Few restrictions are placed upon the million or more Austrians in the United States as a result of the declaration war by America against the land of their birth or adoption. Pres-idert Wilson has issued his war proclamation against Austria-Hungary. President Wilson specified that unnaturalized Austro-IIungarians, unlike the Germans in this country, should be free to live nd travel anywhere, except that they may not enter or leave the United States without permission, and those suspected of enemy activity may be inspected of enemy activity may be interned.

Whipped to a frenzy by comment upon the attempted criminal assault here upon Miss Azelie Vebre, a young white girl by a negro brute, Lafayette was threatened by a session of Judge Lynch yesterday afternoon. The whole community was aroused by the incident and when officers lodged in jail Clay Harrison a negro, whom they charged with the offense, for a time it appeared as if public resentment could not be held in restraint. Reports of intended violence became so acute that it was deemed wise to spirit the negro away.

He was taken to Ope-lousas where he was placed in jail for safe keeping. The attempt upon the young girl was made at the home of David Guirdy. Miss Vebre was surprised by the negro. Realizing her danger the young woman attempted to barricade herself in a room. The negro, with all the brute force at his command, forced the door.

It was then that the young girl made a desperate fight for herself.
