Admiral Kidd, Who ForetoId
Sudden Jap Attack, Dies in One
Pearl Horbor Casualty
Was Well Known
In Washington

Rear Admiral Isaac Campbell
Kidd. whose death in action at
Pearl Harbor Sunday was an
nounced by the Navy Department
last evening, had consistently main
tanned that some day Japan would
strike suddenly at the United States.
No details of the engagement in
which his prediction came true and
he met his death were announced
by the Navy Department.
Rear Admiral Kidd was in COM
mand of battleship division of the
Pacific Fleet at the time Of his death.
His ship was not given.
Well known in Washington naval
circles, Admiral Kidd was head Of
the officer detail section of the Navy
Department Bureau of Navigation
from 1882 to 1885.

Since his high school days In
Cleveland, Ohio, where he was born,
Admiral Kidd was known as a stu
dent of Far Eastern affairs, particu-
larly Japanese. His topic at high
school graduation was The Yellow
Peril"
Often at the Naval Academy, from
which he graduated in 1905, Admiral
Kidd, known as Cap" Kidd to his
classmates, would discuss the men,
ace of Japan Japan was one nation
the United States would some day
be forced to fight, he often said,
predicting that when Japan struck
it would be sudden blow.
In later years, he made study
of Japanese characteristics, history
and naval strength.
At the Naval Academy he went
in for boxing and varsity football.
Genial and always of an unruffed
temperament, he was popular at
Annapolis and as detail officer here,
responsible for assigning naval per-
sonnel, he always tried to put Off
GERS in the right place and showed
unusual consideration for their
problems, trying to iron out the
difficulties that accompany sudden
shifts from place to place.

of Navy men. A brother, 1t. Comdr
Alexander c. Kidd of Baltimore,
retired in 1922 and at one time was
