Proas-. Charles R.' Crane aald today
that an Incident bad occurred between
the foiled States consul at Damascus
Syria and the French military aides
there before Mr. Crane's arrival, when
the consul hauled down the American
flag pending an apology from the
French.
"Wo have a true American aouthern
er aa our consul at iHimascua, sir
Crane aald. "Certain circumstance
arbse before niy arrival there In which
the American consul hauled down hla
flag, took down his shield and refused
to have any further relation with the
French authorities until they apolo-
glied.
"Three or four daya went by and the
French became very uneasy. A sort
of an apology waa made which our
consul refused to accept. Then a more
formal one waa sent which he did ac
cept and reaumed relatione."
Objects to Franca
Mr. Crane appeara recently to have
expressed himself very plainly to the
mandate commission of the League of
Nations regarding the disturbed sltua
tlon In Syria. The substance of hla
declaration waa that the Syrians want
ed first of all, complete Independence
and falling that preferred that the
I'nlted Statea take the mandate over
the country. If the Americana were
unwilling, be aald. the Syrians pre
ferred Great Britain, but under no cir
rumatancea wlahed to be under the
French mandate.
Mr. Crane points out that he waa in
Syria solely aa a private cltlxen. He
admits that tn the agitated atmosphere
prevalent, there may have been aome
feeling agalnat Mm, although he de
clares that In neither Syria nor France
tuts he met with anything but courteay
from the French,
He declares "he haa no Jntentlon of
taking the matter up with the French
foreign office. Troublea in Syria were
provoked by "Injudicious talk" by Mr.
Crane, foreign office officlala said, but
up to the prosent they had no Informa
tlon regarding formal condemnation.
Mr. Crane aald he waa confident the
report of hla conviction waa an error,
In explaining hla visit to Syria, Mr.
Crane aald:
Fired en the People
"My reception by the people of Da
mascus was entirely friendly. They
asked why their wishes, made known
to the committee on mandutea tn Tur
key three years ago, never had been
heard from. They said that since thut
time on account of aevere French eon
worship they bad .not been ablo to
make their voice haurd by the outside
world., j Vi ;( '
"Whatever demonstration they made
waa to pinke.me underatand that their
foellngs against the French mandate
wero stronger than ever. They hoped
I could get their pieasago out. Follow

said, "tho French chief ot police
native who has been terrorising Da
mascus ever Since the French occupied
It, used machine guns on unarmed
people and aome of-the lending men
of Damaac'us ware sent to prison for
long terms without trial.
"All these incidents were foreseen
and Indicated In the report on man

done both to the Syrians and to conser
