FRICTION BETWEEN FRANCE AND ITALY
ARTILLERY ANNOYS FARMERS By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 9.5 a.m. PARIS, Tuesday. Just when it seemed that relations between France and Italy were improving, a new cause of friction has appeared. It was the result of artillery practice carried out by the Italian troops on the Mont Cenis Plateau, which is said to have caused a number of French citizens to leave their houses. Fresh incidents have occurred since a protest was made. It is alleged that on Sunday an Italian officer forced French residents to leave their houses and remain in the shelter of a rock from early morn until the afternoon. “Le Journal” attributes the unfortunate incident to the Treaty of 1861, by which French settlers own pasturage rights and chalets on Italian soil.—A. and N.Z.-Sun. The Mont Cenis Plateau is on the border between France and the Italian province of Piedmont.
