FRENCH IN SYRIA
TROUBLE. WITH EMIR FEISUL
LONDON, July 20. A telegram from an authoritative French source says that a state of war exists with Emir Feisu, King of Syria, from July 19, in consequence of Emir Feisul's temporising attitude in connection with the French endeavous to arrange the use of the Feyront-Aleppo line via Reyak, which latter is just within Emir Feisal's territoty. The rs of this line is essential for transport communication for the French troops in East Cilicia who are Kemal's endangered awing to the action of Mustapha forces who have cut the other railway. hitherto available. The. French have without opposition occupied Reyrk which is the main junction to Damascus and will probably occupy other railway strategic points. The French point out that this action is dictated by military circum- stances. They have every intention of respecting Emir Feisul's sovereignty under the mandate allotted to the French by the Turkish Treaty and the Anglo-French agreement, but if necessary they will occupy the whole of the Fayrout-Aleppo railway in order to safeguard the situation. until Emir Feisul guarantees unimpeded traffic.
