HONOR ROLL VET Nunia R. Tourtelot Attains the Largest Continuous Service Credit on P. R. R. Philadelphia, Dec. B. Nunia R. Tourtelot, of Hammonton, N. J., hav ing reached the age of seventy years, was retired on November 1, under the pension regulations of the Penn sylvania Railroad, with a record of fifty-eight years and nine months' service on the railroad. This is the longest continuous rec ord of service ever attained by an employe of the Pennsylvania Rail-; road, and were it not for the sev enty-year age limit restriction he would have been continued in his position as chief clerk of the local i ticket department of the passenger, department in Broad Street Station. ; His nearest rival, In point of active 1 service, was Clark Pidcock, who was j retired in October, 1916, with a rec- I ord of fifty-eight years and three' months. Mr. Tourtelot was born in Cam- 1 den, N. J., on October 2, 1849. He ; started to work as messenger boy i in the telegraph office of the Cam den and Amboy railroad at Camden, N. J., in January, 1861, when he was j not quite twelve years of age. Due, i no doubt ,to the fact that the man- : power of the nation was being heav- ! ily drawn upon at that time on ac- j count of the war, he was promoted to the position of operator the fol lowing year. In this position he re mained until September 16, 1871, when he was transferred to the tele graph office of the West Jersey and j Seashore Railroad and promoted to I chief operator. . Comes to Philadelphia In December, 1873, Mr. Tourtelot was transferred to the passenger de partment of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad, where he served as clerk until April, 1875. The fol lowing month he was transferred to the local ticket department of the Pennsylvania Railroad which was then located In the old offices in South Fourth street. On July 1, 1881, he was made chief clerk of that department, which job he held until the date of his retirement. For over forty-four years he was em ployed in the local ticket department of the passenger department, during thirty-eight of which he was chief clerk. It is impossible accurately to esti mate the number of tickets issued during the first year Mr. Tourtelot was in charge of the department, but during one year, 1918, he had print ed and distributed about eighty-four million regular tickets local to the Pennsylvania railroad system, and over five million baggage checks, special delivery tickets, C. O. D„ claim checks, package and storage stamps. Mr. Tourtelot lives in Ham monton, N. J. He is in excellent health. Pennsy Men Improve; Home From Hospital I. B.

I SEVERANCE OF RELATIONS OPPOSED [Continued from First Page.] no further action on the Mexican situation would be taken by the committee. "We wanted to help," Senator Dodge said, "but now the entire situation goes to the President. The responsibility is upon his shoulders. Let It rest tile re. It was expected Senator Fall would make public during tho day the evi dence upon which he based his reso -1 lution requesting the severance of diplomatic relations. His Letter The President's letter to Senator Fall follows: "Thank you very much for your kind promptness in complying with my request that you send me a copy of the memorandum report of the subcommittee on Mexican affairs of the Committee on Foreign Af fairs. I shall examine it with the greatest interest and care. What you told me of tha investigation on Friday last, prepares me to find in it matter of the greatest impor tance. Reversal of Praetlee "You ask an indication of my de sire with regard to the pending res olution to which you and Senator Hitchcock called my attention on Friday, and I am glad to reply with the utmost frankness that I should be gravely concerned to see any such resolution pass the Congress. It would constitute a reversal of our constitutional practice which might lead to very grave confusion in regard to the guidance of our foreign affairs. I am confident that I am supported by every com relent conffiltutional authority in the statement that the initiative in di recting the relations of our govern ment with foreign governments is assigned by the constitution to the Executive and the the Executive only. Only one of the two houses of Con gress is associated with the Presi dent of the constitution in an ad visory capacity and the advice of the Senate is provided for only when sought by the Executive in regard to explicit agreements with foreign governments and the ap pointment of the diplomatic rep resentatives who are to speak for this government at foreign capitals. The only safe course, I am confi dent, is to adhere to the prescribed method of the constitution. We might go very far afield if we de parted from it. "I am very much obliged to you for having given me the opportunity to express this opinion. "Very truly yours, (Signed) "WOODROW WILSON. "HON. ALBERT B. FALL, "United States Senate."
