A erreat number of physicians' were bred in tho French universities. M.

Tbe first rond opened be tween Damascus and the coast, the Damascus-Beirut line, was French, he said. It was also n French society which before the war undertook the repair of roads in many parts of the Ottoman empire, and a French com pany bad a concession for a bin rail way in Armenia.. The important silk imlusi' of Svria. he added, had been fostered and developed bv France. . "Wo mnv point out also tho crent share of France in the public debt of Turkcv.
