses.The revolutionary invention of the locomotive had not yet dawned upos a wondering world, ocean steamships, telegraphs, electricity chloroform in surgery and antiseptics and a thousand and one discover- les and inventions that are now the commonplaces of life were yet tu come: while great names ir British history Nibe those of Carlyle, Macaulay, Herschel, Faraday.Darwin, Huxley, Dawson, Livingstone, and Shaftesbury bad not yet loomed upon the horizon.In Canada the conditions were of the most primitive sharacter.The country was still in the pioneer stage when furs and timber formed its chief seticles of trade, and the colonists were still painfully groping their why Sowards the reconstruction which followed the war with America, then but five years past.The colony at that time had no eurreney of its ewa, and it had to carry on de by the primitive and wasteful means of barter, eke: Wt with the help of foreign specie of constantly-varying 00tes of exchange.Thus we in Canada owe the initiation ol « cireulating medium of our awn to the Bank of Mont- SL, just as we owe to it alse the main lines ef our ations! banking policy and many of the reforms which on the foundation of our economic development and Prosperity.In the course of its career the Bank has not oly seen the rise of modern civilisation but has ser British North America evolve from a series of poverty- stricken and isolated colonies into the great national unit Which forms the first of the Overseas Dominions.Ontario and Quebec, then Upper and Lower Canada respectively, Were 100 years ago the only pertions of the continent knows as Canade and they had between them only abouc 608,000 population.The union of the Canadas and the atfrring political events which ended in Confederation were watched with & sympathetic eye by the respective divetters of the Bank of Montres), and at each turn of the wheel in the national evolution the business of the Bank Sok on a wider scope, the institution ever showing itself gual ta its epportunities.As à business enterprise the Bank has the progd Pecoré of having paid dividends in 88 of its hundred peurs of existence the average returns during its exis- Bence being over 8 per cent, on the capital invested.But [outer oun is the record of the pre-eminent position it ever held in the national life.Beginning by abolish- Ing barter, it proceeded to help the country by backing Bot only worthy individual enterprise, but by helping in great public works making for pr s and develop- Mont.It fostered overseas trade, it gave financial assiet- anes to the building of the canals which have played no Great & part in the well being of the country, it helped ln estadliehing lines of ocepn stesmahips, it stood behind great railway enterprises, and it Mae from ite first year of existence asted os banking agent for the Government of the day.Its services in the latter connection have been of great vaine to the country in partieular during the present war.The steadying influence of Ite impregnable fnansis! stability has been of inestimable value to t country In many periods of economie erisle, and a \u2018more than In the trying period which proseded and hse followed the eutbreak of the present war.lta polley of maintaining 2 sosond line of defence M the form of large call foams tr Now Vork and London has given it command of fiquid reserves that might at any moment be mobilized to meer emergencies in Cansds.This is exsctly what happesed when the war broke out, and the Sew of large quastities of gold from sbread inte the voults of the\u2019 Bank at Montreal immediately after the outbreak of war saved the day for Canada in more ways thas ome.It is only just that oa the occasion of the hundreth anniversary of the Bank we should recall the immense debt which Whe country as 8 whole owes to this great institution, whose prestige is a National asset of incalculable value.HELP TO WIN THE WAR © The wer cannot be wos by the mes at the front alone, though upon them falls naturally its heaviest sac- rifcen, including the manning of the guns, the digging and defence of the trenches, and the frightful exposure to the emomy\u2019s shells and gas attacks.To the otay-at- homes for whom they are doing the fighting and facing Desth la its most frightful forms, they are ebliged to look, and sre oniy too well entitled to look for the necessary supplies, whether in the shape of food or ef the munitipns of war, to enable them to do their several parts 8s they desire to do them.Our resders do mot need to be informed hew serious 3 problem it is to the Allied nations te supply their respective armies with food, especially in view of the existing shortage of shipping and in the world\u2019s stock of cereals.This is why it is a duty laid upon each one of us to aid our splendid men at the front by assisting the Government to keep them wel! supplied with all the necessaries of active service, Each of we can help in his or her own cireumstances \u2014every man and woman among us\u2014in the winning of the war.And there are two distinet methods in which to do this, and to have our share in the witimate victory.Each of us can so practice seif-denial in our use of food as to contribute to a larger margin of beel, bacon, wheat and other necessaries required by the Allied armies, and each of vs, too, ean do our share, even if it is only saving five dollars 3 month, for the purchase, on the periodical payment plan, of 3 hundred dollar war bond.President Wilson has just issued a pressing appeal to the American people for the exercise of the persora! economy necessary to the winning of the war, which ! spesks just ae eloquently and as convincingly to the people of Canada as to these of the United States.After showing why it is necessary as well as natural that the other Allied nations should be looking to this continent for the food supplies for their armies.he well says that to provide an adequate supply of food both for our soldiers on the ether side of the seas and for the civil populations and the armies of the Allies, is one of our first and foremest obligations; for, if we are to maintain their constaney in this struggle for the independence of af nations, we must first maintain their health and strength, The solution of our food problems, therefore, Is dependent upon the individual service of every man, woman, and child among us.The great voluntary effort in this direction initiated and organized by the Food Administration offers an opportunity of service in the war which is open to every individual and by which every individual may serve both his own people and the peoples o} the world.We cannot accomplish our objects in this great war without sacrifice and devotion, and in no direction can that sacrifice and devotion be shown more than by each home and public eating place in the country pledging its support to the Food Administration and complying with\u2019 its requests.OUR FOOD CONTROLLER, THE HON.MR HANNA.The Hon.William Hanns, ex-Minister of Ontario, and now Food Controller for Canads, could have had no idea of the number of partyite-advisers he was going to have when he accepted his present position as a foremost participant, under the advice of Dr.J, W.Robertson and other experienced provender protectors in behalf of Canads during the war.Mr.Hanna's record as a Minister of the Crown.is well-known, not only in connection with his organization of the Prison Farm at Guelph but in connection with the laying out of the magnificent Model Farm at Port Hope.One would think, to read some of the hard-tack vapourings of one or two of Mr.Hanna's declaimers, that he knows nothing of the job he is on, seeing he cannot uproot, in à moment's notice, certain cause-and-effects in marketing economics.It is no easy job he has undertaken in its fundamental reforms; but, when his newspaper non-admirers would burden him with the additional task of hailing to jail, all who would buy goods in a dear market to sell them in an extortionate market\u2014with the majority standing lisplessly by, with their hands in their pockets, heedless of helping out the busy Controller's recommendations\u2014it is surely time for somebody to ask these same non-admirers of his to take a bit of & rest.Any interruption to the full swing of economic evolutions in times of war is attended with serious effects to the merchant as to his customers.People do not understand the scientific causes of a rise in market prices.Ever since the war began, there has been no end to the outcry against advancing prices; and when a citizen, professing to be wiser than the test of us, has tried to explain the phenomena of high prices, his explanations have not tended to allay the outery.The prices asked in our markets today are war prices, and the most direct way of forcing them lower is to lesson our purchases or to aid in bringing the war to an end.How many of Mr.Hanna's detractors are win-the-war advocates or have been so since Mr.Hanna took hold of his job The denunciations he has been subjected to are akin to the demunciations of Sir Robert Borden because he could not organise a Coalition Cabinet of a Saturday afterneon and the denunciations to which he is now being subjeeted because he has succeeded in secing one organized.Is it any wonder that the prominent Liberals and their Conservative confreres in the new Union Government are sick and tired of the \u201cperadventures\u201d of those who will mot shelve their partyite animadiversions of those who are doing their best to stand by the cause of the people outside of party-leadership, All over Canada today the thought is gaining ground, that a praising or declaiming of leadership ie à worn-ont game in our politics of today.That Sir Robert Borden is a Nova Scotian by birth, or that Sie Wilfrid Laurier was born in Quebec, or that the Mon.William Hanna is an Ontarian is not what we are thinking of, as we prepare our minds to proceed to the ballot-box next December.The oversight of oùr commomwealth has fallen into the hands of a Union Government, and no Liberal who has made up his mind to vote aguinst that Union Government can regret more serlously that Sir Wilfrid Laurier ie not à member of that Government then those who have made up their minds to stand by it.In the meantime the Hoa.Mr.Hanne ss an official of the Coalition Cabinet had better | be encourageé and not discouraged la his honchoent oversight ne Food Controller.He docs net carey en his shoulders al Ithat some
