 Postmaster John P Murphy was ad- vised Thursday from Washington that be- cause of the decided and long continued depreciation of the currency of certain European countries as Compared with the and after Aug. 15, and until further mo- tice, postmasters in issuing international money orders shall convert the money of newly revised schedules. The new sched- ules make the following conversion allow ances:
 Great Britain. 1 pound S4; Neither lands, florin. $ cents Sweden. 1 krona. 24 cents: Denmark. 1 krona. 20 cents Norway, 1 krona. % cents; France, Bel sium and Italy, $1 is rated at the value of 1o.50 francs.
 Depreciation in foreign currency has been noted by banks and business houses for many months, but the government through it's postal conversions has contin- ued to maintain the old standards until it became very evident that there was a likelihood of a protracted delay in return ing to the former face values. The Eng fish pound was formerly rated at S4S7 by the government but in business circles it has fuctuated between s and $4 during the last two or three years.

Whether the desperate financial straights of the Connecticut company's trolley lines, as revealed Thursday at the hearing in Hartford before the pub lie utilities commission when the com pany was asking for a seyen-cent fare, would apply to the New London divi- sion of the company. which operates the trolley lines in this end of the state, could not be told by local officials of the division Thursday night Nor could they tell whether the seven-cent fair application was meant to apply here in case the public utilities commission granted it.
 Superintendent Samuel Anderson said he had no information on the subject other than what he had seen in the pa pers as all these matters were handled at the New Haven offices of the com pauy.
 In a. statement before the utilities con- mission, Judge Walter C. Moves, chair man of the roads board of federal trus- tees. told the commissioners that the road had gone behind on operating ex- penses Ss7,000 in the six weeks from June 1 to July 15, and at that rate the cars could not possibly be kept run ming for more than two months longer and probably not for six weeks more. | President Storrs of the trolley com pany declared that they lost s5o,0oo ir Bridgeport in June and $S1,o0O over tht rest of the system.

STATE NATIONAL GUARD
 NUMBERS ONLY esq NOW

Connecticut has about 250 members of the National Guard, according to figures given out at the office of the adjutant general Thursday. The men are in the two cavalry troops-Troop A of New Ha- ven and Troop B of Hartford-and the field artillery battery at Brqnford. The battery has not yet been foimally must cred into the National Guard, but at the time it was inspected it was unofficially announced that the battery was satis- factory.
 It is believed that the press of work at northeastern department headquarters as the result, of the examination of re- serve officers for commissions has re- suited in the delay of the report on the Branford unit. Captain William R. Den nison, of Norwich, who served with the Fifty-Sixth heavy artillery in which the coast artillery units of tfe old Connecti- cut National Guard were merged when the war broke out, now has company oi eishty-one men at Norwich ready to be inspected for the National Guard on next Tuesday.
 The National Guard of the country is at present 12s.0c0 men Short of its au. thorized strength. New York state which has 1885 men has the largest en. rollment of any state. but still has only about one-third of it's quota The guard IS increasing at thG rate of about S,00C men a month, ac g)rding to figures is sued at Washington, which means tha 1t will take fourteen months to fill the ranks of the National Guard to it's au thorized strength. Only twenty-thre, states have over 500 National Guards men in service.
