Motor Car Journey from Jerusalem to Damascus

THE Near East is not the old East any more, in these days of change. A London journal, the Near East, speaking of the recent building of roads to facilitate military operations, says: “A carriage can now travel all the way from Jerusalem to Damascus. The journey was actually accomplished last April by a motor car in one day. The car started from Jerusalem at 5 A. M., stopped for lunch at Tiberias, and reached Damascus at 7 P. M.”
