FRENCH FORCED
EVACUATE CAMP
PARIS, Nor. 7 (/P)—Although the
war office dismissed the Syrian situj 4
ation with brief comment, the an
nouncement of the evacuation of a
large French fortified camp in Moroc
co, “because of the regrouping of our
forces, causetf consternation.”
Other information from reliable
sources showed the most serious state
of affairs developing in Morocco, the
Arabs joining Dpebel Druse, a tribes
man in large numbers. The combin- *
ed forces showed a bitter determina
tion to carry the warfare against the
French mandate to the end. The reb
els control; a big part of the territory
now.
In Damascus the French forces are
also meeting with reverses, the rebels
surrounding Damascus.
Illiterate Mayors Found
PARIS, Nov. 6. (^P)—At govern
ment offices in Paris which have to
deal with local administrative affairs,
is not unusual to find official docu
ments on which space for the mayor's ^
signature is filled by a cross with
the regulation phrase: “States he can
not write.”
These illiterate mayors belong
mostly to small and remote villages
where it is difficult to find anyone
to assume the duties of local govern
ment at small pay.
