OVER 4,000 SOLDIERS WILL BE MOBILIZED AT BARRIE- FIELD THIS SPRING To Prepare For Overseas Service -- Camp on Heights Will Be the Lar- gest Ever Held There, Simce it has been given out official ly that Barriefield will be used ss a training , camp this year, the battal ion that will undoubtedly be recrust- ed for the Fourth Contingent will be mobilized there. If the orders were issued immediately for the battalion, over half of the, men could be issued with uniform at once. In Lindsay there are 300 men waiting for the es- | tablishment of a battalion. They are being drilled now as recruits and up- attached to any overseas unit. 'lhe officers of the regiment, of course, are in charge. In every regimental head quarters' in this Division are a num- ber of men in .the same position. They ara receiving $1.10 a day and 'n a great' many cases subsistence allow- i ance. In the other cases the Govern: | ment is paying for their keep and np returns are being made. The 14th Regiment overseas volun- | tears are well trained in the element ary drlls, but anything more compli- | | ented than company drill is impossi- { ble. It is well-known that after a | man has received a good grounding in the elementary drill, the time is | wasted until he is put into a battal {jon, or at least a half battalion, for | the more advanced drills. | The men themselves are very anxi- {ous that the order be issued at once | for mobilization, as the sooner they | are put at work as a battalion, the jazoner they will be able to ge over seas. % | The troops {fn Barriefield that will be mobilized will be the overseas | troops of the Division.

Montreal, Montreal, March 25.--~The annual meeting of the Canada Steamship Lines, Limited, was held at the of fices. of the company hegre this morn- | ing. The annual financial report was presented, and showed that the total revemue of the company was 1 $6,585,510, expenses $5,657,773, and net earnings $928,036.

The profit and | lods account showed a debit balance | of $570,432. In the financial statement it was stated that: '"The partial failure of | the northwest crops and the conse: | {quent very low freight rates obtained | {in the fall made a serious impression on' the company's earnings. The | shortage in the wheat and oat crops | {alone was over 100,000,000 bushels. {The outbreak of war practically sus- | | pended passenger travel.

The | { balance "of the seven per cent. divid- {end on these shares (which is cumula- |tive) was, however, owing to the .ef- fects of the war, deferred.
