ROMEYN REDUCED.
A Cadet Captain at West Point Is
Once More in the Ranks.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. l. -
From an unofficial source it is learned
here that Cadet Charles A. Romeyn,
son Of Maj. Romeyn, retired, was strip
ped of his captains straps because of
an unmilitary order given the cadets Of
his company while In ranks at the
West Point academy a few days ago.
The war department had no hand in
reducing Romeyn, as the making and
unmaking of cadet officers is left en-
tirely to the West Point authorities,
There is no case similar to Romeyn's
known to army officers here, and the
ircident goes to show how strictly small
details of discipline are enforced at
the military academy.
Romeyn had charge of his company
and noticed some of his men turning
their heads to see something Of inter
est which attracted their attention. A
tactical officer happened along, as is
generally the case when anything is
going on. Romeyn saw the tact"
men were called to attention several

sharply ordered the captain. Had Ro-
meyn said no more he would still be
In command OF Company c, but seeing
a man turn his head again he sang
out: Turn your eyes If you want TO
see things, but remain quiet and face
the front"
The tactical officer heard this COM
mand and Immediately reported Ro-
meyn for giving unmilitary commands.
The commandant Of cadets was placed
in possession of the facts, and Cadet
Romeyn was reduced to the ranks.
