though his employers had made 1t clear
to him that he would have to seek posi-
ton elsewhere unless he voted against
certain measures recommended by Gcver-
nor Wilson.
In the Presidential campaign Mr.. Will
son took the conduct OF Walsh in being
faithful to his trust at a great personal
sacrifice as n text for n number Of his
speeches The friendship and support Of
Mr.. Wilson won for Walsh. who had been
employed by an electrical company a an

the attention of the State Department,
is expected TO be the first of many such
differences.
Great Britain is prepared to make a
strong fight against The increase of the
American merchant marine. In the case
Of the Robert Dollar, which is being held
at Rio de Janeiro, pending the settle

can owned ship under American regis

transfer, however, 1t is reliably reported
England will refuse to acknowledge the
new registry.
TIE State department admits that the
situation is a delicate one. The Admin
istrations wish to increase the merchant
marine is swaylng the department, out
the fear of the seizure of the vessel
on the high seas by either German or
English ships is causing worry.
Should the ship be taken. either or

CLOSE GREENWICH
CREOSOTE PLANT
Other Railroads Forced to
Such Action Because of
War, but Pennsy Has
Years Supply of Oil.

Despite the fact that importations of
creosote oil, used by the railroads in creo-
soting ties, have been almost entirely cut
off by the European war, causing the
plants of several railroads in the Middle
West to close down, the Pennsylvania
Railroad announced today that the COM
pany has enough OF this kind of oil to
treat all the ties 1t needs.
A week before the war began, the
Pennsylvania Railroad received a ship
load of the oil from Germany, from
which country the best brand is obtained.
This was divided between the company's
two creosotng plants, one at Greenwich
Point and the other at Mount Union.
Pa. When this supply of oil is exhausted
the company will use the domestic
product. The company has large supply
Of ties on hand at both plants. which
is now ready for treatment.
Vt was announced today that the creo-
sotlng plant of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroad. at West Denison, Tex,
had been closed because the company's
principal sources of supply of oil, Ger
many and England, had been cut off.

Pennsylvania Railroad from Pittsburgh
