A movement to establish perma

last night at a meeting at the Navy
Club, 500 Fifth Avenue. 1t was an
nounced that $1,O00,000 would be neces-

this sum will be started this week.
The project grew out of the desire
OF the officials of the present Navy
Club to erect some sort of memorial
in honor of the sailors and marines
who took part in the World War. They
also felt that sailors should not be
permitted to go back to the life thew
led before the conflict, when they had
no place tc go but the saloon. and
that the solution of the problem was
the establishment of clubhouses in ell
seaports.
