Praised for Devotion to Duty.

When the city of Norfolk, Va, was threatened with the complete destruc- tion by fire of It's thriving business section early in January. every avail able are-fghtIng force at hand and from nearby towns was called into the battle. At the height of the fire the enlisted men of the United States navy on duty at the navy yard and in the harbor were called on to help not only In subduIng the flames but con trolling the crowds. To a man they gave splendid account of themselves. Among these men was John Joseph Mclaughlin. a chief boatswain's mate. Although he had worked all night, had narrow escapes and was drenched to the skin with ice-cOld water, McLOugh- lin declined a relief when It was of. tered and remained on duty cOntinu- ously until the. danger was passed. For this conspicuous service he has been commended by Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Mclaughlin enlisted in the navy in 1908 at New York.
