The German Cub, at ~ Central
Park South. which was the centre Of
German social life in the city, and is
said TO have been the rendezvous Of
plotters of the highest degree. was
opened yesterday, in accordance with
the desire of its directors, as Lafayette
House, a Red $Cross convalescent sta

the United States military service. The
directors turned over the building and
its contents for "a nominal sum-" al
though $4,000 probably would be con-
sidercd a moderate rental for the edi-
fee. The German Club itself has not
used the building for months. the con
stant surveillance of government de
tectives having disrupted the organiza
tion.
As yet there are no patients in
Lafayette House. but it is ready as il
stands to admit one hundred and when
