LONDON, June 12
It is reported from Paris that the Italians have brought up heavy forces on the Alpine frontier, but have not yet attacked. They would meet a most effective resistance from the strong line of fortifications barring the way to Nice and all ihe Alpine passes.
The Italians blew up a bridge at Yentimiglia, through which the main railway line linking France and Italy passes. _____^_____^_
