Meets with Painful Accident.

The many friends Of supt. H. P.
Broussard viii regret to learn that
he had the mist fortune to sustain a
painful injury to his. right arm Thurs
day while cranking his Ford automo-
bile. The accident occurred in the
New River section aof the parish,
while Mr.. Broussard was on a visit Of
inspection to some of the schools
there, and as it was some time before
he could reach physician the arm
had swollen to such an extent as to
make it difficult to determine whether
it had been broken or merely sprain-
ed. In either event the injury is a
very painful one, and will have the eff
feet of partially incapacitating the
energetic school official for period
of weeks.

AUSTRIANS RELAX CONTROL

The rigid Austrian police control of the city was relaxed several days before the occupation by the Italians On November l the Austrian provincial authorities were ordered to turn over their offices to a committee of public safety, which they did peacefully. The committee took charge of the postoffice and railways and municipal affairs generally. The Aus trian soldiers, realizing that the Aus trian armies had been defeated on the Italian front, began leaving for their homes in various parts of the empire, demobilization having been commenced. General Petit Di Roreto, the Italian gov ernor general, speaking to a representa- tive of the Associated Press, who was the only foreign correspondent that accom- panied the general aboard the destroyer Audace, said:
 .'The coming of the Italians here means not only that we have routed our enemy on the battlefield but that we are here by conquest. We have overcome the Austrians, who have domineered, op- pressed and scored the Italians for so long.
 "It also means that we have reunited 8 lost daughter to the mother country. We have arranged strategic lines so that Italy no longer will have to live under the dread of an invader
