JOHNSTON ANSWERS
CARMICHAEL STATEMENT

Montgomery, January 1o.-(Speciai) Ed
ward ID. Johnston local option candidate
FOR the speakership, gave out statement
late tonight in which he declared that
Governor-elect Henderson is justified in
the stand he has taken regarding the
organization of the Legislative bodies, and
that Woodrow Wilson, as governor and
as President, has dignifed for all time
the common sense conclusion that the ex-
ecutive. without a harmonious organiza-
ton of house and senate is helpless and
his party's platform mere waste paper"
Mr. Johnston's statement was issued in
answer to a brief declaration made by A.
II. Carmichael, prohibition candidate that
GoVernor-elect Henderson's position had
served to strengthen the prohibition
cause.
Following is the statement:
IF the national House and Senate had
organized on a rule or ruin national pro-
hibition basis after Woodrow Wilson was
elected on the Baltimore platform and
had defied the President to carry out the
pledges of the party and had threatened
to strip him of his prerogative until their
rlans should be fulfilled, the country
would have consigned the democratic
party to deserved and permanent dis
grace.
MY opponent and those who have made
are trying to do that thing to the Hen
derson administration and every democrat
Knows that the governor-elect Is justi-
fled in resenting the attempt Woodrow
wilson, as governor and as President has
dignified for all time the common sense
conclusion that the executive without a
harmonious organization of House and
Senate, is helpless, and his party's plat
form mere waste paper
Il have made no foolish claims | be-
lieve that l shall be elected speaker by
a decisive majority of members who have
old-fashoned ideas about public duty The
nervous repetition of the claim that my
opponents have enough so-called pledges
to assure success Is belied by their anx-
iety. If l had received pledges given
me on personal basis and had then al
lowed my candidacy to be absorbed in
a scheme to sidetrack the entire pro-
gramme of my party under the circum-
stances under which my opponents are
now endeavoring to sdetrack the policies
of the incoming administration, should
be ashamed to hold my friends to the
bargain and l should be ashamed of my
friends if they expected me to do it.
Il should like for my opponent to state
in obtaining any of these So
called pledges, he stated to the member
whose support he solicited that his can
dicacy would be one part of scheme,
both house and senate, to Jam
through the legislature a plan foreign to
and inconsistent with the pledges of the
administration, and one which
'. ould be regarded by the governor-elect
as a deliberate effort to trick the peo-
ple?"

BIG GUNS PROVE
SUPREME IN WAR
Official Observer Tells How
Artillery Does Its
Work

London, January 100 p. m.)-The of
fetal observer attached to British head
quarters at the front points out in a re-
port given out today how heavy guns
have been proved of supreme Importance
in modern warfare.
Experiences in this war have caused
many notifications of theories commonly
held before" he says, but no factor was
so underestimated as the effect of high
explosive projectiles fired by guns and
Howtzers.
The opening of the war found the allies
in position of inferiority in this respect,
an inferiority which, however, has since
been made good.
THE gunner, and more especially the
garrison gunner. has come into his own,
for this arm of the service has assumed
Importance greater probably than it ever
before possessed and certainly greater
than it has since the time of Napoleon
For the last 100 years against troops in
the field, artillery has, generally speak,
ing, been depended upon to create moral
effect rather than any great material
result, and it has been reserved for this
war to prove that it is the chief agent
in destroying the enemy's power of re-
sistance.
1T is extremely hard to conceal the
position of trenches from aerial observ-
ers, and once their positions is dis
closed to the gunners and the exact
range obtained it is not long before whole
lengths of trenches will be blown in and
entanglements and every form of obsta-
Gle, however ingenious, swept away.
The allied artillery, gradually is as

only questions of procedure are con-

England is caring for approximately
100000 dependent Belgians France is af-
fording refuge to several thousand.
Lady Lugard, prominent in caring for
Belgians in England, says England finds

and economic problems involved The
Belgian government does not wish the
Belgians to be handled in such manner
that they will settle permanently in
England. 1t wants all it's factory workers
and farmers back as soon as the war is
over Furthermore, English labor unions
oppose employment of Belgians where
