Lt. John A. Dietz. Member of three Olympic pistol and revolver teams and former armourer and superintendent of the Seventy-First Regiment Armory, New York City, Lt. John A. Dietz died on October 11th, following a short illness. Lieutenant Dietz became civilian superintendent of the armory in 1905, and when the Seventy-First was ordered to go with the expedition to the Mexican border, he refused to remain behind. He enlisted and served in the expedition as first sergeant of the machine gun company, and later, in the World War, became a first lieutenant.
