Colonel Who Wins 'Every
U. S. War Medal Since 1898
THANKS BUCKS
AND ENLISTED
MEN FOR MEDALS
Colonel Johnston Has Won Every
Medal Possible Dvrinq Past
27 Years
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—The most
• decorated officer of his rank in the
United States Army thanks the buck
privates, the cor; orals and the ser
geants of the United States army for
the many medals which ornament
his chest.
Me is Lieut.-Col. Gordon Johns- J
ton, now a student in t?.-a War Col- ,
lege at Washington. It seems a lit- I
tie strange in view of his military I
record that he should be just a stu- I
dent. To the layman, it would ap- I
pear more appropriate for Johnston 1
to be the head of the faculty.
Personal aid to Theodore Roose- 1
velt while “Teddy” was president, '
Johnston has enjoyed distinction in <
civilian as well as army life. I
As for honors within bis profes
sion as a soldier, he has been the
recipient of every medal it has been
within the power of his country to
confer since 1898.
“Thanks,” says Johnston, “to the j
men I have commanded.” i
It was in the Philippines that |
Johnston earned the congressional
Medal of Honor and the Distinguish
ed Service Cross, decorations which (
are awarded only for individual valor '
in battle.
Came the watch on the Mexican j
border. Johnston was placed in ,
command of the 12th Infantry of thy j
New York National Guard. This .
regiment became a model of military j
of military efficiency.
In the World War, Johnston won
the Distinguished Service Medal,
thus becoming one of the few sol
diers in American history entitled to
wear all three of the highest decora
tions the government grants.
He was chief of staff of the 82nd
Division, and his genius shared in the
credit for the rescue *of Lieut.-Col.
Whittlesey’s heroic “Lost Battalion.”
France made Johnston an officer I
of the Legion of Honor, he received
the insignia of the Imperia! Order of
Meiji, and other foreign decorations
have been conferred on him by Eng
land, China, Belgium and Italy.
Johnston's military distinction
runs in the blood. He is a grandson
of Robert Johnston, famous Confed
erate general.
There is an excellent reason, too,
for the close personal sympathy
which Col. Johnston has with the
army’s enlisted men—the fellows to
whom he gives the credit for his med
als.
He began his career as a soldier
by enlisting as a private in the

Former “buddies” of Col. Johns
ton pleased him greatly the other
day by inviting him to New York to
review the 212th Coast Artillery of
the New York National Guard. This
“outfit” under the name of the 12th
Infantry, saw service with Johnston
as its colonel during the days of
tense inquietude along the Rio
Grande.

PEANUT TARIFF
REVISION ASKED
i
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—Revis
ion of the important duties on shell
-1 ed and unshelled peanuts is asked in
a petition filed with the tariff com
mission for consideration under the
flexible provisions of the tariff act.
While rules of the commission pro
hibit disclosure of the identification
o fthe applicant, it was understood
today that those seeking modifica
tion of the rate represented the
1 Peanut Growers rather than import
; ers and that the revision sought is
I upward.
The commission has not taken ac
tion on th e application but it appear-
I ed likely that an investigation of the
I allegations made in the petition
i would be ordered at an early date.
The present rate on shelled pea
jnuts is 4 cents a pound and on un
shelled 3 cents a pound.
