FOR WEST POINT.
Albert Henry Warren Passes Entrance
 Examinations-Is But 17.

Albert Henry Warren, 1t was an- nounced Saturday morning, has receiv- ed notice that he has successfully pass ed the examinations for entrance to the United States Military Academy at West Point. He will be a member of the class that enters the institution in June of this year.
 MT Warren is the son of Captain and Mrs. William Warren of Danielson, and is but IT years of age, just old enough to meet the requirements of entrance relative to ages He will be one of, if not the youngest member of his class. His appointment was by Congressman E. W. Higgins of Norwich. and was made through the efforts of the late James M. Paine. He will be one of the very few young men that have ever en- tered the famous academy from this section of Windham county, and the first to enter from Danielson in prep aratfon for service in either the army or navy since Ensign Walter Jacobs, now of the cruiser Salem, went to An napolis.
 It was more than q year ago when MT. Warren expressed a wish for an opportunity to try for West Point. At that time he was too young, but the ambition was encouraged and the nec- essary steps taken to secure the priv ilege for him. He is an excellent stu dent and at Killingly High school, where he is a member of the senior class, Principal Hal R. Eaton, taking 3 special interest in the preparatory plan, reaaranged the young mans course of study in such a way as to aid him in the effort to be made for the cadetship. Last fall MT. Warren spent several weeks at the Highland Falls, N. Y., military school in final preparation for his entrance examinations at West Point, which he took with a class of 100 at Fort Slocum, N. F., in January.
 While having established the fact that he was a student of marked abil- ity, his success has been contributed to in great measure by the excellent high school in which 1t is his good fortune to be a member. All of his studies have been made in the schools of the town of Killingly and the foundation that has opened the way to a very de- sirable career secured within them After taking his examinations at Fort S1ocum he returned to Danielson and resumed his studies, and will remain in the high school until near the time that it will be necessary for him to go to West Point. This will be so early in the summer that he will not be able to graduate with his class, but he will receive the diploma that he so fully de- serves.
 As one of the very youngest mem bers that may enter Uncle Sam's great military institution he will be graduat- ed as the junior of about everyone in his class, and 1T he remains m me ser vice. because Of this fact will be in active service after they have gone on- to the retired list, which vista of the distant future carries promise of high CT rank than comes to many army of- ficsrs.
 MT, Warren will enter the academy with a strong inherent military instinct His father has years Of service to his credit as a member Of the Connecticut National Guard, in which he rose to the rank ef captain and was in con- rnand of the local company for several years being also one of the best shots in the state.
