Dealing with the current year's out- I am glad look the Chairman added: to be able to report that in face of abnor mal business and political conditions pre- sailing in many countries in which wa operate, our total volume of business show a substantial inercase over the pre vious year, and this increase in volume has been maintained during the first three months of the current year. I should again remind you that your busi-trie en France res consists entirely of export and for- vign business, and. this being the case, the shareholders should bear in mind that the

profits in sterling are largely dependent upon the rates of exchange, which were very much against us in the year under review as compared with the previous year, and I do not see any indication of a general improvement to-day.

THE LEWIS GUN TO BE REPLACED.

The British Army, according to the Star (London) is abandoning the Lewis gun, which figured so prominently in the World War, for, the Browning gun, an American invention.

The new weapon is more easily carried, and, as it weighs only 15 lb., it can be fired either from the shoulder or from the hip. Ita magazine holds 40 service car tridges, which can he fired in 24 sec. and replaced with a new batch in 2 soc.
