The present trouble was brought about first by the criminal act of a Druse. and following this by an im- politic effort of France to seize the criminal.

In doing so they ignored the ancient Druse law which says that 1n the circumstances the criminal was entitled ‘to sanctuary. It is pro- bable that at the time few Druscs bad any sympathy for the bandit, but their religious susceptibilities were shocked when the French dis- regarded one of their most respect- ed traditions.
