Besides Mrs. Roosevelt, the President was accompanied to Annapolis by Sec- retary and Mrs. Swanson, Col. Marvin H. McIntyre and Stephen T. Early of the secretariat and Capt. Walter N. Ver- nou and Col. Edward Watson, naval snd military aides. Ernest Lee Jahncke, former Assistant Becretary of the Navy, from a seat on the platform had the pleasure of wit- nessing his son receive his commission from the President’s hands. Probably the proudest man on the latform during the handing out of he diplomas was George Drescher of the ite House secret service, whose younger brother Carl was in the grad- uating class. The latter was educated in the public schools of Washington and graduated from Eastern High. He expects to enter the Georgetown Uni- | versity Law School next Fall.

CATLIN DIES WORLD WAR HERO |Retired Marine Officer Victim of Heart Attack After Long liiness. Brig. Gen. Albertus W. Catlin, U. 8. | M. C., retired, one of the outstanding | day at Culpeper, Va. after a heart attack |~ The officer, who made his home here |at 1502 Crittenden street, commanded | the famous 6th Regiment ¢f Marines | | during the World War. He played a conspicuous part in the battle of Belleau | Wood and was decorated for his service. ! On June 6, 1918, he was wounded in | action by a German sniper. | Gen. Catlin’s body was taken today to the 8. H. Hines funeral parlor at 2901 | Fourteenth street, At 10 a.m. Saturday | Gen. Catlin will be buried with fuil military honors in Arlington National Cemetery. Complete funeral arrange- ments have not been made. Surviving the soldier are his widow, Mrs. Martha Ellen Catlin, and three daughters, Mrs. Dorothy Darling, Mrs. Wimma C. Rose and Miss Martha Catlin. Gen. Catlin, who had been in ill health for & number of years, never fully re- covered from the sniper's bullet, which | entered his right chest. He summar- ized his war experiences in a book, which he called “With the Help of God and & Pew Marines.” Gen. Catlin was born December 1, 1868, in Rome, N. Y. He was com- missioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in July, 1802. Just prior to the war with Spain, he served aboard the U. 8. S. Maine, and | when that famous battleship was raised | in Havana harbor, years later, & num- ber of his personal effects were re- covered In 1911, Gen. Catlin was on expedi- tionary duty in Cuba and subsequently was appointed fleet marine officer and landed his command at Vera Crug, Mexico, in April, 1914. He then served on shore duty in that troubled port until later that year. On the eve of America’s entry into the World War—March, 1917—he was prometed to lieutenant colonel and in October of that year sailed from Phila- delphia in command of the 6th Regi- In June, 1918, he commanded the first attack on Belleau Wood and on the 6th of that month was wounded and removed o & hos- pital. He was transferred to the United States on sick leave, salling from Brest, France, in July, 1918, and later was promoted to brigadier general. For gallantry in action against the enemy in the early days of June, 1918, he was awarded the Croix de Guerre with palms and for qualities displayed in the capture and organization of Boureches and Belleau Wood, he was made an officer of the Legion of Honor. The Croix de Guerre with gilt star was given him just before he was ;\;)lu“lided‘ He was retired December 10, The citation for the Legion of Honor recites that Gen. Catlin was thrown into the thick of battle “on a front then under violent enemy attack,” but his brigade “tnmediately demonstrated that it was & unit of the first order,” resulting in capturing quantities of material, taking more than 500 prison- ers and inflicting severe enemy losses. The citation with the gilt star reads: “Commanded his regiment with preci- n and judgment which bore fruit in the operation up to June 6, 1918, in- clusive, then in directing in Belleau ‘Wood, where he was wounded by a bullet which went through his shoulder and lupg.” In addition, Gen. Catlin held the West Indian, Spanish Philippine, Cuban and Mexican campaign medals; in 1914 was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his “distinguished conduct. in battle” at Vera Cruz. The French government awarded him two diplomas. ruoooo’ooo,o’ooonmo« Authorized Service S Lockheed % Hydraulic Brakes MILLER-DUDLEY, 1116 144 ST.NW.
