MAJOR GENERAL TEDDY. a dog -
part chow and part general merchan-
disc" - is the flying mascot of the
United States Army's Seventh Bonn
bardment Group at Salt Lake City.
Teddy earned his title with record
now totaling more than 700 flying
hours. But he is best-known as the
only major general ever to bite an
Assistant Secretary of War.
The famous attack" occurred in
1898 during a flight from Portland.
Oregon. to March Field, California.
Assistant Secretary of War Louis
johnson was eating sandwich, and
the four-legged Major General invited
himself to lunch, nipping the Secre-
tary's leg to announce his presence.
The tactics were unorthodox. but the
amiable Teddy and Secretary John
son soon became close friends.
CITATION. Upon learning that the
dogs hours aloft were recorded on
official records, johnson promised
Teddy citation when he attained 500
flying hours. In April, 1899, the 1900
men of the bombardment group
cheered their stocky, stump tailed
mascot as he received the following
award, signed by Johnson:
This is to certify that Teddy is here
by awarded this Distinguished Flying
Dogtihcate for especial performance
while participating in aerial flights
TEDDY'S EQUIPMENT matches his
distinguished flying record. The red
dish-brown dog wears his own spe-
ially-oonstructed parachute, and when
on duty sports a royal-blue uniform

WHAT ONE AMERICAN
DIDN'T KNOW
bY Levere1t SaItonsfal
Governor Of Massachusetts

bulging as he looked at the city of Boston.
He was afraid the ''rabble" would wreck the
city. But where few dusty streets used to
wind through the little town in his day, he
would see the great metropolis that free
and industrious people have built Where the
brackish waters of the Back Bay used to
hem in the town, he would see busy streets,
fine buildings, green parks < great exten-
sion of the city, built by free men who drove
the water back.
Va could take him out to other parts of
Massachusetts, - perhaps to Lexington and
Concord. The great industrial sections and
the cities of homes through which we would
pass which we of this generation take for
granted, as if they had always been there -
would surely fill him with wonder The great
institutions of learning past which we would
ride would, suspect, impress him as even
more significant tributes to the faith of the
Patriots than the memorial we have built
to them by "the rude bridge that arched the
flood" where they stood and fought.
And 50 could take him all over Our Com
monwealth. and beyond our borders to any
part of America, and show him land abloom
with the fruits of Liberty. But would want
to show him more l would want to take him
into American homes, and show him how
free people live - better than any other
people have ever lived before. | would want
to take him into our legislative chambers
and our courts, and show him how a free
people conduct their government with an
orderly procedure that recognizes the dig
nifty and welfare of the ordinary man as para
mount would want to take him into our
schools, and show him how our children -
all of our children - are getting part of their
inheritance of Liberty in being taught how
to use it. | would want to take him, though
somewhat sadly, to our training camps and
show him our sons, with the spirit of Our
forefathers, staunchly ready to defend the
Liberty that has made our country the envy
of the world greater, even, than the most
ardent Patriot dreamed in IT'S And would
want to take him into our churches, where
people of many faiths and creeds are free to
worship God in their own way.
All this l would show to my Loyalist
predecessor, not to censure him - for at this
distance we can forgive men for not reading
the future Alright - but to refresh my own
faith, to see through his eyes things that be-
come blurred by constant seeing.
And l would say to him: 'Sir, there are
still men in this world who do not trust the
average man, who rail at democracy as un-
sound, who crush it where they can Britain,
which was skeptical when you were, knows
today how bitterly wrong those men are;
is fighting them in war to the very death.
And in America, we know that dark days
for democracy are ahead. But we the people,
the plain people, face the future with faith
undimmed."
