(Received. This Day at B.tiO a.m.) JERUSAEM, Oct. 26. The press, is complaining that France’s sub-divison of Syria ignores Palestine’s interests. The greater part of Galilee and districts of Tyre and Sidon, are now part of Lebanon State. Tho whole />f 'Eastern Jordan tableland is joined to Damascus. Biblical Gilead is now no man’s land. The Palestine that remains consists of a strip of territory corresponding to the Judea of Roman Empire, whoso economic resources are severely limited, and do not suffice for the needs of a healthy colonising people.
