FRENCH TROOPS OCCUPY ANTIOCH TURKISH ARMY CORPS ON FRONTIER SEQUEL TO THE RECENT “ULTIMATUM” By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. LONDON, June 2.

French troops with armoured cars have occupied Antioch. . It was reported yesterday that there had been serious rioting in Antioch, as a result of which three persons were killed. Turkey is understood to have sent what virtually amounted to an ultimatum to France stating that Turkish troops would march into the Sanjak of Alexandretta (which includes the city of Antioch) unless France conceded control of the territory.
