Providence, R. l., July 15-A re- duced trolley car service was in effect in this city today as a result of the strike declared by. 2,4OO union em- ployes of the Rhode Island Company by non-union motormen and conduc- tors. Up to noon there had been no disorder. Hundreds of persons walked to their offices and stores and motor busses, of which about 300 are in operation in the city were crowded all their trips
 The directors of the company, which controls nearly all the trolley lines in the state, planned to meet at 10 o'clock.
 While the union some time ago pre- sented demands for increased wages and improved working conditions, the immediate cause of the strike was a demand by the union that it should be allowed to name three arbitrators to settle the differences.
 Few cars were running on the Broad street, Cranston street and traffic ordinarily is heavy, but they were not well patronized. The New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad ran extra trains from East Greenwich, Valley Falls and PhfI1ipsdale to take care of the su- burban traffic and persons living on the outskirts of the city were able to reach their places of business with little inconvenience. Few strikers were seen about the streets and during the early forenoon no attempt was made to interfere with 1 the cars that were in operation

/ With the publication Of the Chalmers
Clubmap for June, the second issue OF
the attractive magazine recently
launched by the Chalmers Motor Com
pany, is announced the founding OF
a worldwide club of Chalmers owners.

who drive cars of the same make are
bound together in mutual interest. The
Chalmers Company is the first to
recognize officially this tendency and
foster it in tangible organization.
Every owner of a Chalmers car is
eligible for the club roster. BY making
application to the editor of the
Chalmers Clubman," he will be en-
rolled as a member and furnished with
an official membership card signed by
Hugh Chalmers. The card is then
countersgned by the local Chalmers
dealer.
In speaking of the founding OF the
club, Mr.. Chalmers said, 1T Is our be-
lief that a definite utilization of
Chalmers owners will 60 far to
strengthen the unquestionable bond
that already exists between them.
"Chance meetings while touring will
be cheerier, the passing greeting on
the road more spirited. The presenta-
ton of the membership card to
Chalmers dealers will identity the
bearer and win for him instant cour-
tesy and efficient service.
There are fifty thousand Chalmers
owners in this country and every one
Of them is eligible for membership

SUNDAYS JUNIOR SERMON

"Loyalty" was the subject of the
junior sermon Sunday morning in the
First Presbyterian church by the pas
tor, Carl H. Elliott. The text was
Joshua 1:16.
Mr.. Elliott said that we should be
loyal to our country. Benedict Arnold
is universally despised because he was
a traitor to his country. We should be
loyal to our friends. The story of
Damon and Pythias is precious because
it is the story of friends who were
ready to give their lives for each 9th
er.
Everyone should be loyal to principle.
VIM. l lloyd Garrison was friend of
the slave long before the majority Of
the people believed that the negro
should be free. He talked and wrote in
behalf of the slave with sndhpersistence
that people threw bad eggs at him and
prosecuted him in many ways. Long
afterward when the slave was free ant
nearly everybody believed as he did, 6
group Of his friends gave him golc
watch and when he rose to make lit
tie speech accepting it he said, eff thi'
were rotten egg I would know wha
to do with it.
We should be loyal to Jesus Over il
Armenia many Christian girls have beer
threatened with worse than death i
they would not become Mohammedans
Some of them have accepted the term
but very many have stuck to Jesus. 1
they are so loyal there where it is 81
hard, we should surely be true to Hin
here where it is so easy.

European War
Costs Postal Service
Millions Of Dollars

Washington, Dec. 13.-In his annual
report upon postal administration dur
ing the fiscal year 1915, Postmaster
General Burleson announces an audit
ed deficit of 81, ,333, 3,30S.97, caused by
the European war and large increases
of expenditures which were mandatory
under law. The cost of the war to the
postal service is estimated at
$2l, 100000.
The postmaster general states that
efficiency of service was placed above
cost consideration and that, notwith-
standing the adverse revenue condi-
tions, steady expansion and improve
ment of postal facilities have contin'
/ ued. However, he shows thoat the def
icit would have amounted to at least
$24 100000 but for the reorganization
of various branches of the service
along modern business lines begun be
/ fore the war started and continued
during the disturbed period.
OF the total deficit, Mr.. Burleson Z
analysis demonstrates that all b.
$309,6SS16 was the result of the in
creases Of salaries of postal employe
and additional railway mail pay requir
ed by law.
Extracts from the more importan
chapters Of the report follows:
The year ended June 30, 1915, wa
an abnormal one. Surpluses of $4,000,
900 and $3,500,000 were reported ant
covered into the treasury for the fisca
years 1913 and 1914, respectively
showing that the postal service ha'
been put upon self-su9taining basi
after a long period of annually reeur
ring deficits. Had normal condition
prevailed, q third successive surplu
would have been paid into the treasur,
