CHIEFS OF THE FLEET OFF MEXICO
Badger, Mayo, Fletcher, Beatty, Bousch
and Howard Served Through the Strug
gle of 1898—All Born in the Fifties
When President Wilson ordered the '
entire naval force of the United States [
to the coast of Mexico twelve, flays ago j
he brought to the fore six rear ad- i
ml rain to direct Uncle Sam’s big guns j
on the scene of action. This half doz
en of naval officers is but little known [
to the people whom they served. The !
striking figures of the .Spanish Amcr
ican war, Dewey, Evans, Sampson,
Schley, find the rest, are either dead
or retired Their places have been
taken by younger men. who served
through the struggle of 1898, but Irf
humbler positions
Who They Are.
Rear Admiral Charles Johnston
Badger, commanding Atlantic fleet.
Rear Admiral Henry Thomas Mayo,
commanding 4th division, Atlantic
fleet.
Rear Admiral Frank Friday Finch
er commanding 3rd division, Atlantic
Rear Admiral Frank Kdmund Beat
tv, commanding Ist division, Atlantic
fleet.
Hear Admiral Clifford Joseph Roush,
commanding 2nd division, Atlantic
fleet.
Rear Admiral Thomas Benton How
ard, commanding in Pacific
Coast.
It Is a curious fact that all the 25
rear admirals of the navy were born in
the Fifties. Indeed one can go farther
and state that the eldest were born
In 1852 and the youngest In 1856. This
makes their ages range from about 58
to 62 years. Only one of the twenty
five was born south of Virginia and
none were born west of Wisconsin.
Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger ran
bis blue flag to the mast head of his
flagship in place of the pennant ot
Rear Admiral Hugo Osterhous at
Hampton Roads January 4, 1913, and
thereby assumed command of the Att
lantic fleet.
For 40 Years.
He had then been almost forty years
in the much varied, sometimes excit
ting, but oft oner humdrum duties of a
United States naval officer, lie was
essentially a man of the sea as ho had
spent more than twenty-four of his
total number of years in Uncle Sam’s
navy on duty aboard a crafts of some
sort or other.
He had been assigned to the South
Atlantic, to the South Pacific, to Asia
tic waters, to the Mediterranean, and
even to the Arctic Circle, when ho
was one of those in the dash to rescue
the Creely relief expedition.
Badger’s father, Commodore Oscar
Charles Badger, was horn In old Wind
ham, Conn., and married Miss Marga
ret M. Johnston, of Rockville, Mil.
which is fifteen miles from Washing
ton, and sometimes called the capital's
Gretna Green. Rear Admiral Badger
was born In Rockville, August 6, 1853.
Right here It Is appropriate to note
that there are three generations of
United States naval fighters in the
Badger family, for the Rear Admiral's
son ,1s Ensign Oscar C. Badger, one
of the young officers of the service.
The future rear admiral was ap
pointed to the Naval Academy by
President Grant in 1869 and was grad
uated as a midshipman in 1873.
Adventurous Trip.
A few months after leaving the Na
val Academy Midshipman Badger
started on an adventurous trip. He
was one of the Narragansett party,
which surveyed the Gulf of California
Then he was transferred to shore duty
at the Washington Navy Yord, which
was followed by a half year detail to
the torbedo boat Alarm. In Septem
ber IKTti, tie started for three years'
service at the Asiatic station.
Then came another detail ashore,
this time at the Bureau of Navigation
In Washington. He was a year aboard
the coast survey steamers Endeavor
und the A, I). Baohe.
In September, 1881, he was detailed
aboard the Ynntlc, which qualified
him ns one of the members of the cel
ebrated (ireenty relief expedition or
ganized three years later. Badger was
assigned to the Boston Navy Yard
when friends In the I'nlteO States be
gnn to fear for the safety of the tlreely
Arctic explorers. The spring of 1884
came without a word of the Lieuten
ant Then the relief expedition was
formed, under the late Winfield Scott
Schley, at that ttme a commander.
Lieutenant Badger was executive
officer, which steamed from New
York May 10, 1884, tn command of
Commander George W. Coffin.
Great Enthusiasm.
On their return to the I'nlted States
Commannder Schley and the other of
ficers of tlie rescue expedition were
received with great enthusiasm. The
State of Maryland, which counted sev
eral of the officers ns natives, com
mended them for their bravery and
young Lieutenant Badger was among
tthose mentioned In the resolutions
odoped unanimously by the Maryland
legislature.
In the Spanish war he was attach
ed to the Cincinnati and served with
credit, if fate gave him no chance of
great distinction. On March 3, 1899,
he was promoted to the rank of lieu
tenant commander Eight years Inter
he attained the rank of captain and
for two years after this promotion he
was superintendent at the Annapolis
Academy. Then he took command of
the battleship Arkansas and on March
S. 1911, he became a reur admiral and
received the command of the second
division of the Atlantic fleet.
Hear Admiral Frank Friday Fletcher
is slightly better known than his su
perior, for he has Invented several
Important ordnance devices which
brought him before the public.
Fsmout Invention.
Among these Inventions are the fa
: moua Fletcher breech closing mechan
ism, a gun mount, which is an ar
! rangement of truncated cones on a
j roller path so reducing friction that a

Fletcher graduated from Annnpolts
In 1875. and was astgned to the Tus*
carora. which surveyed a submarine
route for a trans-Pacific cable. Here
he developed hie aclentlflc bent, lie
was later aboard the Tonconderga,

Demanded 21 Guns.
Rear Admiral Henry Thomas Mayo, I
whose demand for a twentylone gun
salute in reparation for the Insult to '
the Stars and Stripes at Tampico pre
cipitated the crisis, is the youngest of
the twenty-five rear admirals. He
was appointed to the Naval Academy I
when fifteen years old. He was born
December 8, 1868.
Mayo has harl a total sea service of
twenty-three years and two months.
This figured prominently when he
came before the examining board as
the first candidate for the rank of
Rear Admiral under Secretary Dan
iels’ plan, July 17„ 1913. The board,
Consisting of Rear Admiral Badger.
Rear Admiral Winslow and Rear Ad
miral Nathaniel R. Usher, found him
fit for promotion and he was shortly
transferred from the post of aide for
personnel of the Navy Department to
the Naval War College at Newport in
order tt, obtain certain Important in
formation before taking charge of the
fourth division of the Atlantic fleet.
He has had his command since De
cember 18, last.
Rear Admiral Frank E. Realty, who
was at tlie head of the fourth divis
ion, was horn in Wisconsin in 1853
and graduated from the Annapoll
Academy in 1875. He married Anne
Meem, of Virginia in 1891. He was
in command on the trip of the flo-t
around the world In 1908, and later
commander of the battleship Wiscon
sin, of the navy yard at Washington
and superintendent of the naval gun
factory.
Second Division.
Rear Admiral Clifford Joseph Roush,
commanding the second division of
the Atlantic fleet, was 4iorn in Virgin
ia in 1854 and appointed to Annapolis
in 1872. He has held his present
command since October 22, last.
The presence of Rear Adihjral
Thomas Renton Howard as comman
der of (tie American squadron off tho
Pacific Mexican coast is a curious
echo of the Carabao banquet squab
ble. Howard was chairman of the
banquet committee of the naval so
ciety and one of those on whom the
administration wrath descended for
the alleged affront to the Filipinos and
to Secretary of .State William J. Rry
an. Had been ordered to the command
of the Asiatic fleet, but now Secretary
Daniels revoked the order and sent
him to Mexico.
Secretary Daniels explained he did
not want to punish Admiral Howard
but did not think it politic to send him
to the Philippine*
As it turns out Howard is apparent
ly in for an active time, which is what
all naval officers long for, while the
Asiullc post would have been stupid in
comparison.
By Pres’t. Grant.
Rear Admiral Howard was horn in
Galena, Illinois, in 1854. and was ap
pointed to tho Academy by President
Grant. He graduated in 1873. In 1879
he married Anne J. Claude, of An
napolis.
Howard was navigator of the Con
cord at the Rattle of Manila Ray in
the Spanish war He saw much ser
vice before hostilities were over, being
on the vessels which were used against
the insurgents. He commanded the
caraval Pinta on Its trip from Rar
celona to Havana in 1892-3, in cele
bration of the four hundredth anniver
sary of Christopher Columbus’ voyage,
lie commanded the fourth division of
the Atluntic Squadron from 1910 to
1912.

the Soldier 9 s Favorite Song
The dames of France are fond and

And Flemish lips are willing.
And soft the maids of Italy,
And Spanish eyes are thrilling;
Still though 1 bask beneath their smile,
Their charms fall to bind me,
And my heart falls hack to Erin’s isle,
To the girl I left behind me.
For she's as fair as Shannon’s side,
And purer than its water,
But she refus’d to be my bride,
Though many a year I sought her;
Vet, since to France I sail'd away,
Her letters oft remind me,
j That I promis’d never to gainsay
j The girl I left behind me.
She says: "My own dear love, come
home.
My friends are rich and many,
, Or else abroad, with you I’ll roam,
A soldier stout as any;
; If you’ll not come, nor let me go.
