Haunts of Napoleon Are Home
to A. E. F. Troops Through Ef-

BETTER .I cave" Facilities.

Paiss.-NbeIe eursS S9Rsic2mer tRRs american en-
listed men are now at play. The fam
Gus yacht club at Cannes, founded and
patronized by King Edward, and ST.
Sauveur, where the third Napoleon was
wont to go with his court, indicate the
variety of attractions offered by the Y
NJ. C. A. in the leave area system oper-
ated in cooperation with the military
authorities. From the Alps to the Pyr-
ennes and from the Brittany coast to
The Riviera, there pre- seven "Y" leave
areas in which $4,000 soldiers can be
entertained at one time. Preparations
are now under way to increase these
much-appreciated facilities to double
their present capacity
Representatives Of the army and OF
the Y. NJ. G.. A. are now travelling from
one end of France to the other seek
ing new spots in which to set up leave
areas. The experiment at Aix-les-Bains
has been successful from the start,
as America now knows pretty well
from first-hand information carried
home by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
who organized the woman's canteen
work at AK.
"Aches and Palms, was an ideal spot
for the experiment, but six others have
been found and pu- in operation, each
equally satisfactory as the original
model. Consequently 1t is with opti-
mism that the army and the "Y' seek
to increase the centres where sure
cures have been found for homesick
doughboys.
Location, climate, hotel accommoda-
tions, opportunities for entertainment
and sightseeing and the moral and
physical cleanliness OF the area are
all-important in the selection of
leave resort. AS soon as a site is
selected the largest available is OBJ
tanned by the Y. NJ. c. A. as its main
center of operations, men and women
are assigned to service and negoti-
ations are begun to secure reduced
prices from such entertainment en-.
terprises as cannot be duplicated by
the Y. M. c. A. and every effort is
made to give as much service as pos
sible. The army provides transpor.
tation and pays the hotel bills, thereby
enabling the soldier to enjoy all the
attractions formerly restricted to
kings and emperors and malefactors
of great wealth.
The Jetty Casino at Nice and the
Municipal Casino at Cannes are the
centres of attraction in the Riviera
for the $500 men who can be accom-.
modated in this area. Many officers
favor this Mediterranean section, and
there is "Y" club for them. Every.
thing except the gambling that was
stopped by the government at the be.
ginning Of the war is at the disposal
of the Americans. Golf and tennis and
other athletic sports, bathing, boating
and the companionship of the local
are the most popular at.
fractions.
