P"ris, Dec. I2.
The Temps tonight publishes an ex-
elusive account regarding a conflict in
Syria between French troops, including
artillery and machine guns. and a Turk
detachment from the region north OF
Adana and Aintab. The Foreign Office
has not yet confirmed the report, but the
newspaper says the Turks were the vic
tors, capturing large quantities of ma
terials and many prisoners. and adds
that the French casualties were heavy.
Editorially the Temps uses the conflict
as another argument for immediate re-
vision of the Sevres treaty in order to
assure reace with the Turks before the
whole Near East including what hereto

hold on all classes.

Paris. Dec. IL.
French diplomats, who have consid-
cred Gabriel d'Annunzio's opposition to
the Hapallo treaty merely as another
whim of the poet-soldier. which the
italian Government would easily over
come, now admit they are considerably
worried, as the danger of-ethe collapse
OF premier Giolitti's Cabinet Increases
daily.
THE New YoRK HERALD correspondent
is informed that the subject is being
watched anxiously by high Government
officials, as 1t may have a serious effect
on not only the Greek situation and tho
Turkish treaty, but also on the whole
problem of allied relationship which
seemed so satisfactorily settled when
Count Sforza and PrernierB Leygues
and Lloyd George met in London fort
night ago.
D'Annunzlo is expected to gain adj
hesion Of other units of the Italian
navy which would insure his hold on
the Daimation coast and the important
island outposts as despite the fact that
groups of Italian Socialists voted for
ratification OF the Rapallo pact. they
have now countered with declarations
that they will not allow D'Annunzio
to be interfered with either by the Ital.
ian army or navy.

case II seems to be assured that friends
Of former Premier Francesca Nitti will
hold the leading places in the new Cab
met. This is certain to provoke dissen-
sion In Allied circles, observers say, con-
sidering Signor Nittis frequent criti-
cisms of the French policy.
French officials expressed the fear that
the temperance of Signor Nittis party
would be signal for Italy's irreconcil-
ables and those in Germany and Hun
gary to start trouble Such possibilities
have been the subject of rumors for
some time in Allied circles In Berlin
which have been urging Allied occupa-
ton of the Ruhr as a warning to Ger
many not to indulge in such hopes for
revenge. The French Foreign Office Is
understood TO be studying the situation
and possible measures in view OF Ger
many's uncompromising reply to Allied
warnings regarding hostile speeches in
the Rhineland and the failure of Ger
many to dIsarm her citizens guard
which is believed to be the nusleus of
movement for distribution of propaganda
through Central Europe and the over
throw Of the treaty obligations.

action to prevent the movement from
