Gent Semitic stock to Lroduce the
Syrians of today, whom Lord Cromer,
In his memoirs, termed "the cream
of the East
In Syria was the one green spot of
prewar Turkey the Lebanon noun
tains. In ancient times the mountains
were everywhere covered with forests.
The cedars Of Lebanon not only fur
nished timber for the building of Solo
kings of Egypt annually floated large
RATS of logs from the Syrian coast to
supply the demands of the cities of
the Nile. This constant demand from
foreign lands, together with the lack
of any system of reforestation, has
practically denuded the mountains Of
the whole land.
Once more to cover the mountains
and hills with pine and cedar and oak
would be a simple task If carried on
Systematically.
In 1860, because of massacres, the
European powers insisted that these
mountains be made autonomous. And
following that date this little district
became living demonstration of what
good government will produce and of
what the people of the land are capa
BILE of becoming.
Nesting at the base of the Lebanon
In Beirut, a many tinted city pushed
out into the setting sun by the
pressure of this famous mountain
range. This range, just east Of the
city and robbing 1t of the early morn
ing light, towers to $500 feet in
beautiful peak, whose snowy heights
form the crystal screen upon which is
projected the rose glow of some of
the worlds most colorful sunsets.
Names Long Forgotten.
The backbone Of the city stretches
to the west from low alluvial plain
which almost makes Beirut an island.
The wharves are to the north, look
ing away from the more famous but
inferior ports of Tyre and Sidon to
the south, and toward the other Phoe
nician ports of Tripoli and Alex
andretta and Seleucia, all of which
have old Phoenician names long since
forgotten by the inhabitants. Berytus
was the name of Beirut.
The streets are narrow and full of
life. The buildings are kalsomined in
various hues, ugly near at hand, but
truly TurneresQue from distance.
From the harbor there rises a cog
wheel railway which connects the an
,to,t ,;tx 90 Dop,o cc1o to tho 600 cooct
It was this French railway and the
French harbor which gave Beirut It's

The mountains offer various sum-
ner resorts for the city of Beirut and |

lotted with pretty Lebanon villages

set out across the sea as did the
from the same port, but

The population of Beirut Is mixed

During the war whole sections of
he city were RACED to make way for
lew roads and thoroughfares and the
enter of the city Is becoming less and

Though France Is chiefly occupied
with the Ruhr at present, occasiona
dispatches mentioning friction In Syria
recall that that country, too, is proving
something of a problem in French ad
minfstration. France was given
mandate over the country following
the World war. But besides indicat
ing the French mandate, Syria" has
wider historic and geographic sig
nificance. In this larger sense it In
cludes Palestine in short
the whole Mediterranean front Of the
Arabian peninsula.
The future of greater Syria depends
largely upon the development Of its
ports and upon who controls these
strategic centers of politics and COM
MERGE. Alexandretta and Haifa will
attain new Importance If the Darda-
nelles are internationalized and free
passage, open to all nations, cuts
across what Germany was forging as
a archaeological route. All but 300
miles of this road, between Nisifin and
Telzrit, a few miles above Samarra, Is
now complete.
The new line of traffic from Alex
andretta past Aleppo to the Euphrates
river at Jerablus, connecting the Oldest
routes of international commerce, also
separates two important lingual
groups, for Turkish is generally spoken
to the north of the railway and Arabic
to the south.
Whatever political adjustment Is
made between England and France,
Italy and Greece, Arabia and Syria,
conservative Mecca and liberal Beirut,
Zionist and Greek Orthodox, Christian
and Moslem, Maronite and Druse, the
line Of division between the Turkish
and Arabic tongues will be significant,
for language differences as well as
those Of race exert profound effect
on political life in the Levant.
The Haifa railway separates the
northern part of Greater Syria, or
French Syria" from the southern
part, Palestine. Haifa is of impor-
lance because 1t Is the southernmost
Syrian harbor capable of large devel-
opment and Is the terminus of the rail-
way which is becoming the key to Je-
rusalem as well as the more impor-
tant line to Damascus and Mesopo-
tamia. 1t Is the real prize Of the Near
East, for once 1t Is to become the
greatest port of the eastern Med
iterranean llttoral, as 1t was when 1t
served as the chief landing place of

Aside from Its importance as a trade |
route, Syria will find Its greatest fu-
