MAY GO over SEAS At ONCE
Brennan Gets News of His Appoint
ment While Doing His Bit as a
Rookie at TT. Sheridan, and
Leaves at Once for Service.

It's Captain Ben Brennan now.
Somewhere at Ft. Sheridan or maybe
on his way to Ft. MeMyer or the coast
Kenosha' s former city engineer is put
ting on regimentals and getting ready
for early service with the engineering
corps of the United States Army. 1t is
probable that he will go to France
within few weeks as there is a de-
mand for United States Army engineers
in France at the present time. Captain
Brennan got his commission at Fl.
Sheridan on Saturday. 1t bears the
date of August 18th but the routine
work of issuing commissions by the war
department was so great that it was
impossible to get it on the way until
this time. Kenosha s engineer had
bean notified that he might expect a
commission sometime ago but the for
NAL document did not arrive and he
thought that Uncle Sam had changed
his mind and determined to get into
the army, he went right along with the
rest Of tAe "rookies to TT. Sheridan
on August 9th
He showed his letter to the command
ing officers at Sheridan "Well, what
more do you want?'' they sked him.
" | want to be sure of getting into this
scrap some place." Brennan told them
and they admitted him to the classes
at Sheridan and he has had a consider
able preliminary training already.
Brennan left Fit. Sheridan for Chicago
just as soon as he received his formal
commission and his friends in Kenosha
have not heard from him Stree. .
The Kenosha engineer was one of the
first men to volunteer for place in the
engineering corps after the call for
men had been sent OUT. He sent his
application to Washington early in
May and had been waiting to hear
something for it. He took the exam
nations in Milwaukee early in July
and was passed with one of the highest
recommendations given any engineer
from this district. Captain Brennan
will bring to the department. training
which will be of great value. He is a
graduate of the University of Wiscon-
sin and following his graduation he had
wide experience in engineering work.
For three years he worked with rail
way construction gangs and he gave up
this work to accept the position of as
sistant city engineer Of Kenosha which
position pointed the way to the head Of
the department. AS Brennan has been
commissioned captain in the engin-
eering corps he will probably not re-
turn to Kenosha until after the full
three years Of service Members of the
Common Council have not as yet been
formally notified of his joining the en-
cheering corps of the army but as soon
as this notification is received they will
take formal action to fill his position
IN Kenosha
Engineer Brennan has been very pop
ular in Kenosha. He is member of
many of the Kenosha organizations and
has shown a great interest in all CT
them. His many friends here will be
pleased to know that he Las won ais
shoulder straps in this branch of the
service for the government. It is pos
sible that he will have chance 20 re-
turn to Kenosha to say a few clare
wells'' before he leaves for active
service

Volunteering is not over in Keno
sha," said Postmaster German this
morning. oeWe still have young men
who are hearing the call to the coiors
and answering it in a red blooded
way" and to prove this statement the
postmaster produced list of six vol
unteers from this city, who Saturday
came to his office and started on the
way which leads them to an opportunity
to serve cold Glory and freedom.
Four of the men were lined up for the
navy and their physical examination
showed that they would make "jolly
good tars" for Uncle Sam; one of the
others wanted immediate action and
joined "the soldiers of the sea" and
the sixth entered the regular army,
The door is not yet closed to volun-
teers and Kenosha young men are still
realizing the responsibility and ans
wering it nobly. The postmaster has
received orders not to receive as a
volunteer any man who has been
ordered to report to the CONSUMPTION
board for examination and this rule
is being rigidly enforced.

Cars Abdication Message.

The following is the text of the i'm
perial manifesto in which the Russian
emperor announced his abdication and
that of his son:
eve, Nicholas H., by the grace of
God, emperor of all the Russias, car

etc., make known to all our faithful
subjects in the day of the great
struggle against a foreign foe who has
been striving for three years to en-
slave our country, God has wished to
send to Russia a new and painful trial.
Interior troubles threaten to have a
fatal repercussion on the final outcome
of the war. The destinies of Russia
and the honor of our heroic army, the
happiness of the people and all the fu-
ture of our dear fatherland require
that the war be prosecuted at all cost
to a victorious end. The cruel enemy
is making his last effort and the mo-
ment is near when our valiant army, in
concert with those of our glorious al
lies, will definitely chastise the foe.

Russia we believe our people should
have the closest union and organiza-
ton of all their forces for the realiza-
ton of speedy victory. For this rea-
son, in accord with the duma of the
empire, we have considered it desir-
able to abdicate the throne of Russia
and lay aside our supreme power. Not
wishing to be separated from our
loved son we leave our heritage to our
brother, the Grand Duke Michael
Alexandrovitch, blessing his advent to
the throne of Russia. We hand over
the government to our brother in full
union, with the representatives of the
nation who are seated in the legis-
lative chambers, taking this step with
an inviolable oath in the name of our
well beloved country. We call on all
faithful sons of the fatherland to full
fill their sacred patriotic duty in this
painful moment of national trial and
to aid our brother and the represent
atives of the nation in bringing Rus
STA into the path of prosperity and
glory. May God aid Russia"
