Syria's Rule For
France By Weygand

Beirut, Syria, July 3 "a. P)--The
recent return of General Weygand.
the French high commissioner for
Syria, has had at least the effect Of
, silencing the persistent rumors that
he was not returning to his post
after going to France on leave.
Reports that he would resign i'm
mediately he reached Paris were set
afioat before General Weygand turn
ed his back to Syria. 1t was even
asserted that on reaching Paris he
informed Poincare that he would not
return to Syria except at the head
OF several divisions of troops with
which to put down the incursions OF
Turkish bandits to the north, and
maintain order within Syria proper.
Although his plans are not known,
II Is safe to assume that General
weygand will make no drastic
changes in the French administra-
tion. The French system of govern
ing Syria has been. and will prob
ably continue, one of comforting
make believe independence on the
governed. The French have set up
independence for high officials.
There is. for instance, a native
"President Of the Syrian Confedera-
ton" and q governor of Damascus.
Actually. these officials are without
power, all the authority being left in
the hands of the French. The pres
ident OF the Syrian Confederation"
may not sign an administrative order
of any kind without approval Of the
French high commissioner.
In the selection of men for posts
with igh-sounding names. the
French have displayed much ingenu-
ity. The idea seems to have been
TO buy on rebels and persons likely
to make trouble. The President of
the Syrian Confederation" 10 none
other than a former brigand leader
in a revolt against the French. To-
gether with his office. the French
conferred upon him the highest grade
of the Legion OF Honor.
In French administrative circles II
is claimed that in a country like
Syria, with IS unequal religious
groups represented in the population.
the mandatory power has to enforce
its authority even though it ire.

BE CAREFUL SKATING
Ice is Said to Be Dangerous
in Most Places and Many
Young People Have Been
Drowned.

River skating right now is alb
solutely dangerous in most places
in the lake region on account of
the mild days we have been hav-
ing. Already there are many
deaths reported from drowning of
children who have ventured out on
lakes and streams near Eagle
River. Over near Minocqua last
week there were several deaths
due to insecure ice and quite a
number others have been reported
from this northern part Of the
state.
Silver lake is reported as having
three inches of ice, while the lakes
and thoroughfares nearby are said
to be unsafe for children to ven
ture upon. If one follows the
freezing of the river at Eagle
River many strange things will be
shown. Today it will be safe as
can be and will hold any number
of skaters; tomorrow, no matter
how cold the weather may be, it
will open up in so many different
places that it is dangerous. Every
connecting stream between the
lakes on the chain is unsafe and
people should not venture on this
ice.
Many skating parties are now
enjoying that sport on Silver, and
it might be well to exercise eau
ton until the ice on that lake has
become Of such thickness that no
danger will follow. Lack of snow
to any extent right now makes for
splendid skating and there is no
better sport for the younger ele-
ment, and for that matter the old
folks. But use care when going
on strange lakes and streams.
