AMERICAN MOTOR CARS OPEN IIP
REMOTE SECTIONS OF FAR EAST
| BEIRUT, Syria, June IS - (By As
jsoclated Press.)—American automo
: biles threaten to supplant railroads
'in many parts o' the N*ar East,
.Throughout Syria 11 lalestino, Mesop
otamia, and in .ertaln urts of
Transjordania and Arabia, fleets of
American motor ears now link up
remote cities and towns and afford
the traveler a Cheaper and more com
fortable Journey than by rail.
In some of the sparsely settled
and scattered regions of the Medit
erranean and Interior countries, Yan
kee motor cars have blazed the trail
to places which heretofore were ac
cessible only by long and tiresome
journeys on donkeys and camels.
In Syria and Palestine 90 per cent,
of all automobiles in use are of Amer
ican make.
American tourists to the Holy Land
are now able to make the trip from
Beirut to Jerusalem by automobile
over excellent roads. Before the ad
vent of the American car the 200
mile trip from Beirut to the Holy
City occupied nearly a week; to.av
it can be done in ten hours.
A 1 vinripotiu at )intno vuhn f h i it L nf
Palestine as it is deplete! ! • the
Bible a pastoral land untouched by
modern life, would perhaps be sur
prised to find the whole region cov
ered by a great arterial ns*won: ot
splendid roads and fast-moving mo
tor cars. The wooden plow, the hand-1
cythe, and the other primitive lnstru-j
ments which for thousands of years;
were used to make the land fertile1
and productive', have given way to!
modern American agricultural ma-|
c-hinery. In the larger productive;
areas the camel and the ox-cart have!
been surplanted by time-saving pow
er tractors.
In the old days before the war it I
took four days to journey from Jeru !
salem to Nazareth. Today It can be j
done in four hours. Along the old
tracks the camel, heavily laden, still:
wends his way, never so much as
turning his head at the hoot of the
caravan ot automobiles.
The long-cherished idea of a quick
land route from the Mediterranean
to Bagdad and India also has been
brought within the realm of practical
experience by the development of a
motor car service between Beirut and
Haifa and Haifa and Damascus. This
route brings Bagdad within sixty
hours’ Journey by land of the Medit-I
erranean. The course takes one out
through Damascus, then across the
Syrian desert to Kamadje and on t(
Bagdad, a distance of 500 miles, witl:
only one stop halfway between Dam
aacus and Damadja at Rutba Wells
the only available water sourci
throughout that stretch of desert.
