nesota farmers for letting North Da-
kota men run their affairs. The major
share of that amount would be aid to

The fact that the membership fee in
North Dakota is 50 also is interesting
in this connection.

he says, zone A. c. Townley. head of

intention to extend this organization
to this state. He wants every Min

Consequently he emitted a loud
protest when the incorporation papers

SYRIAN REVOLTS CAUSE
TURKS GREAT TROUBLE
Ansairi Mountain Tribes Reason for
Dispatch Of TroOps-Battie
Is Costly.
INV Associated Press. }

Cairo. Egypt, April S0.-Native re-
volts are causing the Turks great
deal of trouble in the Ansairi noun
tains. in Syria.
The revolt started as result of the
Turkish governments action in send
ing a Turkish battalion to the fAnsatri
district, ostensibly to hunt for desert
ers, but really for taking over the new
harvest The conduct of the troops
provoked the natives to revolt. and a
battle ensued in which the Turkish
force was defeated with 200 casualties,
while the Ansairi lost fewer than sew
enty men.
The Turks retreated after burning
FIVE villages. Later the remnant of the
troops was ordered back to Hama to
await reinforcements, then to. return
to the mountains with a mountain bat
terry to punish the revolters. The punt
tive expedition had to be abandoned,
however, owing to the receipt of news
that the Druses of the Hauran had also
refused to give UP their crops to the
Turkish force which had been sent for
the purpose AS a result Of this re-
fusaL fifteen days battle took place
between FIVE Turkish battalions and the
Druses. The Turks were again defeat
ed, thanks to reinforcements received
by the Druses from neighboring Arab
tribes.
One of the Druse chieftains who was
captured by the Turks was condemned
to death by crucifixion.
