Railroad Wires Are Being Used by a
Practical Joker to Spread Bia
War Victory Stories
Broadcast.
LAST YARN YESTERDAY
1t Finally Got Up to Six Divisions Of
Germans Surrounded by American
Soldiers and Captured
on Masse.

Say. did you hear? R. r. Brass
collar told me he got it off the wire,
that the Americans surrounded q di.
vision Of Germans and captured them
ALL"
Say. r. R. Brasscollar says that
the Americans surrounded and cap
tured four divisions of Germans today.
and the Globe-Democrat is getting out
a special edition. He got 1t off the
wire direct"
Say. just heard R. R. Brasscollar
got it off the wire that the Globe
Americans captured six divisions of
Germans by surrounding them"
Say, did you hear that r. R. Brass
collar
The Same Old Liar at Work.
BY that time The Gate City man
was interrupting all the excited nara
tors before they stated the number of
divisions captured by the American
troops in Flanders.
But the repeated fake is getting in
teresting.
Yesterday afternoon is the 'steenth
time a big war story has been started
here on the authority of a railroad
man who got it off the wire. The
stories are all similar in narrating a
big American success and giving The
as authority for the
yarn. OF course the Globe-Democrat
never heard Of the fake and is not
aware that its reputation is being
traded on to start fake war stories.
R. R. Brasscollar is not to blame.
He really did get the yarn by wire.
Yesterday one railroad man got it by
telegraph and another got it from an
other official of the road who tele-
phoned him from Hannibal about 1t.
They Ought to Catch Him Alive.
The fact is, that some propagandist
at the key is amusing himself by
starting similar story at intervals.
His object except pure cussedness Is
hard to fathom. The thing bears all
the earmarks of the regular German
organized propaganda in this coun-
try; but the widest imagination can
not fathom how the story can do any
harm to the cause of the allies.
The fact is, that telegraph wire
gossip is the most unreliable news
source in the world. not excepting the
First Church gossip club in session. 1t
has always been thus.
Whenever you hear war yarn with
a railroad mans wire information as
It's authority, ignore it. If there is any
thing in it, it will be on the bulletin
board OF The Gate City. for the war
news facilities of The Gate City are
at least equal to those Of the st.
ouia papers

Is Urged.

ALBANY. Dec. Washington on
Gals are inauguratlng IA campaign to
have States, counties and municipali-
ties begin all possible construction
work at once in order to furnish work
for returned soldiers and sailors, as
the United States Employment Service
and labor representatives in the War

labor and shortage OF jobs by the
late winter.
Newton d. Baker. Secretary of War
ard chairman of the Council OF Ma
tional Defence. has wired all State de-
fence councils as follows:
Unemployment of discharged SOL
diers. sailors and war workers Is one
Of the most important tasks now be-
fore the country. We strongly urge
that In sections where surplus labor
exists all public improvements be adj
vanced in order to absorb labor. We
ask that you use all influence with
state, county and municipal authori-
ties to this end. Preliminary steps
should be taken Immediately in order
that necessary authority may be Sc
cured in time for operations upon the
O1tHluS VI tue CONSTRUCTION perlOu.
Washington officials will do every
thing possible to have Legislatures Of
tie various States provide funds for
immediate public improvements and
tn get private construction work under
way.
What is expected TO result in imme-
date impetus for building work is the
order just sent from Washington as
fellows:
Effective January the rules. regu-
lations and directions of every nature

NATIONAL PROBLEMS OF CANADA DISCUSSED AT The
ANNUAL MEETING OF The BANK OF MONTREAL

7 With the acquisition Of the Bank
of British North America the re
sources OF the bank now totalled
$55S,413,5 46, of. which S34 ,46S, 283 be-
longed to the shareholders and $5Z3,..
945,262 was entrusted to the care OF
the bank by the public. 1t was
worthy of note that the banks total
assets are now as great as were the
combined total assets of all the Cana
dian Chartered banks seventeen years
ago.
Stood Strain Well.
1.-THE ease with which financial Can
ada has met the stress Of war condi-
tons has been favorably commented
upon abroad. At home one hears no
expression OF surprise at the stable
financial conditions in the Dominion.
1.-The real basis Of that stability is a
banking system that has proved most
efficient In peace times and. with the
facilities accorded by4the Minister OF
Finance. has withstood the severe test
OF war times. The system as it stands
is without doubt adequate to meet any
possible demands arising during the
reconstruction period and for many
years thereafter.
Condition. in U. S. Will HelpCsnada.
After passing through the inevitable
period OF economic confusion which all
countries must endure, that country Of
boundless wealth and virility, the Unit.
ed States, the only great power, by the
way, to emerge from the war better off
| financially, may probably enter upon
an era of unprecedented expansion
and development. Canada must share
/ in such prosperity independently OF the
part we hope to take in supplying Eu
ropes reconstruction and regular de-
mands. Meanwhile, there never was a
! time when our country was more in
/ need of sound economic thinking and
sane financial policy.
I Our New York and London Offices
have been invaluable channels for in
ternational transactions during the
war.
"In London, the important banking
events OF the year have been a series
of bank amalgamations regarded by
those competent to Judge as wise pre-
paration for foreign trade competition
after the war
THE Dominion has been penalized
during the past year by heavy pre-
: Inluln VII I'VE" OIh lulluS. UlS new
condition is a matter of widespread
/ interest
! I'm theory, there are four ways in
which this onerous penalty can be re-
moved: by increased exports; by re-
duced imports; by paying in gold or ;,
by borrowing in outside markets None
of these remedies is at hand, but with
the return OF peace, Canada should at
least he able to float public loans in
/ New York. Then also We can hope for
better things so far as imports and ex-
ports are concerned Also there is on
balance large amount owing our
Government by the Imperial Govern
ment and 5000, 900, 900 is owing the
Banks of Canada by the Imperial
Government, representing wheat and
munition purchases In due course
these combined amounts will aid the
exchange situation. The premium in
question should, therefore. diminish
sooner or later to u point that will be
immaterial
The sun., 1918-12-26

The annual meeting of the Bank Of
Montreal held at the head office took
on many OF the features of national
gathering
The Bank, by its position, had play
ed principal part in directing the
country throughout the trying condi-
tons OF the war period end at the
meeting Sir Vincent Meredith, the
President, and Sir Frederick Williams
Taylor, the General Manager, took UP
the problems that Canada must neces-
sarily face during the post-bellum
period. The addresses at the Bank of
Montreal annual always have a special
bearing on the events of the day, but
this year perhaps more than ever
before they contained references of the
utmost interest and benefit to every
business man in Canada.
Everywhere there prevailed a strong
belief that Canada was in an excellent
position 20 grapple with the difficulties
OF the period Of REIMBURSEMENT
Problems of Canada.
Sir Vincent Meredith, the President,
dealt particularly with the problems
Immediately ahead of the country.
The most important. Sir Vincent
pointed out, was how the country was
to meet the interest on the vast debt
OF possibly 81, 500, 900, 900 which would
exist after the war. Increased pro-
duction would relieve the country of
portion of its burden and this, with
strict economy and growing popula-
ton, would in time adjust the diff
culties of the country
Taxation cannot easily be lessened
and may be increased, added Sir Vim
cent. A levy on capital, advocated in
some quarters, must only result in the
sitting of individual incentive and
enterprise and the penalizing of in
dustry, self-denial and thrift. Taxing
capital to the point of unemployment
in industrial enterprise would involve
unemployment Of labor and produce
serious consequences. II placed prin-
cipally on consumption, the burden of
taxation is distributed
The New Conditions.
With the cessation Of hostilities, the
cancellation of munitions contracts has
begun and the adaptation Of war in
dustries to peace conditions will doubt
less bring about a check with possible
dislocation of business but these ad-
verse factors should prove transitory
II Canada is to share in the bust
ness opportunities during the period
of reconstruction, the banks must
stand ready to arrange liberal and
probably long term lines OF credit pro-
viding the necessary funds from their
own resources or availing themselves
of rediscount with the Dominion Gov
eminent.
As the war ends, all signs point to
great demand for capital for re-
construction, refunding and replace
ment purposes and interest rates in
consequence will in all probability rule
high for some time to come.

Sir Vincent Meredith, President Dealt With he Difficult
Problems of Increased TaxatonBsnk will open Branch
in Paris FranceSir Frederick General
Manager, Pointed Out That There Never Was Time When
Country Was More in Need of a Sane Financial Policy.

With particular reference to the
affairs Of the Bank, Sir Vincent an
nounced that the distribution to the
shareholders would now take the form
of a straight dividend Of II p. C. per
annum, instead Of dividend OF 10
per cent and bonus Of 2 p. C. With
a view OF enabling Canada to be closely
in touch with the affairs in France
during the period OF reconstruction
the Bank was also making arrange
ments for the opening Of branch in
Paris
THE business OF the bank has been
well maintained during the year. In
view Of possible Government financing
and the somewhat uncertain outlook
at home and abroad, We have con-
sistently set our faces against over
expansion which is to be deprecated
under existing conditions While CIV
ing our customers all reasonable
accommodation required and taking
up many new desirable accounts, we
have maintained strong liquid posi-
ton, continuing a well considered
policy of the bank; policy which in
the past ~ now, has added materially
to the bank at home and abroad and of
Canadian finance generally.
Change Policy Slightly.
The question of opening branches
in foreign countries to participate in
the business that may arise in connec-
tion with reconstruction requirements
abroad is one that has received consid-
cradle attention from your directors.
Following the policy Of many English
banks, we have deemed it prudent to
refrain from establishing branches at
points far afield where Canadian capital
would be required in local and possible
competitive industries, preferring rather
to strengthen and extend our relations
with foreign banking houses and to re-
tain their goodwill, thereby conserving
our resources for the assistance and en-
couragement OF home trade In this
connection it may be we'll to mention
that We propose presently to establish
an agency OF the bank in Paris, not for
the purpose of loaning Canadian funds
but to supply necessary banking facili-
ties to Canadians travelling abroad and
to further the interests Of Canada gen.
orally in France
I'VE shall undoubtedly for some
years have to pay in relatively high tax.
alton the price of our devotion and pa
triotism, but | am confident this will be
done uncomplainingly in the belief tina,
all present and prospective difficulties
can and will be overcome
Sane Financial Policy.
Sir Frederick Wilijams-T Taylor. the
General Manager, dealt more especial!
with the growth and development Of
the business of the Bank and finan.
cial conditions in the principal centres
of the world. Sir Frederick pointed
out that there never was time wher
Canada was more in need of sounC
economic thinking and a sane financia
policy than at present
