1t Is the West Point Spirit
That Keeps the Army Strong

Honor has ever been the watchword
of the American army officer. High
morale is a tradition that has come
down to him unbroken through the
years. So accustomed is the country
to find in him sacred devotion to his
own and his country's honor that the
exceptions to the rule never fail to at
tract attention.
1t was only a few weeks ago that
army circles were stirred by the big
amy charge made against Lieut.. VIII
liam William K. McCue, First infant
ry, at Chicago. Significance attaches
to the escapade of Lieut. McCue be-
cause of the fact that he began his
career as an enlisted man. Seven 9TH
err officers who have faced courts mar
tial in the last few months have come
up from the ranks, or been appointees
from civil life. While there have been
West Pointers in trouble since the
year began, the preponderance among
the court martialed of civilian ap
pointees and officers who have risen
from the ranks has started anew the
question as to the secret of the West
Pointers superiority.

eliminated from the army for causes
rejecting on their soldierly character
more than 290 officers. OF the number
less than half, it is asserted in well-in-
formed circles, have been graduates of
West Point. This fact, in the opinion
of graduates of the academy, speaks
volumes for the work done there, and
more for the environment of cadet life.
West Point has had a share in sem
sational courts martial and the West
Point officer is the last to deny this
fact. Indeed, that most sensational of
all court martial cases in the history
of the army had for its central figure
a graduate, for Capt. Oberlin M. Car
ter, embezzler, was of the class of 1880.
But the Carter case is only one on
pages of records few of which can be
attacked. Fitz John Porter, another
West Pointer, was cashiered for alleG-
ed cowardice at the battle of Bull Run.
In the righting of mis- reputation Gen.
John A. Logan spent some of the best
years of his life. Gen. Porter was final
ly restored to duty by congress in 1885,
but his spirit had been almost crushed
in the interim.
West Point, however, cannot be
charged with Brig. Gen. David G.
Swain, who, while judge advocate gen.
eral, was tried by court-martial for
financial Irregularities and sentenced
to twelve years suspension on three
Sourths pay. The academy's. escutch-
con is also clean of the escapades OF
Maj. George A. Armes retired, who
boasts the distinction of ten courts

thought has proved valuable safe
guard to the West Pointer when he
was later called upon to get along with
the modest salary of a first or second
lieutenant 1t is interesting to notice
here the large number of cases of ap-
pointees from civilslife who have come,
to grief as the result of financial trou-
bles. You will find on the records
court martial after court-martial OF
officers for failure to pay debts, ana
as many more for Irregularities in Off
cial accounts.
Honor First of All.
.Then, too. the, West Pointer has
learned at the academy that honor
comes first of all - his own. his alma
matters and his country's honor are
one. The very spirit of the place
teaches this. There is no room for the
liar at West Point The man that can
not or will not tell the truth rarely
remains four years at West Point. II

er, of Pennsylvania, in a local hotel on
President Cleveland's first inaugura-
ton day.
In the last decade the proportion of
West Pointers -martialed has de-
creased very much, reaching its maxi
mum since the Spanish war.
At the Amy Staff college at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan, a court-martial
was recently ordered to try three Off
GERS for deficiency in their studies, or,
as the charges read, Neglect of duty"
All of the three began their careers as
enlisted men, after having commands
in the volunteer army.
The action taken against them has
brought to light the important fact
that a wedding out" process has been
begun in the army under the leader
ship of Brig. Gen. Randolph, chief of
artillery, who, acting under the direc-
ton of Secretary Root, has been hold
ing severe examinations for promotions
UP TO the grade of major.
Because of the large number of civil
appointees which have entered the
service since the war; after passing a
preliminary examination, it has been
necessary to take this step to- prevent
the army from suffering by this influx
Of green material. 1t was their in
ability, to keep pace with the West
Pointer in such highly technical work,
for example, as is assigned to an officer
in the coast artillery, that caused the
Fort Leavenworth officers to be called
to account.
West Pointers look back with pride
over the rolls of their alma mater and
point to the long line of military heroes
she has sent forth.
The indefinabIe Something.
What is that something which West
Point gives her men that we have al
most come to regard as the sine qua
non of the efficient off1cer?" asked an
army officer tonight. He is a graduate
| of the academy, lover of it's traditions
and a veteran of two wars.
Gould l tell you that?" he replied,
| II would be giving you the secret of
| Grant, Lee, Sherman. Phil Sheridan,
the Johnstons, of the Confederacy;
Schofeld, Thomas, of the war between
| the sections, and of the regiment of
| men who left the Point to make them
| selves and their country famous.
ut is there, but it cannot be put into
words. One officer will say it is the
| training at the academy, another the
environment. A third will recall the
watchword, which the Father of the
Academy Maj Sylyanus Thayer, first
sounded on the campus In 1917: Hon
| or, ODedlence, efnclency.
'I recall a conversation at the ban
! quet last year at the centennial cele-
bration on this very point. The italian
! ambassador, Sig. Mayor des Planches,
sat at the presidents right at the table.
The ambassador had been inspecting
the academy all day, and was evidently
enthusiastic over what he had seen.
| The president asked the ambassador
| what he thought of the American SOL
/ diers' training school.

is seldom the authorities have to deal
swiths dishonesty. The cadets them
selves can be depended upon to handle
it effectively whenever it crops out.
Trained up under this code of honor. is
it, surprising that the West Pointers,
years after, should be found still loyal
to its dictates?
THAT was glowing and well de-
served tribute to the cadets which the
board of visitors paid the other day in
their annual report. No greater hon
or they said, can come to an Ameri
can boy than to be worthy of it's di-
ploma, which certifies to his manli-
ness. to his ability as student and to
his attachments in the art of war and
military science"
The West Pointer called attention to

integrity and soldiers worthy of the
name Scrutiny of the records will
show that the proportion of West
Pointers who have gone astray is
small Moreover, you will find that
the most of this unfortunate minority
have been guilty of peccadilloes rather
than of grave crimes. There are some
exceptions to this and sglaring ones,
but you find them at long intervals.
No Reflection on Others.
ut is not reflection on the heroes
of the army who have come up from
the ranks or received their commits
sions from civil life to point out this
contrast between the West Pointer
and his fellow officer from the ranks
or civil life. 1t would be foolhardy to
say that the academy numbered among
its graduates anything like monopoly
of the great soldiers of yesterdays or
today's army Commanding the army
today is an officer who began his career

the American soldiers efficiency re-
piled the ambassador. 1t is the life
here
so it goes. The ambassador felt
the spirit of the place. And yet an in
stitution, conceived in the mind Of the
first president, favored by his success
sor, founded by Jefferson, set on its
feet permanently by Madison and
watched and nurtured by each sue
ceeding executive, would naturally
have an influence on an environment
that makes for honor, efficiency and
duty the three requisites of the army
officer.
West Pointers have all along con-
tended, not in a boasting tone, but
with jealous pride, of the academys
record, that the officers graduated from
there have in the main been men of

that no appointments from civil life
would be, made to the army next year.
There will be but 1873 vacancies. Nine
ty-three of these will be filed by
academy men. and the remaining for
ty-five kept for men promoted from
the ranks. Indeed, the day of the
civilian appointee is over for some time
to come. so far as the army is con-
cerned, if the present authorities carry
out their plans.
