BALKAN JEALOUSIES.

JUGOSLAVIA ORGANISING FRONTIER DEFENCE. LITTLE ENTENTE SUSPICIOUS OF ITALY. AGGRESSIVE AIMS ATTRIBUTED TO ML’SSUHAI. (Received Monday, 9.50 p.m.) LONDON, December 19. The “Dolly Telegraph's” Belgrade correspondent toys that Jugo-Slavia is preparing to defend her frontiers against Austria, Hungary, Italy and Albania by tottling organised irregulars on the Jugoslav side. Jugo-Slavia is oenv need that Italy's toleration of violent anti-Slav demonstrations is part of a deliberate campaign. A French correspondent of the “Daily Tele- , graph” adds that the Foreign Ministers of the Little Entente are i now meeting at Belgrade to exchange views on the latest development of Italian policy. The correspondent states that Signor Mussolini met Senator Berengeur and other leading Frenchmen in November and insisted on tho necessity of territorial changes i* the map of Europe which are more than enough to throw the Continent into war. It is reported ■that Signor Mussolini emphasised that Italy ought to be regarded as the successor to Austria-Hungary and gave expression to ambitions regarding the Balkans comparable with the Pan-Ger man schemes of pre-war days. (The Little Entente is an alliance between Czechoslovakia, ougo-Slavia and Rumania. Formal treaties were signed in 1920 and renewed in 1929. One of the chief aims of the alliance hitherto has been to prevent the restoration of a Hapsburg prince to the throne of Hungary.)
