UNITED SERVICE CLUB.
Government May Be Asked to Pro-
vide Building Here.

Why should not the government pro
vide a United Service Club house here
at washington for army and navy off,
GERS? discussion of this question is
now current, and in most favorable
way. The Army and Navy Club is on a
successful basis and deservedly popu-
lar. but its accommodations are lin
tied and IN no way adequate for such a
club at the National Capital
\ United Service Club, such as may
be found abroad. would provide a com
mon meeting ground for the officers of
both branches Of the service as well as
for military and naval attaches Of the
legations and embassies. Many PROM
inent officers think that such a club
would make for the betterment Of the
service. and that IL the government
provided the building It would take on
an Official or semi-ofEicial character and
enhance the dignity Of the product
One Of the ardent advocates Of the
project IS Gen. Felix Agnus. OF the
Baltimore American. a member of the
Army and Navy club
The officers who are In favor Of the
plan point out that one of the leading
clubs, in point OF utility and dignity.
IN London is the United Service Club.
the building for which is provided by
the British government. The furnish
ing of tho club and its maintenance are
left-as It is proposed should be the
case with similar club in Washing
tOn-to the officers in both arms Of the
service. This French government pro-
vides a similar club for its officers in
Paris. and Germany also does this.
SO far the project has only got to the
discussion stage. but members OF Con-
gress to whom il has been br0ached
are inclined to regard it with favor.
At array posts, notably at West Point.
SlubhOuses are provided by the govern
meBt. and il is felt that there is abun-
dant reason why Washington, the head
quarters ana home of so many army
and navy officers, should be similarly
looked after in this respect.
