Nickle, M.P., was a par- liamentary representative from Can- ada travelling on/the continent and visiting the battle front as a guest of the Empire. The relations tween the Association and the vari- ous Grand Lodges were of the most harmonious character. L The secretary-treasurer reported a slight decrease in the receipts on mortuary account, due to the con- tinued depression and war.

The Superintendent of Agencies paid tribute to the large number who belonged to the Association and who had entered the military service. The enlistment of 325,000 of the wealth- producing class of the Dominion could not, it was supposed, be carried out without disrupting the machinery of production, and yet the country had witnessed the carrying out of this wonderful feat. The special agents at work in Saskatchewan, Al- berta, Manitoba and the Maritime Provinces were praised for their splendid work, also the chief agent of the Association in Toronto. Refer- ence was made to the appreciation which had been expressed of the work of the Association by the Grand Lodges.
