CROIX DE GUERRE GIVEN TO
IBERIA PARISH YOUNG
LADY.

! Bravery and devotion during
air raids that lasted almost con-
tinuously for twenty-one days
have resulted in high honors for a
New Orleans nurse, conferred by
the French government with
especial praise. Miss Eunice
Broussard, now of the nursing
staff of Touro Infrmary, has re-
ceived the decoration of the croix
de guerre with a citation for her
work as head nurse of an evacua-
ton hospital at Chateau Thierry
and Souilly during the bitterest
fighting Of the war. Two cita-
tions from the United States gov
ernment and citation for the
hospital in general already had
been received by the nurse before
her, return to America in April.
Miss Broussard is a native OF
New Iberia, La, but received her
training at Touro Infirmary and
sailed for France with Base Hos
pital "a. Shortly after landing
she was transferred to Evacuation
Hospital No. 6, and given complete
charge Of the nursing force Of the
hospital.

made for the construction of the
Spanish Trail road at the time the
Police Jury made arrangements
with the State to take up the New
Tberia-Jeanerette highway. In a
short while it will be completed
and then the work will proceed,
finishing iberia Parish s part of
the Spanish Trial. The people of
the Parish are all hopeful now
that the Police Jury will see that
the work proceed in the different
Wards of the Parish just as rap

of Iberia Parish should continue
unabated during this year, wealth

is no use to put off any of this

gions of the war zone, the hospital
was constantly under hard strain
to care for the thousands Of men
who poured in day and night, most
Of them terribly wounded.
Although the hospital was
housed only intents so that we
could move to another location ON
short notice, it accommodated q
tremendous number Of men,"
Miss Broussard said Thursday.
As soon as they were given treat
ment they were moved back to
base hospitals. During the great
battle of Chateau Thiery we evac-
uated 34.otC patients in four
months"
The hospital itself was often .
target for German airmen, and es-
capped destruction several times
by what seemed nothing short OF
a miracle, Miss Broussard said
During the air attack on Paris
there was an air raid every night
for twenty-one nights in success
sion. At such times it was neces-
sary to put out every light and
nurses and doctors often per-
formed difficult tasks of dressing
and surgery in the dark or by the
faint glimmer Of fashlight half
concealed under a, blanket.
After the armistice Evacuation
Hospital No. 6 was sent into
Germany with the American Army
Of Occupation as a special priv
ilege for it's good work.
Accompanying the croix de
guerre which was mailed to her
by the French government, Miss
Broussard received a citation COM
mending her for proof of devo-
ton and courage during the bonn
bardments from the air in the
course of operations in the Ar

On Tuesday the preliminary
work such as surveying and grad

cured. The other roads in the
Sixth Ward that will receive the
first attention will be that lead
ing out to the Third Ward from
the City limits on Duperier Ave-

known as the Wyche road connee-
ting with the st. Martinville road.
After these roads are finished

HEAVY FINE FOR CARRYING
AcONCEA1ED WEAPONS.

Gh thssday last one j. Fl. Bal
lard VINO conducted a restaurant
on HorAins Street for negroes ap-
peared before Judge Power
charged with carrying concealed
weapons, and attempting to take
the life Of night officer james He
bert. According to the evidence
and witnesses to the trouble, Mr..
Hebert and, Deputy Sheriffs
Lenitz Viator and James Colgln
called at Ballard's s place OF busl-
ness to search for an escaped
criminal, and Ballard raised serl-
Gus objection to his place being
entered without search warrant.
At the time of the argument be-
tween he and Hebert, the accused
was standing in front Of his door.
Putting a hand in his right pocket
he snapped his revolver which ne
had pointed towards the abdomen
Of Officer Hebert. Hearing the
trigger snap, Mr.. Viator struck
him over the head with his heavy
revolver, and then commanded
him to throw up his hands, or else
he would be shot. The negro
finally threw up both hands and
the officers then took his gun from
him and brought him to prison.
On Monday the offender of the
law was given a trial and it re.
suited in fine being imposed OF
100000 and seven months IN
prison. In default of payment
three months additional. Ballard
was also remanded to the District
Court under the charge of at
tempting to commit murder.
It was fortunate for Ballard
that the bullet in his gun, which
showed it had been snapped, failed
to explode, or otherwise Mr.. He
bert would undoubtedly have been
killed.
More than likely had Hebert
been killed it would have re-
suited in racial trouble in New Ibe-
ria, and probably, as is often the
case, innocent negroes would be
the victims Of mob vengeance.
This is the reason why Judge
Power is determined that all who
carry concealed weapons both
black and white will be severely
dealt with by him upon their ap-
pearance under such charges. The
negroes as q whole in New Iberia
are ! law-abiding people, and It
would indeed be unfortunate for
|anything to occur that would in
anyway bring on . breach between
the races.
The fine imposed upon Ballard
should be n objest lessen to
those who carry fre arm n this

This proposed solution of the Rus
sian problem is said in these private
advices to have been intimated by
Premier Lloyd George in discussions
Of the situation with British and
Russian leaders in London. Some Of
ficials here after reading the advices
suggested that portions of the ad-
dress Of the British premier in the
house of commons this week could
be taken as indicating that the asso-
ciated powers had agreed TO recognize
the Omsk government.
President Wilson. it was learned
authoritatively today, has Information
that an appearance Of Bolshevlk
strength is now being made through
the concentration Of the armed forces
at single points at the sacrifice OF the
rest of Russia. The president also
has been informed, it was said that
Bolshevism rapidly is losing ground
among the peasant class and even IN
some of the cities and that with the
receipt of the food supplies which the
associated governments have decided
| to furnish the movement will quickly
collapse.
The Paris conferees have been KEEP
advised of the situation in Siberia
where the Omsk government general
! ly has been successful despite loca
troubles in the eastern portion, Off

CONSUL GENERAL ISSUES
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Denial Of Report That Soldier
Attacked Woman Missionary
At Ping Yang.

New York, n. Y, April 1S.-The
japanese government suspects "onc
or two American missionaries OF
connection with the present uprising
IN, Korea" but has followed the most
"considerate method Of dealing with
the matter and has not arrested a
single Of thenl," according to an Of
fetal cable message from Toxic made
public here today by Chonosuke va
da, Japanese consul general in New
York.
The cablegram denied reports that
at Ping-Yang, "a japanese soldier
struck an American lady missionary
with the butt end Of his gun" or that
at Noburu- -Kawa :our soldiers

missionary and forced their way into
the bedroom of his wife" Thorough
investigation of the Ping-Yang Incl
dent, the message said, showed the
report originated from the action OF
a Japanese soldier trying to force
back the passage of a crowd with ms
gun held horizontally"
Asserting that the riots have been
sponsored by one Son Heiki, who is
at the head OF a cult called Tendo
Kyo (heavenly way) and harbors
amutinous de'etat," the message con-
tinued:
"It is matter of exceeding regret
that a certain portion of the mission

that they have INDUCED in words anf

struction. But the authorities nave

TREATY NOT YET
IN FINAL FORM
Reply Of Germany to Ultimatum
Anxiously Awaited in Confer
ence Circles

Paris, April 21.-Doubts were ex-
pressed today whether the perfected
peace treaty would be presented to
the German representatives. on Friday
as planned While the treaty will be
communicated to them in substance,
it was said today in well informed
quarters that it is physically impos-
sible to prepare the document in its
complete, final form in the four days
remaining.
Premiers Lloyd-George, Clemen-
ceau and Orlando met again this
morning and resumed consideration OF
the Adriatic question. President Will
son again absented himself from the
conference The council of four will
meet this afternoon, President Will
son and Premiers Lloyd George,
Clemenceau and Orlando attending.
The German reply to the ultinat-
UNI Of the council OF four that it will
not receive any German delegation
not fully empowered to conduct and
negotiate peace is awaited anXiously
in peace conference circles, the. next
steps toward peace depending upon
the German reply.
Fears are felt that this unexpected
development may affect the program
for the meeting Friday at Versailles.
If the German government, in reply
ing to the councils ulti!natum, raises
controversy regarding the status
of their delegates and the procedure
to be followed. it is conceivable that
the arrival of their delegates at Yer
sailles may be postponed.
