ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Nov. 4.
(A. P.) Two American deBtroyera,
which had been lying here awaiting
orders, left hurriedly this morning
for Beirut, Syria.
While the action of the consul at
Beirut in calling the destroyers was
merely a precautionary measure, it
reflects the uneasiness among Amer
ican and other foreign residents of
Syria over the spread of dissatis
faction among the native population
since the Damascus bombardment by
the French, .
A majority of the' Americans in
Syria aro resident in Beirut, where
the American university engages the
services of some fifty American pro
fessors and Instructors, nearly all of
whom have their families with them.
The university Itself Is a large es
tablishment .representing, an invest
ment of Borne two million dollars
and there is naturally apprehension
among the Americana at Beirut over
the possibility that the revolutionary
disturbances aimed at the French
mandatory authorities might spread
to that port. .- -. . ' --
Since the' Dnmascus disorders there
has been a genernl gathering of for
eign women and Children from In

been rumors of further uprisings

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. (A, P.)
Two American destroyers, the Cogh

American Consul Paul Knabenahue

to proceed to Beirut, although there
was no Immediate danger to Ameri

BEIRUT, Syria, Nov. 4. (A. .P.)
A number of rebels are attempting to
