French View of Situation.
7 Paris, Sept. 14.-Former Foreign MIN
lister Hanotaux in an interview Satur-
day pointed out the extent Of the devas-
tation in Turkey, bridges blown up, viii
lagos burned and railroad traffic inter-
rupted. Speaking of the Beirut incident,
he said:
"The events at Beirut create new,
morbid condition. The alleged attack
on the American consul has never been
clarified. Was he, or was he not the
victim Of an attack? In any case, the
presence Of the American naval force
has contributed to the efervescence
which eliminated In the outbreak be-
tween Mussulmans and Christians The
vail Of Beirut has been displaced and an
investigation is being conducted by
Turkish officials and American naval
officers. II this is long prolonged the
enervescence may recur since the pas
sions Of those interested are more likely
to be aroused than Gained"
M Hanotaux adds that France should
not be Indifferent to the events in Syria
rs this is a field where her interests and
rights are unquestionable and he de-
clares that nothing should be done at
Beirut or other Syrian points with
out France or against France"
The departure of the French warships
feeling being that the purpose of the
sailing of the ships is not only to safe
guard French interests in Macedonia,
as officially announced, but also to special
1y watch events in Syria, where French
political and commercial interests are
extensive.

respondent of the Times, after visiting
Monastir, sends detailed history of the
Instruction and the Turkish operations
for its Suppression. He says:
emo details have yet been received as
to the result of more remote military
drives, but from information emanat-
/. ing from trustworthy sources not usual
" unfriendly to the Turks there is rea-
son to fear that the country has been
absolutely devastated and all the Chris
tians of both sexes and all ages who
have failed to find refuge in the woods
have been put to the sword -
Paris, Sept 14.-After conference
between the officials of the marine min
istry and Of the foreign Office, it has,
been decided to send the cruiser La
touche-Trevill to Turkish waters with
out waiting for the other ships of the
/ French squadron ordered to be in read
mess to sail for the Levant.
The Latouche-Treville will probably
be followed Immediately by the cruiser
Du Chayla. Their special points of OBJ
servation will be Salonica, Beirut and
Smyrna, but they will not go directly to
these places. The warships will rendez-
vous at the small Greek island of Syria,
off the coast, and within easy steaming
distance Of the disturbed districts.

inforce the two cruisers with large
