Americas Famous Fighting Families

graduate of the Naval Academy and an
authority on ordnance in his time.
Vice Admiral Joseph Knefier Taussig,
whose grandfather emigrated to st. Louis
from Germany, commanded the first di-
vision of destroyers sent abroad during
the last World War and is now on duty
in Washington. His father was Rear
Admiral Edward David Taussig, who
took possession of Wake Island in the
name of the United States. Vice Ad-
miral Taussigs brother, Charles A. Taus-
sig, was the youngest commissioned
Marine officer during the Spanish-Amer-
lean War; another brother, Paul Edward
Taussig, died while a second classnaan
at the Naval Academy.
Rear Admiral Taussig was on duty
near africa, Peru now Chilean port)
during the great quake and tidal wave
there in 1868 and was commended for
rescue work. By coincidence, his son,
Vice Admiral Taussig, received the Order
of Merit of Chile for his heroic work
in connection with an earthquake at that
South American country.
Thirteen Medals
1t Joseph Knefler Taussig, jr., % years
old, was awarded the Order of the Pur-
pie Heart a short while ago for wounds
suffered in the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor; the order was pinned on him
at Newport by his father, the vice
admiral. Two days later, Vice Admiral
Taussig received the same order for
similar wounds received 43 years before,
in the Boxer Rebellion of China. 1t.
Taussig also was given the Navy Gross
at Newport ceremonies, but he will have
many more to get before reaching the
l3-medal total achieved by his father.
Rear Admiral Hugo Wilson Osterhaus
is the son of Rear Admiral Hugo Oster-
haus, one-time st. Louisan, who died in
1927. The present rear admiral has a
son in the Navy, 1t. q. g. Hugo w.
Osterhaus.
Maj. Robert L. Denig and Second 1t.
James L. Denig of the Marines are the
sons of Brig. Gen. Robert L. Denig, di-
rector of public relations in the Marine
Corps, and the grandsons of Commodore
Robert G. Denig of the Marines, who
fought In the Civil War and Spanish
American War.
There are, OF course, numerous other
outstanding naval and Army families
whose roots can be traced back through
the years. Their stories do not end here.
Their sons and their sons sons may
carry on the tradition, so long as there
Is need for democracy's might to de-
fend the freedom of man.

By Edward A. Harris.

The brittle, heel-clicking Prussian mil
itary caste, fortunately, has no counter
part in this Nation. 1t is automatic that
we have never been a country of agrees
sion for the sake of aggressing, Of
naughty war lords and monocled Junk
ers. Yet the men threatening Europe
today and pressing back the Jap hordes
in the jungles of the Central Solomons
are living proof that the deadliest fight
ing machines may we'll stem from the
more democratic, peace-loving countries.
Nonetheless, it is interesting to note
that the United States does have its
military families, its ancestral lines that
have struck trenchant blow for liberty
from Revolutionary and Civil War days
down to the present conflict.
Names long honored in the pages of
American history crop up in the head
lines of the day, tying up the past with
the present. Not long ago 1t. Col. John
B. Sherman, granddaughter of Gen. Will
liam T. Sherman, was serving as aide
de-camp to the commander of the Wash
ington Brigade He became acquainted,
in the course of his duties, with 1t. Col,
Thomas Jefferson Davis then aide-Qe-
camp to the Chief of Staff.
From the Deep South
While not related to the Confederate
president, Davis was a product of the
deep South and the son of a Southern
soldier Then major, he tWitted young
Sherman, a captain at that time, merci-
lessly about the latters bandit uncle"
and demanded payment for two pigs he
claimed Gen. Sherman's soldiers had
stolen from his fathers farm back in
1864.
Capt. Sherman absorbed the ribhing
for while Then one day he appeared
at the Office of the Chief of Staff with
squealing pig under each arm. He
handed them to the startled Davis and
demanded receipt for settlement Of
the long standing debt. About this time
the pigs scrambled wildly to the floor and
fed with loud "oinks" down the solemn
corridors of the old War and Navy build
ing, with officers and clerks in hot pur-
suit.
Take as a typical instance, the case
of 1t. Col. Harry Bertsch, in command
Of battalion in the 82nd Division, a
battalion that participated in the recent
spectacular air-borne landings in Sicily.
He is the son of the late Col. William
Bertsch. who served In the Spanish
American War and World War I. The
latter's widow Is the daughter Of Capt.

age of rs years and died March o. 1855.
In the 300 block of Seventeenth street
formerly stood a house erected in 1927
by John Quincy Adams when Secretary
of State under President Monroe. 1t
was one Of the first pebble dash houses
in the city, and was occupied in the
'40s by Capt. John Peabody, who
previously had resided on q street be-
tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets. In the same neighborhood.
SCOTS Quarters
At the southwest corner OF Seven
tenth and F streets still stands q
building, somewhat enlarged since It
was first erected, along in the sos, by
Gen. Nathan Towson, paymaster gen.
eral Of the Army. Later 1t became the
headquarters of Gen. Winfield Scott.
and afterward it served the same pur-
pose for Gen. U. S. Grant. The Red
Cross occupied the building from 1892
to 1897.
And then, right around the corner at
Eighteenth street and New York avenue.
Is the famous Octagon House, occupied
in 1914 by the French Minister, M.
Serurier, and for awhile 1t was also
occupied by President Madison. and
here the treaty of Client was signed.
The building was built by John Tayloe
in 1900 from designs by DR.. william
Thornton.
One of the first business enterprises
in Washington was started In this part
OF the city, when about 1909 glass
factory was put in operation, approx
mately on the site of the National
Academy Of Sciences Building, Consti-
tuition avenue between Twenty-first and
Twenty second streets.
One can hardly imagine at this date
the magnitude Of this plant. which
at one time employed as many as 125
hands, who were paid good salaries,
which enabled them to live just a little
better than the majority OF people then
living in Washington. At one time the
profits Of the firm reached $4,000 a
year which, If expressed in the value
of our money today. would be at least
four or five times that amount.
Many of the families connected WITH
the industry owned their own homes
and are said to have taken the greatest
amount of pride in their cottages, I'M
proved them with porches and verandas
and covered and surrounded them with
vines, flowers and trees. One colored
family named Tasker, referred to by
Mr.. Hardness, had a cottage completely
covered with an immense multi1ora
running rose, and the home, too was
marvel Of neatness and cleanliness.

equally as many, or more. who do not give
credence to such matters. But the Car

Mrs. Mattingly was mysteriously restored
to health from seemingly incurable
disease when the ailment had reached
such stage that she was bedridden. An
old newspaper clipping, before the

cure, which is highly interesting, even If
the reader may still he skeptical and has
his doubts. The story follows:

the Prince Hohenlohe had already made
known his intentions with regard to all
sick persons out of Europe who desired
his prayers. He would pray for such on
the 10th day of every month at 0 o'clock
in the morning, and he called upon all
who wished to enjoy the benefit Of his
tntercession to fulfill certain conditions.
Faith in Prayer
They must have faith tn the eficacv
Of prayers; they must repent anew and
deeply OF their sins; they must form an
immovable purpose to lead an exemplary
life; they must perform a novena, or
nine days devotion, in honor of the holy
name Of Jesus; they must confess, do
penance, and receive the sacrament; and,
finally, on the appointed day. the 10th of
any month, at am, they must unite
in prayers with the prince, far away on
the other side of the ocean.
with all these conditions Mrs. Ann
Mattingly complied. The priest Of her
church. 200 of her friends and fellow
Catholics, as we'll as some other sick
persons, shared in the novena, and the
archbishop Of the province 'graciously
promised to join in prayer with them on
the appointed day, 10th of March in
slant The novena was begun on the
first day Of March, 1924, so that 1t might
end on the 10TH
"As there is difference of six hours
between the time at Washington and at
the place in Germany where the prince
lived, the priest appointed the hour OF
3 in the morning for the last solemn act
OF supplication, and so notified all the
families and persons concerned. At 8
on the evening before Mrs. Mattinzly,
who apparently had not many hours to
live, confessed and received absolution.
At in the morning the priest who was
in the special charge of the novena said
mass IN the church and carried thence
the sacrament to the afflicted lady's
room, where he arrived about 2:3o. She
was then so low and SO necessarily tor
mented by a cough that the priest was
apprehensive she would die before she
had communed. The sacrament, how
ever, was administered, and 1t cost the
lady painful effort of six minutes to
swallow 1t.
The solemn ceremony being ended,
the priest wrapped up the sacred vessels
and implements, gave the usual blessing
to the kneeling family GIVE. in number,
all of whom swear to these and the fol-
lowing statements) and was making his
last alteration of the host before leaving
when he heard deep sigh issuing from
the direction of the bed. He turned and,
