Col. Edwin Watson
.IsSwornIn as Army
Brigadier General
New Roosevelt Secretary
Receives Liggett Stor
From Gen. Craig

Col. Edwin M. Watson, chief mill
tary aide to President Roosevelt and
latest addition to the White House
secretariat, was sworn in today as
a brigadier general of the Army.
The ceremony was performed In
Secretary Watson's Office in the
presence of Gen. Malin Craig, chief
of staff of the Army; Col. James
Burns, assistant to the Assistant
Secretary of War and a West Point
classmate of Gen. Watson, and a
small group of newspapermen.
The oath was administered by
Mai. Gen. Allen w. Gullion, judge
advocate general of the Army.
Gen. Craig, after the oath had
been administered, reminded the
new Army brigadier Of the old Army
tradition that 1t is bad luck for a
general to war a new star on his
shoulder for the first time. There
fore, Gen. Craig presented Gen.
Watson with an old star formerly
worn by the late 1t. Gen. Hunter
Liggett, who commanded the First
Army of the A. E. F. in France.
Gen. Watson was not in uniform,
but assured Gen. Craig of his appre-
citation of the gift.
When President Roosevelt nolni-
mated Col. Watson to be a briga-
dier general several weeks ago it
was announced that Col. Watson,
who had served 80 years in the
Army, although only Sc years of
age, would retire Immediately after
his promotion and devote himself
to the secretarial duties formerly
carried out by James Roosevelt. The
nomination was confirmed, but then
