TWO TERREBoNNE BOYS
TELL OF CONDITION IN ITALY
ONE WAS IN DIPLOMATIC SER
VICE, OTHER PART OF DIR.
DANA'S HOSPITAL UNIT

Discussion OF the Italian situa-
tion-brings to local attention the
fact that two of Terrebonne's
young men have formed part of the
American forces in Italy. One of
MI. Curtis G. Breaux. son of
Mr.. Gilbert Breaux, OF this city,
WIS attached to the American Con.
sulate in Naples during the period
of Americas participation in the
Great War, and has cleaned a very
thorough knowledge of Italian di-
plomacy, which, like that Of prac-
tically every European nation, can
not stand after the light has been
turned upon it.
Young Breaux left America for
Italy about eighteen months ago.
H, remained with the American Con-
sui General in Naples all through
the war, and returned Just before
the Italian break with President
Wilson over the Adriatic question.
He says that Italy ID q beautiful
country, but there II no comparing
aEy of the European countries
with America-which from every
point Of view n Gods chosea coun-
try. He believes that American
! deals and the principles for which
America waged war, and which
sis has fought for in the Peace
Conference, are Eventually going to
conquer the world, because they
arc founded upon right and Justice.
Mr.. A. N. Daspit, a resident OF
Now Orleans but a native OF the
Little Gallon section, this parish,
also recently returned from Italy,
having been part OF DR.. Dana's
famous Loyola Hospital Unit. Mr..
Daspit, who is the son of Mr.. AL
fred Daspit, of New Orleans, saw
almost every point of interest in
Italy. He says there was only one
American regiment sent to Italy,
but that this one regiment vas
transported from place to place
with such rapidity it created the
impression in the minds Of the
Austrians that there were several
hundred thousand In Italy.
His hospital unit was located in
Northern Italy in the Alps, and was
attached to an Italian Army Divi-
sion, under the command Of an
English General. He states that
the English turned the tide OF bat
tie along the Piave and started the
collapse Of the great Austrian ar
mics. The Italians, worn ont with
three years 0 I fighting, had been
driven across the Paive and were
on the verge Of disaster, when the
English veterans OF the western
front. arrived and drove the Aus
TRANS back across the river, enab-
ling the Italians to reorganize their
shattered ranks and renew the at
tack. From thai time on, Austrian
hopes began to fade.
Like Mr.. Breaux, Mr.. Daspit II
glad to be back In his native land,
Il have been in every place !, I'm
portance in Italy" he said. "The
American uniform enabled US X
travel throughout Italy without
cost, and / did not fail to
take advantage Of thai
opportunity, and I have entered
every building Of any consequenc.
along the line Of my travels. but
there 10 not the humblest dwelling
place In my native Little Gallon
country that | would NOT prefer u
9 Kings palace IN Italy"

With nearly all the division lOcat-
ed in their new blllets in the LIE
Mans area, the first lap of the Sew
enth's journey back to the United
States is about completed,
The date that the first units sail
has not yet been announced, nor is
the exact date Of entraining for the
port of embarkation known at this
time, but it is believed that the
Hour Glass will be able to publish
full details in our next issue.
Much work must be done before
the division can leave the LIE Mans
area, and this is being speeded up
as much as possible.
All records must be completed
and all paper work put in shape.
All organizations will have to
send their men through the delous

liar nature can be taken home.

Brooms, as we'll as rifles and

returned to the men and officers
slated to leave the division for early
departure TO the States we're retain

Extra clothing was turned in over
the Division and as much of the
equipment as could possibly be
spared was taken from the men so
that the trip to LIE Mans would be
less difficult.
Then came the administrative
instructions from G-1. Four sta

the artillerymen bade farewell to

Advance parties from every unit
in the Division. including all the

sent into the new area. sufficiently
ahead of the arrival of the first
units to secure suitable billets and
to make all necessary arrangements
for the care of the Division, as the
various units began to arrive The
advance parties moved out upon
