was forced back 10 the limo Of low hills
southwest of Allepo. A motorcar was
sent into the city demanding its sur
render. The officer was well received
by the Turks, who said they hoped for
peace, but the commander sent back an
official reply that he did not consider
an answer necessary. The cars retired
to the hills south of Tuman.
