BRITISH WATCH ON SYRIA
London, To-day.
The following authoritative statement has been issued in London:
His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom understands that General Mittelhauser, the commander- in-chief of the French forces in the Levant, has stated that hostilities have ceased in Syria.
His Majesty's Government að- sumes that this does not mean that if Germany or italy sought to oc- cupy Syria or Lebanon and were to try to do so in the face of Bri- tish command of the sea that no attempt would be made by the French forces to oppose them.
They, however, hold themselves free to take whatever measures they may,
in such circumstances consider neces- sary in their own interests.
Any action which they may here- after be obliged to take in fulfil- ment of this declaration wil be entirely without prejudice to
the future status of the territories now under French mandate.-Reuter.

One of the Hurricane formations en-
countered a patrol of six Messersch- mitt 109s over France.
The Wing Commander leading the Hurricane formation immediately at- tacked. He shot down three enemy aircraft himself, two of them falling in flames off the French coast.
In addition, the fighter pilots en- gaged in the action believe they de- stroyed two others.

At the same time, two pilots another Hurricane squadron were, aș
their reports state, "staging a show of their own."-British Wireless.`
