There was big celebration In the
Casino. The mayor Of Evian made a
speech. but most Of the children were
obviously much too tired to try to
puzzle out his big words. They were
much more interested In the band.
The band played '.The Savoyard." the

But they were tired out; there were
one or two who were too tired to eat

Of the second verse Of the "Braban-

his head on his arms and went to
sleep. And before the "Marseillaise"
was sung there were sleepy little
groups. oblivious to the noise about

It was dark when they entered the
Casino--much too dark for the pic

of them-and it was still very gray
twilight when they came out.
One Of the American Red Cross
nurses who was helping care for

TAKE RIVIERA
FOR SOLDIERS
Rep. Miller Would Have
Pleasure Resort Main
tanned for Sammies.

House members applauded yester-
day a proposal by Representative
Miller, of Minnesota, who recents
returned from the French front, that
the United States take over the Ri
viera, the famous Mediterranean re-
sort. for the benefit of American
soldiers on leave.
Democrats and Republicans arose
to assure their support.
Miller said the worst privation of
the New Zealand and Australian SOL
diers was that they could not visit
honey" places like the French and
British. men IN leave. He declared
tne Riviera. now closed for the war,
ooGld be operated economically on
large scale.
VIII Want Relief
American soldiers on leave" he
said, will want some absolute relies
from activity. They don't want to
climb Alps or be pulled around the
country on Cooks tours. British and
Frenchmen go bone. and the happi-
est. most exalted faces on the. west
front are those OF 'he soldiers on
their way to Blishty.
German soldiers have similar ad-
vantages. I found the Australians
found the lack of home influences
their worst pI.yation.
American officers suggested to me
that the Rivie 4, great resort, could
undoubtedly be operated so as to give
all me accommoda atoms that could be
asked. for $50 a day per man. The
region possesses just the qualifica-
tions needed.
There is no reason why ell the
hotels in the ice-RivIera-Cannes dis
trict should not be taken over a
Smile zone established to keep un-
desirables out, and c second Atlantic
City made. I would give the SOL
diers an opportunity for all the fool
ishness their hearts desire.
Opportunity for Women.
Generally our government is slow
to act along these lines. We look
after hogs and cattle and sheep, but
rarely for the health and happiness
Of human beings. But in the case
of an army, it is absolutely a case
Of maintaining morale under modern
warfare.
Now there is, with every man at
the front, a time when he longs for
the look for sweet woman. There
is something in the life that calls
them to chivalry, to exalt woman
hood. In these hotels. which should
be vigorously controlled, there should
be a home touch.
There is another opportunity for
American womanhood, that ever has
shown its capacity whenever called
upon for a signal service. Women
of especially matronly qualities, with
the assistance of such young ladies
as might be called into service,
trained and discreet. should undertake
the work and give a touch of home
influence to these places. The whole
plan should be under control Of Gen.
Pershing.'
Miller said he was confident Ameri-
lea would have 100000 men in France
by the middle of 1919. Furloughs
would be given every four months.

The first season ticket to the Chau- tauQua Festival, which will hold the boards in Juneau soon, will be auc- toned off at the Gastineau Hotel at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. This has been decided upon because the usual rivalry for the first ticket in a new territory has developed here Several people had asked the ticket committee for the first ticket, and it was decided to let it go to the one who will pay most for it.
 Armenian Fund to Benefit
 The surplus secured for the ticket over and above the $4, the regular price for a season ticket, will go tC the Armenian and Syrian Relief Fund that is being raised in Juneau. The management of the Chautauqua Al askan circuit say that all they want for the ticket is the regular price $4. They are anxious however, to aid the people of Juneau in raising the money allotted to this section for the Armenian and Syrian Relief Fund, and therefore agreed to the suggestion of the raffle
