TOBACCO COMPANY LIMITED

Notice to holders Of Share Warrants to
Bearer for Ordinary Shares.
Notice is hereby given that the 'hsrehold-
ers at the Annual General Meeting OF the
Company held this day, passed a resolution
adopting an amended recommendation OF the
Directors whereby the proposal to distribute
certain Ordinary Shares Of the Imperial To-
bseco Company of Canada Limited as q
bonu, to the Ordinary Shareholder, OF Bnt-
i,h-Ameriesn Tobacco Company Limited, was
Withdrawn. Holders OF Share Warrants to
Bearer should therefore retain coupon No.
81 and not deposit il with the Company
until further notice.
By order Of A. M. RICHARDS, Secretary,
Westminster House, Millbsnk, London,
S. w., England.
January IL, 1917.
In explanation Of the above notice we
would state that from cable information re-
ceived to-day from the Head 0nce OF the
Company in London, we are advised that Mr..
Joseph Hood, Viee-Chsirmsn of the Com
pany, who acted as Chairman Of the meeting,
in his speech to the shareholders, said as fol-
lows: Since the issue Of the Report and
Balance Sheet the Directors have had certain
difficulties brought to their attention and have
had the advice Of Counsel thereon and they
consider it would be inadyissble to distribute
this bonus without alteration Of the existing
Articles Of Association. |, will accordingly
be necessary to submit the matter to further
meetings of the shareholders, a. which the
proposed alteration Of the Article, will be
brought forward. We hope the delay this
entailed will merely delay the transfer Of the
shares for few weeks more and that there
will not be any disappointment in cOnse-
quenee."
We are further advised that the meeting
approved the payment Of the final cash diyi-
dend Of per cent, which will be paid in
London together with the interim dividend Of

full quota. The task which the
railroads have beeu asked to per-
form, however, is different one:
it involves the supplying Of all the
necessities of life for sixteen nom
productive citiea of a population
of 40, 600 each and fifty-six small
er cities ranging in population
from 300 to 5000. Altogether more
than a million men gathered at
the varios cantonments must have
their daily necessities brought to
them by railroads. AS it takes at
least five pounds of food per day
for each soldier, in addition to the
food. clothing, fuel and other sup
plies that are constantly needed,
the railroads have their work cut
out for them.
