New York, July 24-An extraordinary growth in the profits of the International Mercantile Marine company since the beginning of the war, as revealed today in the company's annual report for 1916, is attributed by Harold A.

 At the end of 1913 the company's sur plus was only $1.26ss97, and at the close of 1916 the balance sheet showed sur plus of s24.6S6,172.

 There were for instance, approximately

 speedily completed so that 1t was pos-
 sible to make reasonable computation of cost and of the value of the prop
 erty. The auditing company found that this investment represented an expen- allure by Great Britain of about s200oo,- 900, which was divided approximately
 among the three munition plants.
 THE BARGAIN COMPLETED The agreement was made that 8, 2,000, 900
 should be struck off from this $20, GOO, ,Oo, since that amount, it was assumed, would fairly represent the cost to Great Britain of the organization of that con- tract service and various incidentals That left s1S,000000 and without any
