Mr.. Johnson is without peer be-
fore court and jury alike. But,
with all his success, Mr., Johnson
is modest and retiring and cannot

stretched hand OF want has never
been turned away by him. II
would astonish our readers were
we able to give the total OF his ben

that he has lived here No public
enterprise has gone without his as
sistance, and many civic movement
has owed its successful conclusion
to Mr.. Johnson's putting his shoul-
der to the wheel and taking the
lead.
Much as Mr.. Johnson would ap-
preciate the honor OF being elected
United States senator, he is never
theless sincere in making the state
ment that he would much rather
carry Carter County than to receive
the majority in the whole state, for
he would rather receive the votes
and support OF those who know,
love and respect him, than to win
the office by the votes OF thousands
who know him not.
To show the high esteem in which
Mr., Johnson is held by leading dem
ocrats OF this state, we remind our
readers OF the fact that he served
as Lieutenant-Colonel on the staff
OF Governor Lee Cruce during Mr..
Cruces entire administration. Mr..
Johnson was offered by Governor
Williams a position in the supreme
court commission, but was forced to
decline same for business reasons.
The Admoreite, OF course, is

the generous support that the Re
publlcans OF this section have in
the past accorded Lee Crucc in the

Urging the Importance of continued

ting that an emergency now exists,
Louis La Beaume director Of publicity
on Red Cross activities, has sent the
following message to every chapter in
the United States:
After the Italian reverses in late Octo-
Der, an emergency call was issued to the
women Of America. The response to
this earnest plea for more workers

war department accounting for all ex-
cept 1l3 of the 2,15G American sol
dirrs aboard the Tuscania when she was
summarized Tuesday night, remained
unchanged today and officials anNiously
awaited additional details which were
expected to clear up the figures on for

Cablcd press dispatches from an Irish
port last night saying that the bodies
Of fortyfour soldiers, battered beyond
recognition, had been washed ashore
fifteen miles from the scene of the
torpcdolng, dampened hope that the
troop losses would prove very small.
According to figures given i'm earlier
press dispatches, only l0l Of those
aboard, including soldiers, members of
the crew and passengers were missing.
No attempt was being made thus
far to prepare a list Of the lost or miss
ing. Only names of few survivors
have been received, and indications to-
day were that survivors would con
tinue to come in slowly as they are
assembled in ireland by representatives
Of the war, state and navy departments

the commission that he was beratOd

Captain Browne told the commission
of listening to uhlan major who
