Temporary arrangements regarding Syria have been agreed upon by France and Great Britain; providing for the replacement of British troops by French troops and assurances that Great Britain will support French desires for a mandate over Syria.
The Marseilles dockers' strike has ceased, the dockers having accepted the employers' offer for an eight hour day.
M. Clemenceau and Mr. Lloyd George have reached a temporary agreement regarding the disposition of the French and British troops in Turkey.
