GALLANT FIGHT ON FRONTIER
FRENCH OFFICER'S LAST STAND
RELIEF EXPEDITION CUT
TO PIECES
Paris, Jan. 22. The young French administrative officer, M. Bernard, who was killed by Abyssinian tribesmen, to gether with more than a hundred of the men under his command, on the frontier of French Somaliland in the Dikil region, recently, died only after a most heroic fight, and when trying to take aid to beleaguered French Somaliland tribesmen, according to a French Colonial Office communique.
It is known that the Assaimaras tribesmen and the Issas clan were fighting on the frontier in one of their periodic wars, and that M. Bernard, leading a force of sixteen native troopers and 88 Issas, from French Somaliland, pushed forward to intervene.
A high authority suggests that M. Bernard's action was perhaps imprudent, for he had with him so many Issas, the blood enemies of the Assaimaras.
The French Government doos not intend to take diplomatic action in the matter as it recognises that the Abyssinian Government cannot be held res ponsible for sporadic outlawry on the far frontiers of the king- dom.
