ChicagO.-A message received by the
Tribune from Its correspondent at
Beirut says the French have evacuat-

leaguered BY the Turks. French gar
ris0ns DIT BelemadIr and BOzanti have
not been heard from for d month.

their lives are In serious danger. IA
message has reached Beirut concerning
mission workers who escaped from

because they refuse to desert the or
