What Viii These Think?

"What will these think If they
are abandoned to the streets, with
out adequate hospitality, without
places to go to-"
All the time Mrs. Hamilton was
expressing her views she begged
that emphasis be laid on the fact
that the campaign undertaken by
the Navy Club was not cher cam
paign." In this, as in all other un-
dertakings, some one has to do the
talking and make explanations; this
she was willing to do, but she in.
sisted, without any false display of
modesty, that the subject be di-
vested of personalities or suspicion
of a desire for personal glory.
Otherwise the campaign would suf-
fer, she said.
The Navy Club, as is generally
known, has temporary headquar-
ters at 500 Fifth Avenue. Herbert
L. Satterlee, brother-in-law of J. P.
Morgan, is its president. Among
the members Of it's general commit
tee are such we'll known men as
Vincent Astor, John r. Archbold,
Cleveland H. Dodge, General Cole
man du Pont, Aaron V. Frost, Ar
thur Curtiss James, William Eel

He has done more for that country,
by illuminating its annals, by illus
trating the deeds Of its warriors
and statesmen, than any man that
ever existed or was produced within
its territory. He has opened up the
peculiar beauties of his native land
to the eyes of foreigners; he has
exhibited the deeds of those pa
triots and martyrs to whom we owe
the freedom we now enjoy.

ton, Mrs. Henry Pierce and Miss
Mabel Beardsley.
The club was established on july
2, 1917, and for months maintained d
an annex in East Sixty-frst Street
where it provided beds for sailors.
The annex was in charge Of Mrs.
Sutton, who lives at the Plaza
Hotel.
AS the war got under way the
Navy Club became the rendezvous
for thousands of men in uniform.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-23
Sole 4uthor

Sir Walter in his reply regretted ex-
ceedingly that SO much fuss had been
made over matter so trivial. He
asserted that the failure of his pub
fishing house, Ballantyne & Co., had
terribly embarrassed him financially,
but as the first act of a gentleman
was to pay his debts he merely went
to work like a man and liquidated
every penny for which he was obli-
gated, writing his stories anony-
mously. He modestly affirmed that

number is constantly growing, be-
cause New York is being visited
more and more frequently by the
warships of other nations.
"When the Prince Of Wales came
to New York q few days ago hum
dreds Of British sailors were to be
seen on the streets Of the city,
"What is it, do you suppose,
which checks radicalism, discomfort,
hatred Of government, desire to
overthrow existing institutions and
develops 100 per cent loyal and law

Of their country and for the uniform
they wear. What inducement have
they to remain in the service-the
right kind Of men, that is---and once
out of the service are they not ready
material for the radicals to work
on? And what Of the sailors of
other countries who come here? In
England and in most countries
suitable places have been provided.
In many places they have clubs
where the spirit of fraternity and
love of service is kept alive.

Armistice Brought Change

The workers in the Navy Club
were not alone in this. Every other
club, shelter" hut, welfare, religi-
GUS and civic organization was, SO
far as possible, doing the same
thing.
But then came the armistlce and
with it an extraordinary change.
Mrs. Hamilton, who had made her
self the mother" Of the Navy Club
by her unceasing efforts in its be-
half, found the extent Of this change
when she approached prominent
society woman for a contribution
in support Of the new movement be-
gun by the club.
"My DEAR" said this society wom-
an, while the war was on it was a
matter of patriotism, and l was
glad to help. But now-I am bored
to death"
Coincident with this loss of inter
est among the former welfare work
ers came the rush on the part of al
most every enlisted mar who could
do so to leave the navy.
Something has got to be done,"
said Mrs. Hamilton. 1.-THE Navy
Club il not ready to quit. The de-
moralization in the service must be
checked, and in New York we are
trying to start the nucleus of what
may become a national movement.
Permanent Club Sought
eve have decided to try to estab-
lish a permanent clubhouse in this
city for the enlisted men in the navy
and marine corps. We believe some
uch place can do a great deal Of
rood if the spirit among the men is
% be revived and preserved. The
United States must have a navy,
md New York City is becoming the
maritime center Of the world.
eve must, we absolutely must, do
our share. It is true there are four
cen organizations in the city which
are engaged in welfare work for
sailors, but Of these, thirteen are
helping men In the mercantile ma
rine only. 1t is generally conceded
that some such place as conten-
plated by the Navy Club Is needed
and the officers Of the navy are be-
hind it.
$50 what we are proposing to do
is this:
1--WE have taken an option on the
Belmont house, in East Forty-hrst
Street, and intend to buy it from the
funds we collect in the campaign.
We will need about $1,000,O00. The
Belmont house is really a combina-
ton Of two houses, and beds can be
placed in it to accommodate 129
sailors, in addition to the club fea-
lures now provided at the rooms in
Fifth Avenue.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-23

people were trying to fight their
way out of the morass of the high
cost Of living.
Would the nation, distracted by
all these problems, have time or in

get back to useful and productive
occupation, a swinging away from
the grim and ugly business Of death
and killing-or was it something
more permanent, something vital
and defective which had to be dealt
with now if the navy was to be re-
stored to its proper usefulness in
the future?
"World Is Burning''
The meeting reflected the many
troubles through which the nation
IS passing. One speaker reported
that very great man, whose wealth
ran into hundreds Of millions, had
advised him to do nothing for the
time along the lines contemplated
by the Navy Club.
"The world is burning" the
great man had said. "Other and
bigger problems are pressing. The
war is over. This is not the time to
coddle the sailor. Let it go, for the
time
Then,' too, there were the indus
trial problems. Labor and capital
were at each others throats. Strikes
were constantly being called. Radi-
calism needed to be stamped out.
The flames Of disorder we're being
fed secretly by enemies Of govern
ment and American institutions. The

ment should not receive the reward
due them, but be reduced to hard
fare in their old age.
II cannot think Of poor Jack Fall
staff going to bed without his cup
of sack, or Macbeth fed on bones as
marrowless as those of Banquo
Knowing as do, gentlemen, that
you are all as fond of dramatic
art as | was in my younger days,
l am sure that my confidence in
your support to this worthy cause
has not been misplaced"
Lord Meadowbank, the next
speaker, "begged to bear testimony
to the anxiety which we all feel for
the interests of the institution which
it is for this days meeting to es-
tablish."
4 Toast
He then sprang the great sensa-
tion of the gathering and Of the
literary world by saying: 81
should like to propose a toast which
I feel sure, in an assembly of Scots
men, will be received not with an
ordinary feeling of delight, but with
rapture and enthusiasm; we have

Speech Obviously Planned

speech OOCLOuSty LuHUeu
The speech was made at meet
ing attended by representatives Of
the highest officers of the sea branch
Of the war service. They had gone
there under instructions from their
superior officers to take part in what
went on A telegram had been read
from Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt, indorsing the OBJ
ject Of the gathering. Secretary
Daniels was reported to be squarely
behind It. At least three admirals
were represented by subordinate
officers.
The speaker, it was quite ap-
parent, had not been carried OFF his
feet by excitement or emotion in
saying what he did about the con-
aitions in the navy. He obviously
had planned his speech and had con-
suited his superior officer on what
to say
I'VE probably have 10000 men,
counting everybody, In the navy TO-
day. said the speaker. "And Of
them not so per cent have ever been
to sea. There probably isn't an
other navy in the world that isn't
better off than ours"
Worried Ouer Future
AS the speaker went on 1t became
Increasingly apparent that, bad as
things were, he was not worried
over the present nearly as much as
over the future. 1t seemed to him
that the one overwhelming desire
On the part Of every youth who had
been in the navy was to get out of

quit. The thing had approached
The dimensions Of a general rout,
debacle, a complete breaking

structure Of the Republic.

give and inevitable reaction from q

Nary Club Headquarters

Now this same history-making
structure is to become the headouar-
ters of a new fight-that is, if the
plans made by the Navy Club for
. permanent home for enlisted men
in the navy and marine corps go
through-a fight to restore the shat
tered morale of the navy.
\ personal representative Of Ad-
mlral Mcdonald, commandant Of the
New York Navy Yard, caused as
tonishment at public meeting in
this city last week by asserting that
there was probably not another
power in the world which had suf-
fered such amazing decentralization
among its sea fighting forces as had
the United States since the armis-
tice. He said he doubted if we
could send more than one battleship
into fighting service at the present
time. Even Japan or Italy was in
tinitely better off than we, he said.
He used such words as shocking"
and "fearfur' in describing the con-
)ditions among the personnel Of the

clination to listen to the needs of
the men in the navy? The war was
over, and the navy was, for the mo-
ment, not essential. Would it not
be wiser, then, to let the subject
go over temporarily and to take it
up when things had become more
settled?
''No," Macy Club Ans,uers
The answer Of the hackers of the
movement begun by the Navy Club
is quiet "No!"
