London. Oct, 27. (U. P.) British

enemy destroyers were sunk.
It la feared that one of the British
destroyers was lost, the admiralty

Mrs. Robinson repeated again and
again that the struggle in the present
campaign is between humanity, as rep
resented by President Wilson, and the
dollar mark. She declared that the
privilege-seeking group Is In control of
the Republican party, "and could have

Harvard Professor
Supports President
L. j. Johnson, BrogTsiT-BpvbUeJ,
Consider Effort to Betas t Wilson on
Far With right Against Xdacoln.
Cambridge. Mass., Oct. 27. Lewis J.
Johnson, professor of civil engineering
at Harvard, and a Progressive-Republican,
pays the following high tribute
to President Wilson:
"In 1912 I voted the Progressive
ticket. Today, with unchanged polit
ical principles, I gladly support Presi
dent Wilson, for I consider the WilMun
led forces the most potent progressive
agency In the field. Moreover, I con
sider Mr. Wilson the one of all the
candidates best fitted to lead this na
tion with safety and honor through
the next four years, and to make tlila
nation of increasing service in the ad
vane ot civilization and in bringing
nearer the permanent happiness of all
peoples. In short, I consider the effort
to change president in the present
crisis as on a par with the similar ef
fort to oust Abraham Lincoln in 1864,
and I hope It will be even more deci
sively defeated."
