FIRST GUNNER SEEKS RECRUITS

MAKES HEADQUARTERS IN OUR CITY SEEKING ADDITIONS TO THE U. J. NAVY. First Gunner Bryffbzynski arrived in Rensselaer Monday in quest of recruits for the United States navy and has his headquarters at the Navy League rooms in the K. of P. building. Gunner Brykczynski will be here for possibly two months and during that time he hopes to have many young men from this community enrolled in the service of the United States government. The officer arrived here from South Bend, where he had been stationed on the same mission. Mr. Brykczynski is the recruiting officer of the Indianapolis district. For those wishing to join the service they should see the officer at his headquarters where he will explain the service to them and also give them a physical examination if they should decide to enlist. After the examination they would be sent to Indianapolis at the expense of the government, where another examination would be given. If they are rejected, tljeir expense back to this city will be paid.
