COMPULSION AND FOREIGNERS.
A SYRIAN IN REPLY. Sir,—Being a foreigner and a Syrian, too, J. wits rather interested to notice in your paper of 30th inst. n letter signed by a gentleman who called himself "Traveller," as regard to the Assyrians. If the gentleman would take the trouble aitrl find for himself what the Syrian community are doing I think he will be much satisfied. Also, I would show him in tho Fifth, (lie Eighth, the Eleventh, and Thirteenth Reinforcements many boys who left their positions and lmve gone to the front. Also, I will find a father and two sons, who left a mother behind them to battle for herself, going to the front to shed their blood iov the country, and bo loyal to the P'fig that gives them and thoir people protection. So the Syrian people are not laughing and growing fat, as your.correspondent says, but they aro showing their appreciation, and would not shirk from their duty. TKey are willing and proud to do their share according to their ability.—l am, etc., SYRIAN. May 31,
