SYRIAN REVOLT
NEW CAMPAIGN PREDICTED.
( 'Times” Service.)
(Received at 11 a.m.) LONDON, January 20The Times’s Haifa correspondent says: The end of France’s Syrian troubles has not yet been sighted. The widespread, deep-roted character of the Nationalist movement is evidenced by the successive failures of the French efforts to separate the Druses from Moslems. The dominant military leaders of the revolt are now Yehya Haya’ti and Mohammed Ismail. The latter is a graduate of a military school in Germany, and was chief of staff to Aliriza Pasha, who occupied Lebanon during the war. Hayati declares that the revolt is still in its infancy. He is now training 12,000 Druses and Havranis, who will be ready to take the field in the spring.
