TUESDAY .AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 24. 1925 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 O 1^ —flnilvlii In our general busi ness course we (O , vv| teach you all of the M If-1 essentials and details |d that go into the Ud making of a business I day.
