Communication

Recruits Wanted for Naval Brigade.

[We invite all men in the University to submit communications on subjects of timely interest.]

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Company B of the Naval Brigade, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, is desirous of obtaining a few recruits and I am going to ask your co-operation in bringing this matter to the attention of your student body.

We want bright, clean-cut young men of good size and build and citizens of the United States, and can offer them much instruction in Navy matters and a cruise for one week in the summer on board one of the United States war vessels. We require attendance at drills one night a week during ten months in the year where instruction is given during the winter in infantry and artillery, knotting, splicing, etc., while during the summer, rifle and revolver practice, seamanship, gunnery and boat drill under sail and oar, are taken up.

Any young man desiring further information can see me at the address given below, where I will be glad to go into the mater further with him and decide whether he is the kind of material that we want. Very truly yours,   LOUIS F. GATES,
