Brainard opened. up. the naval re- cruiting station in city hall last Wednesday morning New Britain has | enlisted six recruits, an average of one each day. On Saturday six men applied at the office for enlistment, but only: one was able to pass. The last three men to enlist are: Michael J. Bresnahan of 9 Crown street, West- field, Mass., emploved by H. R. Walk- er company in this city, enlisted as third class fireman; Charles W. Rus- sell of Plainville, emploved as an es- timating clerk at the Stanley Rule and Level' company, enlisted as ap- prentice seaman; Walter Hirsch, em- ployed at P. & F. Corbin, lives at Mountain View, Plainville, enlisted as apprentice seaman, and Qeorge - H. Stanley, farmer, of West Rocky Hill, enlisted ' as landsman for yeoman. Leon Edgar Andrews of 477 Arch street, a former naval man, is taking an active interest in the naval recruit- ing campaign here and is assisting in stimulating interest. Mrs. Bessie Willys of Trinity street, whose hus- band, Chester L, Willds and brother, Baden P. Thompson are both in the navy, has volunteered to assist the re- cruiting officers in any possible yway. Plang for the recruiting rallies to be held in the various theaters on next Sunday are progressing and the offi- cers in charge expect that it will re- sult in securing a number of addi- tional recruits. In addition to the speakers there will be singing by a quartet composed of Miss Laura Far- rell, soprano;.Joseph C. Ames of Bristol, bass; Miss Jean Cochrane, contralto, and Leon Jackson, tenor. There will also be several soloists, in- cluding Mrs. M. T. Crean. That New Bpitain ‘is beginning to hit her stride is evidenced by the report for Saturday when six men applied for enlistment, while in Hartford Chief Boatswain T. L. McKenna had but two applications, one of whom was rejécted. Thus far the local officer has rejected three ap- licants. Leon Andrews Urges Recruiting. Mr Andrews, who. is a well known business man, is enthusiastic . about naval service and adds his endorsement to the plan to recruit naval men in New: Britain. . 'As .evidence - of - the value of naval training in, civil life, Mr. Andrews can point to his own record. He enlisted as a landsman for electrician at Schenectady, Y., on January 24, 1917, with pay of $17.60 per month. Inside -of two vears he had been prometed until he was earn- inz $56 per month. _After his enlist- ment Mr. Andrews was assigned to the paval tri «schog] at the Brook! Navy :&2’;%;‘ e.,n&th 300 other lry:: cruits, hé took'a special course in gen- eral and radio electricity under cap- able instructors. After six months he was selected, with three others of his class, and sent to man the Fire Island Naval Radio station off Sandy Hook. | He was then given a rating as second class electrician with pay of $44 per month. The next vear he was given a rating as first class electriclan with pay of $55 per month. This included both board and clothes. When the sixteen United States warships made their memorable cruise around the world Mr. Andrews was assigned as radio operator on the U. S. S. Rhode Island and on that trip visited at every port of importance in the world, both in the eastern and western hemis- prhere. The electriclans, Mr. Andrews states, work in shifts of four hours on and eight hours off duty and every four days a man is given twenty-four hours off duty to attend to personal affairs. Mr. Andrews' discharge pa- pers show that during his entire en- listment of four years he did not have a single mark against him. Speaking of the discipline in the navy, Mr. An- drews states that while it is strict, it is not so strict as to discourage a man. If any man tries to do half- way right h€ will have no trouble, he says. On receiving an honorable dis- charge the sailor gets free transpor- tation from the place of discharge to the place of enlistment and if he re- enlists within a period of four months he receives a substantial bonus. When he was discharged Mr. An- ldrewg had a commission &s a first ! clase petty officer and thisis a perman- ! ent commission, aseuring a sailor of i a commission of equal rank in the i event of a later enlistment. Mr. An- | drews states that the health and sani- | tatlon on board ships is the best and ‘chant for the occasion was ~ NEW BRITAIN during his entire enlistment he was in the-sick bay but four days, and then only because of a hard cold. He is willing to explain what he knows of naval life to any young man and will be glad to get into communication with anyone expressing interest. Concerning Naval Discipline. Concerning naval discipline, Brainard states: “We hear a great deal about disci- pline in the navy. I dont like that word discipline, for what is it after all but teaching a boy to do right by himself and his associates? To the boy who prefers to do wrong, call it discipline if you wish.

Local authorities have been unable to identify the Mrs. Louisa. Glaser, aged thirty-five, supposed to be the wife of Joseph Glaiér of this ecity, - whose lifeless’ body, victim of illum- inating gas asphyxiation, was found, a suicide, in a lodging house room yesterday noon at 13 Rome street, Rochester, N. Y. Notifled late - last night, the police consulted city direc- tories for many years back without success. There is only one family named Glaser listed in the city but they inform the authorities that they have no ‘known relative by the same of Joseph. ‘When the body was found a rub- | ber tube, one end fixed over a fully- opened gas jet was inserted into her mouth- Because of all indications that she is of refined family and well educated with plenty of money, Cor- oner Killip and the Rochester po- lice are mystified over her case. Her clothing is reported to the lo- cal authorities as being of costly and fashionable type, considerable money was found in her purse and she wore & number of valuable pieces' of jewelry. A sealed letter, the con- tents written in German, was left in a highly scented envelope. In it com- plaint is made of Glaser’s not joining her in Rochester Saturday night and a quarrel -since the couple left this city is referred to. The woman vis- ited the rooming house Saturday night and hired sleeping accommodations for one night. Immediately after making payment in advance, she re- tired. Glaser is being sought by the Rochester police but the local author- ities have been unable to give them any assistance. City Advertisement NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS.
