die enormous quantities of nitrates to
Atlantic ports.
After shipping conditions had been
turned topsy turvy by the demand for
bottoms to carry munitions. horses and
food to the allies. they assert, the
chartcrers notified them that they
would be unable to carry out the con-
tract Freight rates had gone soaring
In transatlantic trade every available
ship was being pressed into service.
The nitrate contract. declare the
complainants, had called for freight
rate OF SIS ton. At the time the

Amsterdam Street Car Service.

The electric street car service of Amsterdam is municipally owned and managed. Its annual receipts are nearly $2000,000, with a profit of about 10 per cent. No deficit has ever occurred under the city management. The lines of cars are numbered from one to 19, and have a total of 40 miles of track. The cars bear their re- spectiye numbers and signs to show the starting and terminal points and important intermediate places. When the routes are known, however, the lines are always referred to by their numbers. The trolley support is formed of two arms, about two feet apart from the base up to near the top, where the space widens to about four feet, the width of the horizontal rod which touches and travels along the overhead wire. Thus there is never the trouble of delay caused by the trolley getting off the wires, as where a wheel is used. Between the arms of the trolley-support hangs the number of each line, in large figures plainly visible several hundred feet distant. The number is also shown against glass at each end of the car
 and is illuminated at night. This sys- tenn of numbering, which is believed to have originated in Amsterdam, is now extending widely over Europe.
