Turks Revolt When
Troops Take Harvest

Cairo. Egypt, April 27.-Native re-
volts are causing the Turks a great
deal of trouble in the Ansairi noun
tains. in Syria.
The revolt started as result of
the Turkish governments action in
Ansairi district, ostensibly to hunt
for deserters, but really for taking
overthe new harvest. The conduct
of the troops provoked the natives
to revolt, and n battle ensued in
which the Turkish force was defeat
ed with 200 casualties, while the
Ansairi lost fewer than 20 men.
The Turks retreated after burning
five villages. Later the remnant of
the troops was ordered back to Ha-
ma to await reinforcements, then to
return to the mountains with q
mountain battery to punish the re-
volters. The punitive expedition had
to be abandoned, however, owing to
the receipt of news that the Druses
of the Hauran had also refused to
force which had been sent for the
purpose. AS a result of this refusal
u fifteen days battle took place be-
tween five Turkish battailions and
the Druses. The Turks were again
defeated, thanks to reinforcements
received by the Druses from neigh
boring Arab tribes. One of the Druse
chieftains who was captured by the
Turks was condemned to death by
crucifiXtion.

Nobody can foretell all the by
products of the war. Certain it is
that new sense of the unity and
solidity of the two Americas Will
eventuate. While war sewers. it also
binds. This grave ordeal is teaching
the self-governing peoples of the
New World that they have a COM
mon mission and a common identity.
For veal or for woe, they are bound
together. Therefore the first and
most obvious obligation is for the
United States and Canada to seek
to understand better the nations to
the South of us, and to become bet
ter understood by them. There must
be sympathetic minds before there
can be any other form of co-opera-.
tion.. To bring about this mood of
unity and friendliness is a first task
of religion, as we'll as OF PATRIOTISM
Whatever enables one nation to
help another is a missionary oppor-

In missionary circles, South Amer

try to understand u.s." Anybody who
reads the L. S. consular reports from
Latin America knows that we have
made a record of arrogance, dicta-
torial methods and amazing provin-
cialism. There has .been almost no
effort to enter into a systematic COM
prehension of the needs and tastes
of the people. In like fashion, we
need to approach the more basic
things of Latin American life: their
spiritual lacks and longings. For
the only way to win men to religion
is to brother them into it.
Only vital faith can make a vital
folk. Nations become great accord
ing to their beliefs. If the South
American countries are to win TO
their fullest possible destiny, it must
be by the people themselves achiev-

tionship with the living God.

the heads of the poems, and quicken
ing the pulses of the young men, and
