FRENCH PUT DOWN REVOLT.
Crush Latest Druse Effort After
Pitched Battle in Damascu
By the Associated Press

DAMASCUS, Syria, October 21.-
crushing the most serious revolt
started by the DruSe tribesmen since
Frances occupation of Syria under
the League Of Nations mandate. The
trouble was not put down. however,
before a pitched battle had been en-
gagged in and an entire quarter of the
City of Damascus had been virtually
ruined. Artillery, tanks and armored
cars were used by the French.
The troops were surprised by the
suddenness and the bitterness of the
attack. which was carried out by
bands of Druses which had filtered
into the southern part of Damascus
and were joined by members of the
local populace. Heretofore the ac-
tivities of the Druses had been con-
fined to the country districts.
The disorder started at Q o'clock
Monday evening in the Moslem section
of the city and it was only after "a
hours of fierce resistance to the
French troops that the rebels offered
to capitulate. During the fighting the
Druses set fire to numerous stores
and private residences and fought the
French from behind hastily thrown up
barricades.
The French, in addition to meeting
the rebels in hand-t hand combat.
trained their guns on the Moslem sec
ton and bombarded the rebels through
out the entire period of hostility.
Armored cars and tanks also were
effective.
The French losses are declared to
have been light A full surrender by
the rebels is expected shortly.
