BORDER INCIDENTS
Italian And Yugoslav Tension ROME ADMITS TAKING PRECAUTIONS LONDON, May 6. A correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain at Ljubljana says that the revelation of two frontier incidents has heightened the tension between Italy and Yugoslavia. One Italian soldier was killed and three seriously injured last week when a patrol attempted to disarm a Yugoslav sergeant in Yugoslavia. The sergeant resisted and threw a grenade. The second incident also occurred last week, when a Yugoslav antiaircraft gun brought down one Italian plane near Fiume. Reports from Yugoslavia suggesting that Italy was reinforcing her troop concentrations on the Yugoslav frontier gained weight when authoritative quarters, according to the Rome correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain, admitted that Italy was taking precautions “because of Anglo-French intrigues.”
