GUARDING FRONTIER
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
(Received October 9, 1 p.m.)
LONDON, October 8. Determined to maintain the integ-) rity of French Somaliland the authorities at Jibuti have landed six artillery tractors, an ambulance, collapsible huts, nine hundred Senegalese sharpshooters, and twenty white officers, and have stationed these on the frontier in order to prevent fleeing belligerents from crossing the border as the possible result of the Italians' occupation of Mount Moussa AH. A hundred and sixty white troops have been sent to Diredawa as railway guards. Other points will be protected later. Three companies of native troops and twelve aeroplanes will defend Jibuti. .'3&£
