Tears came to Marthe's eyes. For
two years he had tortured her with
out pity. Nothing could quiet that
soul, made dstrustful and rebellious
by Its own sensitive pride. He made
1t sort of point of honor to doubt
Marthe-to doubt her love. At first
he had not been so completely the
dupe of his morbid vanity. He knew
that his wife was absolutely devoted
to him, that nothing in the world
could alter her affection. But, little
by little, the evil demon had stitled
even the voice of reason. The false
idea had become an obsession. New
ertheless Marthe refused to despair.
The remembrance Of her past hap
plncss still sustained her. She pro-
tested ardcntly:
"Oh, Jacques, why do you say
things which you don't believe! You
know that am prouder of you to-
day than | have ever been. You
know that love you and that you
Will always be my Jacques!"
She sank to her knees and threw
New-York tribune., 1920-04-18

her arms about him. He seer1ed to
hesitate an instant. Then his fea-
lures were cOnvulsed anew.
"Why do you lie to me?" he
growled. 81 don't want your pity.
| shall never want it. Let me
alone"
He thrust her away so brutally
that she lost her balance.
She picked herself up in flash.
Indignation choked her. Then she
mastered herself and decided to
make one last effort. She knelt be-
fore him, laid her little hand on his
long, nervous hand and murmured:
Jacques, what can l do to restore
your confidence in yourself and in
both of us?. Would you like it better
if we two lived in the country some
where, all alone? Would you like to
go on a long voyage? l will do any
thing you ask"
He gazed at her coldly, with a sort
Of hatred.
BE SILENT he said sharply. "You
are talking foolishness. Let us stay
as we are. You will always have u

You are mad. In the first place, you

"No," he interrupted curtly, "you
are making sport Of me. Come, let
us drop all that. Go out. Amuse
yourself and bring me more into de-
rision than ever!"
The blood rose to Marthe's face.
A sudden gust of wrath overcame
her. He was too ungrateful, too
cruel. She couldn't endure any more
of it. She ran to her bedchamber,
put on her hat and coat and got a
little money. Her heart beat con-
vulsively and the hot blood blurred
her vision.
"I'm going to leave him." she re-
peated to herself. "I'm going to

The third document is British
statement, framed by Sir Mark
Sykes, to seven Syrian leaders at
Cairo. 1t is dated June II, 1917.
This assures British support to the

of its existence it took all the dip

She patted his shoulder and
stroked his head caressingly. But
he drew away, showing, as he did so,
his full face-one side rounded and
beautiful, the other disfgured by a
horrible wound.

Aggravates the Friction
The recent coup of Emir Feisal-
the proclamation of the independent
kingdom of Syria-thus tends to ag
gravate the friction of British and
French interests in Syria, caused by
the conflicting pledges given by the
British, under the stress of military
necessity, to their French and Arab
allies respectively. The coup also
cuts across the plan, advocated bv
the Emir Feisal himself during his
visit to Paris last year, that France
be given mandate over Syria-a
plan to which Britain assented.
And here, according to Professor
Brown, we are confronted with the
third aspect of the situation: the
aspirations of Syrian nationahsm.
The Syrians, Professor Brown
says, are a race of ancient Chris
tan culture and considerable native
ability. For centuries a strong sem
tlmental tie, originating in the
period Of the Crusades, linked them
with France, the power recognized
by the Turks as the protector of
Syrian Christians. There is TODAY
strong pro-French tendency in
Syria, fostered chiefly by Syrian
priests, who received their educa-
ton IN France and are thoroughly
French in their culture and outlook.
"Another bulwark of French in
.fuence in Syria" Professor Brown
says, "are the Jesuits. 1t is a curl
Gus fact that the same French re-
public which expelled the religious
orders from its own territory sup
ports them actively in Syria, and is
IN turn supported by them.
"France-the government and
public opinion alike-reckoned with
this sentimental connection of an
clent standing as political reality.
SO it was a bitter disappointment
for the French when they had to re-
allze that what The Syrians want is
not French protectorate, but full
independence.
Nov there is strong likelihood
that the Christian Syrians, who are
endowed as a race with a keen po-
htlcal ability, are to-day using the
Mahometan Arabs-and the pledges
given to the latter by the British
as weapon against French inhu-
ence. The Syrians realize that in
the political game they outdistance
the backward and admnistratively
altogether incapable Arabs at their
pleasure. SO they proclaim Feisal
King, and trust the rest to the
natural development which will
leave them, in the end, masters in
their own household. The Arabs,
in this sense, are playing the Syrian
game without knowing it. At the
same time diplomatic Syrians hope
TO gain by the friction of the Brit
ish and French, which is being CAPT
talized by King Feisal in the pursuit
of Arab ends.

W ant American Mandate

The demand for an American
mandate has been and still is very
strong among, educated Syrians.
They feel that America is the one
power to which they could safely
lntrust their destiny. Unfortunate

"The Turk has always been re-
garded as a foreign intruder by the
Arab; he has, moreover, never actu-
ally conquered Arabia, only the sea-
coast and the important cities. Nor
was his rule ever accepted unques-
tioningly; there was always some re-
bellion or other going on in the in
terror. The Turk found Arabia a
great burden rather than an asset:
he stuck to it chiefly because of the
prestige which the possession of the
holy cities of Islam entailed; lately,
also, because of the great strategic

ut would be more difficult to define
the positive import Of Arab national
ism. For one thing, that cohesive
force which the idea of nationality
has meant for the peoples of Europe
religion supplied to an extent for the
Arabs and the peoples of the East in
general. But the Arab is an extreme
individualist and constitutionally op-
posed to the shackles of political
centralization. The great Arab en-
pire of Mahomet's successors was,
politically speaking, an ephemeral
creation; it began to disintegrate
from the moment of it's birth. Ever
since the Arabs have been living
without a strong central or national
authority. They are the people of
the desert, reckless and proud,
averse to discipline, wanderers by
age-long instinct; their entire mode
of life makes distinctly against ma
tionalism
During the war, when the pros
poets Of the Allies were none too
rosy, the British conceived the idea
of defeating the Turk by way of
Arabia. 1t proved a sound stroke
of craftsmanship, and it's military
execution--the campaign of Allenby
is perhaps the most brilliant ex-
plot of Allied arms in the World
War. Lord Allenby himself, l be-
lieve, is the greatest general pro-
duced by the war.
"1n order to secure Arab coopera-
ton the British had to promise them,
or rather their leaders, Hussein, the
Grand Shereef (warden) of Mecca,
and his son, Feisal, all kinds of
things. They promised them Syria
with Damascus and Aleppo, part of
lrak (Mesopotamia) and all Arabia
proper; they promised practically
the entire ancient realm of the
Omayad caliphs.
Arabs Well Paid
Beside promises, King Hussein
received more palpable encourage
ment, too. He was heavily subsidized
throughout the war, and his army
was paid by the British. And paid
very we'll, too. The days wages of
the Arab soldier was one pound
sterling. He insisted on getting it
in gold, and got it. For this purpose
the British had to maintain con-
tinuous gold transports from Cairo.
Afterward the Arab soldier was
rather embarrassed by his accumu-
lated wealth of British sovereigns:
he practically did not know what to
do with them, and the British Off
GERS bought back the gold at heavy
discount.
"Seeing that the restoration of
the Arab Empire with Damascus as
capital was promised the Arabs, the
proclamation of the Syrian Kingdom
with King Feisal at its head is the
natural climax Of the Arab revival.
But it is a climax which did not
