In spite of absences at college and during the past eleven years abroad, he always regarded this as his home, and remained loyal to the many friendships of boyhood and early manhood. Early vears in Mexico, where father was a railroad official, gave him ease in meeting foreign people, a broad outlook, and a practical command of Spanish. After graduation from Yale, his father's alma mater, in 1902, two years were spent in Rio de Janeiro as clerk of legation under Charles Page Bryan, then minister to Brazil. Then he studied law at Harvard and specialized in international law. He practiced in Chicago for eight years, taking a live- ly interest in local affairs. In 1915 he decided to re-enter the government service, and his legal training and knowledge of languages, including Spanish, French, German, and Portu- ing. Among Revolutionists Mr. Johnson served as secretary of legation and as charge d'affaires suc- cessively. in Santo Domingo, Guate- mala, Costa Rica, and Venezuela. At each of these posts he showed tact, adaptability, and skill in smoothing out troublesome conditions. In Guatemala he aided in monetary reform. In Costa Rica he had to contend with a revolu- tionary government which Washing- A Miracle in the Medicine Line Dear Dr. Nabors: Until I discovered Dr. Nabors' a few months ago I experienced a severe cold every now and then, but I find that these tablets effectually put a stop to germ which I contract.

In Caracas he helped frame boundary treaties. In 1920-21 Mr. Johnson was in Washington at the Bureau of Latin | American republics, as assistant and as iacting chief. Offered any post in Europe, he chose Berlin and was first | secretary under Ambassador Houghton for two years, playing a useful and ac- | tive part in the diplomatic affairs of that reconstruction period. | Early in 1924 the state department needed a man at Cairo to cope with a situation needing careful handling. They picked Mr. Johnson. He was first secretary and during several years charge d'affaires, during absences of | Minister Howell. He was promoted to be Foreign Service Officer of Class 4. | Wins Host of Friends In Egypt Mr. Johnson won the con- fidence and esteem of the British and Egyptian officials and of the foreign | diplomatic corps. He and Mrs. John- son made many friends among them | and among the members of the Ameri- can community in both Cairo and Alexandria. He lent active interest and support to the Y. M. C. A. the Assiut university, and the Mission at Tanta, where an address which he had | prepared was read after his death at the dedication of a new building. Let- ters from the men and women in charge of these institutions and from diplomats and officials tell of their loss in his death and their respect and affection for him. Stewart Johnson found opportunity | for the use of fine talents. He never looked for personal or political pre- ferment, but tried to do his best at each post task assigned him. The government at home, officials abroad, trusted and depended upon him. He stood by his own convictions and by his own high standards, but could al- ways see and allow for differing view- points. A letter from the state de- partment said: "He is a very real loss to us. His ability was unquestionable. He was an unusually fine type of man and a gentleman through and through." In 1917 Mr. Johnson married Cather- {ine Haven ReQua of Chicago. Their | daughter, Catharine, was born seven years ago in Caracas. Mr. Johnson was a member of the Winnetka Con- gregational church and of the Univer- sity club. of Chicago.
