DRAFT OBSERVERS
 ARE IN. PERIL

That draft evaders who had thought of escaping all punishment because the armistice was signed will have a rude awakening is evinced today by the following memorandum received by Mayor Clifford B. Wilson from Major J. P. Leavenworth adjutant at Fort H. G. Wright N. Y.
 The communication follows:
 ''Inasmuch as steps are being taken to shortly publish as deserters from the army and subject to arrest the names of registrants who have be- come delinquents or draft deserters, all such are advised that in order to avoid the humiliation of arrest, by qualified officials, and removed to a camp, post or station under arrest, men charged or chargeable with such desertion should voluntarily surrender at the nearest camp, post or station"

FOR THE CITY CLUB
All Living Within Thirty-Mi|e
Radius Will Be Granted
Reduced Fees.

Another novelty was introduced by
the recently organized City Club to-
day, when officials announced the es-
tablishment of a special clergyman s
membership.

mously approved by the board of
governors of the club, the merlber-

$50 a year. IS applies to other active
members. The initiation fee for cler-
Gymen will be only So. instead of the
customary 500.
The action was taken after numer-
Gus clergymen had informed mem
bers of the club that they were en-
thuSiastic over the City Club move
ment. but that. with their compara-
lively small salaries. they could not
afford to join. Club members realize
hat some of the most prominent
citizens of Washington and some OF
the most active civic workers are
clergymen living on salaries out OF
all proportion to their ability ana

One of the most enthusiastic clergy
men now a member o. the club is the
Rev. John O'Grady, secretary of the
committee on reconstruction of the
Catholic War Council. He believes
that the club will be valuable asset
in awakening civic consciousness. in
affording business men the physical
exercise and recreation which their
systems demand and in welding more
securely the family ties and promot-
ing domestic happiness. Rabbi A5ram
