Postmaster Greene Get Notification That Glad

Postmaster c. F. Greene has been informed by the First Assistant Post master General that the usual pro- motion will be given the local clerks and carriers whom he had recon mended. Those who will receive pro motion include:
 Carriers:-A- Barnsley, H. M. Bene- dict, B. P. Donahue, M. J. Farrell, A w. French, F. W. Haydon. M. J. Kel- ly,s Ruby Langham, w. J. Mahoney. c. $. MelIor. R. B. Watt, c. J. O'Brien.

 The First Assistant Postmaster Gen eral has sent a, letter saying that all though the postal appropriation bill providing for the increasing needs OF the service and for the usual promo tions for the year 1916, failed to pass at the last session of Congress and the appropriations for 1915 were con tinued for 1916, the making of promo tions at this time is possible because of the saving effected in the rate Of xpenditures. This saving was the result of the cooperation during the past year of postnasters, supervisory officers, clerks and carriers, in the campaign for reorganization and standardationi in the poat omee ser vice and in the special steps inst1tut- ed to reduce expenditures consistent with the falling off in the volume of mail due to the European war.
 ''The making of these promotions %. continues the letter, renders it neces- sary to exercise the utmost economy in the maintaining of the service dur ing the coming year. You are en- joined, therefore, to make as light as possible the demands on the Depart ment for all allowances including those at rush and holiday seasons

 DRINK FEW BEERS AND NOT FEEL ANY EFFECT

That he can drink "a, few beers'' without feeling it because he is Ger man born, was the statement made to Deputy State Secretary Richard w. Dwyer yesterday by Oscar E.

 VATICAN INTERVIEW

Havre, June 2S.-Doubt is express ed by the Vingtfeme Steele, a Catho- lie JJn1onist newspaper of the author ity of the interview reported to have been by the Pope to Louis Latapie. The Vingtieme Steele takes exception especially to the statement attributed in the interview to the Pontff that Cardinal Mercier, archbishop of Ma lines, never had been arrested. The newspaper argues that Cardinal NGer- cier's coercion was proved by the Archbishop.s own Latin pastoral ad- dress to the clergy on Jan. 10, in which the preIate formally contra d1cted the statement of General Von gium. that the Cardinal never had been prevented from exercising fully his ecclesiastical functions.
 Rome, June 23.-The Italian press vigorously condemns the intrview attributed to Pope Benedict by Louis Latapie and published in La Liberte of Paris, in which His Holiness is said to have voiced a complaint that the privileges of the vatican have been seriously curtaiIed by the Italian gov eFnment as the result of the war
