The villagers of other localities fled to the coast, many coming to Saida, where the French have a destroyer. Saida is a Moslem town and it did not conceal its de- light at the arrival of the refugees. The Moslems are friendly to the Drusss. Houses were illuminated and a_feast prepared.

Sarrail, recently recalled as high commissioner to Syria, arrived in Paris yesterday from Damascus. He informed those beseeching him for information that France's problem in Syria was capable of solution and would be solved. He maintained si- } lence on the events of the Druse re- belllon and would only say: “Upon the great chessboard, which is Syria, I was the only executive agent. There were some problems of a diplomatic order of which my eye was ignorant, gome negotfations which escaped me.” M. de Jouvenel, who succeeds Gen. Sarrall as high commissioner, was {one of the first to greet him at the station. He asked for the latest In- | formation. Gen. Sarrall seemed greatly surprised and replied: “This is hardly the time or place for such a question.” M. de Jouvenel pressed the neces- sity of his knowing the exact situa- tion, and Sarrail finally granted him an interview for the afterndon.
