Beirut Has Seen Earth's
MiUhfv Men Come and

Mighty Men Come and Go
On the face of the rock which over
looks the scenery from Beirut to Trip
oil are written the names of every
conqueror that has invaded Syria from
Sennacherib the Assyrian down to
Field Marshal Allenby, who conquered
Palestine in the World war.
That mighty testament to Syria's
glorious past is one of the few color
full touches to be noted around this
seaport at the foot of the Lebanon.
The climate is damp and sitting in hot
weather. To make life durable. towns
people take to the mountains where
cedars such as those Solomon imported
for his temple still grow in numbers,
although the slopes are no longer for
est-covered.
In almost every direction, trips by
motor out Of Beirut bring one in touch
with the immemorial past. Not far
down the Mediterranean coast lies 81
don. Oxen now pillow the fields where
once stood the great temple of AS
tarte.
Tyre, which the Syrians call Sour,
is farther south. Once the mightiest
city of the East, it is now a fisher
mems village
Between Beirut and Sidon lies
Swalfet, to where Cleopatra is sup
posed to have journeyed for her final
tryst with Anthony before he set out
for the battle of Actium.
