Benevolent Association OF
British Exiles Also
Changes Its Name

INFLUENCES SEEN
Members Will Become Cit
izens-Ranks Filled with
Late Arrivals

The Benevolent Association of Brit
ish Exiles, the slackers' self-protect'ye
society. organized last month in Mrs.
J. Sergeant Grams town house, has
established headquarters at l25 west
Twenty-frst Street, and seems in fair
way Of taking its place among New
York's radical 400
The exiles have made good with
Washington Square. They are ,he sea-
sons "fnd" and have a "fresh view
point" 10 be lionized Already the in-
luence of the fine Bohemian hand OF
the Square on the association is dis
cernible.
The society has changed its name.
The unwieldy title which fills the
whole first line of this story has been
dropped for this: "Fourwinds Fellow
ship"
There is another reason for dropping
British" out Of the masthead. Several
members expect 20 remain in the United
States and have taken out their fret
papers Il hardly would be TIE part o,
discretion for some Ct them 20 go back
in view Of the severe penalty for de-
sertion from the army in war time.

They hope 10 become American citi-
zens and make the Fourwinds Fellow
ship a power in this land 70 fight for
the principles which have actuated It's

When the war is over and the Fell
lowship no longer il taxed with tho
task of taking out of tfe United King

forces against universal army service
In the United States.
The Liberal CLUB of Washington
Square is another organization WHICH
has interested itself in the propaganda
OF the Fellowship. Last week c Per-
cival Smith, the slackers' chief ad-
dressed the club, but confined his re-
! marks TO the work the society was do
ing to bring out brother anti-militarlsts
from England before the CONSUMPTION
officer got them.
Mr.. Smith told the Liberal Club that

about fifty. which WAS constantly
changing. New members arrive of the

House on the administration revenue bill
neared close tonight with Democrats
defending the measure and Republicans

He said Majority Leader Kitchin had
