FRANCE AND SYRIA.
SEEKIIMG PEACE FORMULA. REBEL LEADER KILLED. (Received 12.30 a.m.) Reuter. DAMASCUS, Doc. 31. Hassan Ivharrat, a notorious rebel leader, who was killed, fell in a fight outside the city. His most recent effort was the announcement that he had detailed 40 men to decapitate M. de Jouvenel, the French Commissioner. The Beyrout Druses refuse formal submission, especially as this involves the laying down of th<>ir arms. They say that never in their. history have they surrendered their weapons, which are necessary for their protection against raiding Bedouins and the general lawlessness of the Jebel. The French are endeavouring to find a formula to satisfy the chiefs.
