Pretty Neckfixings---the
Newest Easter Novelty

It's the little things accessories that make or
mar woman's outfit And what adds so much to
the general ensemble as some dainty little neck
piece? Truly more elaborate collection has not
been gathered together than is on display in this
department, and not satisfied with the many crea-
tons that have come on, this department has done
some creating on it's own account The collar and
cuff sets alone are worth elaborate mention, being
made Of exquisite materials, fashioned on lines be-
coming to any taste, embroidered or lace trimmed
according to your own fancy.

 BE DEVOTED ID
 MEMORIAL FUND
It Will be Known as Roosa- welt Week and Chance. Will be Given to Make
 Donations

The local committee of the Roo e. welt Memorial Association has de5ig- mated next week, November 10 to 15 as Americanization and Roosevelt memorial week M S. Whittier, chairman for Juneau of the Roose- welt Memorial Fund has perfec ed his committee and subscription Hst3 will be found in the hands of the following committeemen: Guy Mc- Naughton at B. M Behrends Bank; Major w. H. Waugh at U. S. Road Commission office; F. Wolland, tailor shop; s. D. Charles, Empire office Glenn Bartlett, Gastineau hotel; J. C. Mcbride at c. w. Young Co.,; Emery Valentine jewelry store; Hector Me Lean, Alaska Juneau John Rex, First National Bank; D. Sutherland and J White. The committee also expects during the Roosevelt week to have public addresses delivered throughout the city in order that young and old may pay tribute to the genius and patriotic service of Theodore Roose- welt
 "The countries of the Allies, whose cause Theodore Roosevelt espoasad so valiantly in the darkest days be- fore victory came, are joining Amer. cans in this movement" said Mir Whittier today Likewise in the Philippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii. and in the farthest corner where the Stars and Stripes fly, men and w9m- en are honoring his memory The founders of the movement have chas- en wisely in making their appeal to the masses. Theodore Roosevelt re- presented no class. He was a typical American He lived in the open; he was filled with bounding energy: he spoke straight from the shoulder; he sought to do right toward all men and he feared none"
 "The Roosevelt Memorial Associa- tion has been organized" said a member of the committee today" to raise a $5,000 900 fund to be utilized as follows: CD To erect monu- ment to Theodore Roosevelt in Wash ington.

", ultimately to include Sagamore Hill, the Roosevelt home, to be pre- served like the Washington estate at Mount Vernon and the home of Mir. Lincoln at Springfcld. (3) To endow the Roosevelt Memorial Association as national society to perpetuate Theodore Roosevelt's ideals of Am. erican citizenship"
 The members of this committee will receive subscriptions from cent up and every donor will receive certificate of membership bearing small portrait of Theodore Roose- welt and will become a member of the Roosevelt Memorial Association The names of all contributors will be deposited in the, national memorial at Washington, D. c. when erected.

Extracts from letter to his mo-
Their.
Sedan, France, Dec. 1918.
At last l am located and some To-
cation it is. | wrote you from Neuf-
chateau on our way up here and told
you as much of our trip as could
then. After we left Neufchateau on
Thursday we travelled by train to
Barbecue on the Nancy-Paris ex-
press. From Barbecue to Verdun
we had a ride on a narrow guage ov-
er a mountainous country. After
waiting some time we caught freight
and were on our way again, that time
going to Don Sar. There was no use
looking for a roof to sleep under as
there were none left, so we Topped on
the ground and were enjoying the
sleep of the innocent in a very short
time. Dawn came altogether too soon
as Z O'Clock found us on our way
again hunting transportation and we
finally found it in the form of truck
hauling provisions. We had to use
trucks for the railroads are in no
condition to ride on as every rail was
blown up by the Germans in their
grand retreat We finally arrived at
camp about 2:30 p. M. only to find
that next day we move again, so that
move locates us today in first-class
hotel in Sedan and we certainly have
some fine room. The town is all shot
to pieces around us but the hotel
which was the German officers quar-
ters still stands o. K. but minus
many windows which were broken by
the explosions nearby.
We are located on the second floor
right over the main entrance. Two
French windows and a balcony over
hanging the street. The window
drapery is of heavy satin and double.
We have big French bed, two large
upholstered chairs, very large
wardrobe with bevel plate mirror, full
length, marble top table, stands, etc.
A large fireplace and another large
mirror over that A statue or two
and other pieces, so you see they left
us pretty we'll provided for when they
departed in haste And it certainly
seems like dream as Paris does not
provide many rooms that would sur
pass this at 81 per day, and it is hard
to realize that for ten days at least
we can live in luxury again. You
Hdu ought 10 see TIE FELLOWS grin
from ear to ear and as happy as
larks.
Well mother dear, will close this
for tonight and see what kind of
dreams / have in a German-French-

soon and hoping you enjoy a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year, re-
main in the best of health and spir

and on Thursday morning | was call

gines. l got into Verdun that after
noon at about 3 p. M, an unusually
long time but there was congestion
of traffic as this is about the only
line supplying the U. S. troops in
Luxembourg. Left Verdun at 8 on
Thursday. l had two engine crews
ard my fireman was with me. We
arrived at Contains at 2 a. m. Went
into the depot where the 21st Eng.
were in charge and showed us big
hotel where we ate. This hotel was
run by civilian all through the war
and made lots of money. This they
put in the bank and when the Ger
mans evacuated they took all the
money along Not even q sou was
left for this man. Went back to the
depot where / slept on the floor. Met
German railroad men and many ref
ugees returning. / talked to some of
them. There are French, American
and German railroad men working IN
