SEVENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT To the Policy-Holders and Public ., a?;,k *Ve?r i**0 ' ,,,-led *hat th?? European war would not have any material effect on our Company, notwithstanding the world-w.de character of it. business. of w l n?W COnftrm that ******** by facts based on experience that includes twelve added months _-?e?.i J" }0*\ Ui*ur*nce -*-* financial effect of mortality is ?pressed by the per cent, which the total *!l ?Jk w ** the year b**r to *? ?P?-*?- death loases according to the tables of mortality idopte<l by the state for valuation purposes. Through a period of years this per cent, (disregarding fractions) has been as follows*? 1912 Actual death losses 76% of the "expected" 1913 Actual death losses 73 of the "ex-"-**cted" 1914 Actuad death losses 73'",- of the "expected" (I month, of war) 1915 Actual d-eath loases 73r, of the "expected" (|| months of war) a t. 'n *l **** w?r?*-?, from the beginning of hostilities up to January, 1916, seventeen months, wa had In all the membership of the Company 534 separate war claims. During the y-eax 1915:? 409 members of the Company were killed in war 448 members of the Company were killed by accident 707 members of the Company died of cancer 772 members of the Company died of pneumonia 950 members of the Company died of tuberculosis. in the grim battle of life with its inevitable mortality and its unnecessary slaughter, the mor Uiity of a world-war, even while it Is being prosecuted, amongst a membership that is aUo world-wide, it about-? 91 of that mused by accident in the same membership 58 of that caused by cancer in the same rnemb***rt*hip 53 of that caused by pneumonia in the same membership 43'. of that caused by tuberculosis in the same membership. A modern war cannot be localized. Electricity, steam, and the partial conquest of the air, hav* the world to small that any great intemation.-.l upheaval shocks the who'e of civilization. War -de** such conditions taket? its toll impartially, and in these days the nation which is an "innocent b>>iander" suffers proportionately with the belligerents. it ir interesting to notice that this Company had, in seventeen months, war losses from seven? teen countries, end that what may be called AMERICAN LOSSES exceed those of any belligerent country except in two instances: United States (including Lusitania losses) $112,000 ; tralia. 29,000 \ustria-Hungary. 105,500 Belgium. 23,000 Canada. 49,000 Great Britain.?. 84,000 -i ?:.... 76,000 Only in Frunce and Germnnv have the total? exceeded thoie of our own country. Life insurance isn't designed merely for times of peace. It would confess ?is inability highly to serve humanity if it did not measurably cover all the risk naturally incurred by healthy men. DURING THE YEAR 1915 NO POLICY-HOLDER OR BENEFICIARY, WHEREVER RESIDENT WAS DENIED A REASONABLY PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF ANY JUST CLAIM. WE HAVE OR ED AND STILL IGNORE ALL MORATORIA, ALTHOUGH THESE REGULATIONS ARE INVOKED AGAINST US IN SOME PLACES. In New Business we have done well. We have made -?cod the natural shrinkage on an outstand? ing business of $2,347,000,000 at the close of 1914, and increased the total amount to $2,403,000,000 at the close of 1915. Of the $214,000,000 new business paid for in 1915 over $200,000.000 was secured in the United tea and Canada. NO BOND ISSUED BY ANY BELLIGERENT COUNTRY AND HELD BY US WAS IN DEFAULT OF PRINCIPAL OR OF INTEREST AT THE CLOSE OF 1915. Market values, as a whole, are a little lower than a year ago. Bonds of belligerent nations are quoted in our Annual Statement at the market where a quotation was obtainable, otherwise and in only one instance as of June 30, 1914.
