WEST POINT CADETS
AND THEIR HAzING

WEST POINT, N. V, July 23.-
Eight cadets in the United States Mil

their homes as result of hazing mem

Jones. New York: George w. Chase,
New York; William NJ. Prude, Ala
bama; Isaac Spaulding, Oklahoma;
William Nolle, Virginia, and James A.
Gillespie of Pennsylvania, members of
the third class
The cadets who have been placed
under suspension for what has come TO
be regarded in official eyes as the
major offense in the academy list, will
have their cases passed upon by the
Secretary of War and have been order
ed to await the Secretary's action at
their homes. Precedent in such cases
sets the penalty as dismissal from the
academy following proof of the hazing
charge.
The academy authorities decline to
talk upon the matter and refuse to give
out any information regarding it. The
incident was given publicity by one
of the accused cadets after leaving
West Point.
Tonight. from other sources, consider.
able was learned regarding the hazing
at the academy, which has been going
on during the past three months. Never,
it can be said, was evidence of hazing
so carefully and so skillfully concealed.
Even the cadet officers were kept out
of the secret, while as for the plebs, as
the fourth classmen are called, they
all took their hazing uncomplainingly.
The form which the hazing took con.
sisted of requirement that the plebs
"fall in" at the first tap of the warn.
ing drum, instead of waiting the usual
five minutes to the final call. The
punishment for failure to comply is
said to have taken a unique form, EN-
bodied in an order to the offender, in
substance as follows:
eco out into G Company street and
pick up 100 nice fat ants, put them in
your cap and in half an hour come back
count them, and if any are absent re-
port accordingly. If all are present OF
accounted for, put them in your locker
until further orders"
The poor pleb thereupon repaired tC
the company street and for the next
| half hour or so was the busiest mar
in this section of the camp. When he
had finally corralled the necessary nun
Der of ants he went back and reported
Then the pleb counted them, and il
all the ants were "present or accounted
for he was told to place them in hi
locker for safekeeping. On the othe
hand, if an ant was absent. ne woulC

At the instance of the same division the

to be the intention of the other divisions

Through the instrumentality of the An
cient Order of Hibernians the children Of
more than five hundred Catholic schools
In the country have been studying Irish
history during the past year. and the pub
lie schools of the city Of Boston have
taken up the work. The Hibernians con-
tend that this movement will in time
spread useful knowledge of Irish his
tory among the rising generation. and
that it will also be instrumental in re-
moving a vast amount of misunderstand-
ing to the true history and character
Of the Irish people.
