SNIPING ON FRONTIER OF ITALY AND JUGOSLAVIA Failure to Define New Boundarjes Accurately Blamed—=Several Casualties li.cpomd. murmured the young News. ight, 124, . VIENNA " Suly T e MInor clashés are ocourring daily along the Itallan- Jugoslav frontier in the hill district between customs officers of both na- tions and frontier soldier guards as well as civillans, Several casualties have been reported with prisoners taken, but they are usually released. It seems that the Italians and the Jugoslavs are occasionally sniping each other, sometimes even organ- izing raids. The fatest incident was a Jugeslav customs inspector run- ning the gauntlet of what was sup- posed to have been Italian soldiers. The immediate cause of the frontier sniping is said to be an effort to divert attention from the difficult in- ternal situation in Italy, but the fundamental causes may be found in _the frontier which "has not been definitely marked. The frontier line was drawn uncertainly, without con- sideration for roads and small vil- lages, and the inhabitants are forcoed by the hlils to cross and recross the frontiers with resulting clashes from hostile customs officials and troops. e e NOW LONDON TO BAGDAD.
