The European war. according to Mr.
Storey, will have at leas. one direct ef-
feet that will hinder the railroads. The
railroads in the United States have
been buying nearly all OF their creosote
from Germany. The creosote is an i'm

as all ties have to be soaked with
creosote. Now the supply has been
cut on. There is some creosote in this
country, but it is Of inferior quantity
and quality and the railroads will feel
the need Of it.
