The name Of Rear Admiral Os-
car C. Badger, which has been so
much in the public press as COM
mander Of the naval task force
which spear-headed the occupation
Of Japan, is one of considerable
local interest. As small boy, Ad-
miral Badger resided for a short
time in Rockville with his mother
and sister in the house now owned
and occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. A. Pate. His sister, Miss
Elizabeth G. Badger, attended the
school conducted by the late Miss
Lucy Simpson, to whom Mrs.
Badger was related. Miss Badg-
er married Rear Admiral Bryan,
u. S. NJ, who commanded the
great liner Leviathan, perhaps the
most famous transport ship of
World War /. After that war, he
was for several years Governor Of
Samoa.
The father of Admiral Badger
and Mrs. Bryan was Rear Admir-
al Charles j. Badger, whose naval
career was one of great distinction.
Early in that career, he was
awarded the Congressional Medal
Of Honor for his gallant rescue Of
the survivors of the Greeley Attic
Expedition. He served at the u.
s. Naval Academy, first as Com

Rear Admiral Badger Was
Once 4 Rockville Resident

pmandant of Cadets and later as
Superintendent. Just before the
first world war, he commanded the
United States fleet on it's diplo-
matte cruise, during which he en-
tertained and was entertained by
the King of England, the President
of the French Republic, the Ger
man Kaiser, the Gar of Russia
and other Chiefs Of State, whose
autographed portraits decorated
his home in Cleveland Park after
his retirement. When war threat
ened between this country and
Mexico, Admiral Charles Badger
was in command Of the fleet sent
to invest the City of Vera Cruz,
and measures taken there contri-
buted to a peaceful solution of that
difficult situation. After his re-
tirement, he served through World
War l with the Board of Naval
Strategy, where his judgment and
experience were greatly relied
upon by Secretary of the Navy
Josephus Daniels.
The grandfather of our subject
was Commodore Oscar C. Badger,
for whom he is named. Commo-
dore Badger married daughter
Of Captain Zachariah Johnston, U.
S.N. Mrs. Badger spent her last
years in Rockville and died here.

Old Landmark
Is Being Razed

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Station in Silver Spring,
which has served the people for
67 years, is being torn down for
remodeling, in order to serve more
efficiently the expanding popula-
ton of the area.
The project, to be completed
about November LIST at an estimat-
ed cost Of $4,000, will include an
addition to the present building
and pedestrian underpass be-
tween the north and south sides OF
the tracks. When completed, the
new building will be about one
third larger than the present, rail
road officials announced.
A new brick structure about 80
feet by Is feet, has been built on
the south side of the tracks and is
being used as a station while the
present building is being remodeled.
Eventually, this temporary sta
ton will serve as a waiting room
for east-bound passengers.
The present station built in 1878
serves approximately 1000 passen-
gers a day. AS late as the early
l900's Silver Spring was merely a
stop on the b & o X. r. Sligo store
was on the corner of Colesville
Road, there were few houses be-
tween there and the district line
and a toll gate was on the road
between Sligo and the station.

for another war. We must
understand that only through
the new generation coming along
can we hope to bury the mill
taristic Japanese spirit. Let's
accept the insincere graciousness
in good part but let us hope that
our leaders will not be misled.
Let's insure peace through the
force we have rather than hope
to have peace through japanese
goodwill.
