WEST POINT. N. ", Nov. 49,
When Queen Marie visited the
United States Military Academy
here on her, way west the school
commanders conferred a privilege
upon her which is extended only TO

the hand she caused to be wiped off
the academy records all minor Of

dents. The same honor was con-
ferred upon the Swedish prince

Needless to say, this custom,

Of the practice seems to lay In the
