RETURN TO ENGLAND.
EXODUS FROM RIVIERA. SEQUEL TO BROADCAST APPEAL. PARIS, Sept. 24. A message from Nice says Mr. Snowden's broadcast appeal to British people abroad to return home has roused a great many who are at present in France. It 's estimated that already 4000 British people have left the Riviera for England. To-day's trains were so crowded that many passengers were standing in the corridors. The Riviera has in recent years become as much a summer as a winter resort, as it was generally known. Many of the towns are now more crowded in summer than in winter, and this summer the number of visitors has been a record. At Monte Carlo a new amusement centre which cost about £1,000,000 has been opened, with hotels, restaurants, a casino, a swimming pool and shops, with roads and bridges giving easy access to Monte Carlo. .Juan-les-Pins, a few years ago a small and primitive place, is now one of the liveliest and most fashionable resorts in Europe, thanks largely to the efforts of Mr. Frank Jay Gould, of America, who npw lives permanently there. Cannes has a summer casino, an enormous bathing pool and other attractions for summer visitors.
