BEIRUT, JUNE 6 (UP)-ACCORDING TO REPORTS RECEIVED HERE THE BRITISH ARE REINFORCing the tranSJORDANIA GARRISON WITH 10,000 TROOPS NEAR IRBID, WHICH IS CLOSE TO THE SÝRIÁN BORDER.

A Cairo message says that German technicians and officers at Beirut are conducting Syrian Government affairs according to recent arrivals from Syria in Cairo, although it is doubted whether any great force of German ground troops have as yet landed. Competent sources with a very close knowledge of the present situation in Syria believe that only the worst chaos will result from Vichy's compliance with the Axis machinations in Syria.
