| phile organd declares that the re.
ports that 500 houses were de-.
stroyed seem doubtful"
Concerning their own losses the
French admit six dead and twenty
wounded, but do not include in
their casualties Senagalese troops,
The correspondent saw one house
where three Senagalese were burned
to death and heard from eye-wit-
nesses of the death OF at least ten
other soldiers Of the French forces.
While the authorities have not
estimated the damage wrought
through shell fire, footing and In.
cendiary fires, 1t is reasonable TO
state that the damage will amount
TO between five and ten million
dollars, not counting the loss to
business.
The Christian population is d.
vided on the subject of whether or
not the bombardment was neces-
sary.

Leading members OF the Amer

vigorously condemn the French
because they did not serve notice
prior to the bombardment and 90
cause they did not protect the
Christian quarters with anything
but Syrian police, many OF whom
shed their uniforms and fled into
private houses while the lombard
ment was in progress.
Thus, opinion differs as to the
need for the bombardment and as
to the extent OF the damage done.

High School team won the &c" class
championship in its district by de-
feating the Mark Twain boys, 1872,
at Block Stadium Friday afternoon.
The Harris boys meet Hawthorne Tor

goal.
The game was won on a 70-yard
run from kickoff in the last period by
Baby Ray" Neal, captain and quar-
terback of the Harris team.
Schaeffer was star in the line,
as was Blunt. Uzzell and Guzman
were good at ends, while Dominguez
and Marechal were good for gains in
the backfield. OAice Harris stopped
Twain four times on the two-yard line.
The Twain boys put up a great
fight and the teams proved evenly
