One of the mos-remark developments in the Near and aft East has been the restoration of Bagh dad's historical position as a transporta tion centre of the first importance. The restoration was foreseen by many shrewd judges, including Mr. Winston Churchill, whose vision of the City of the Caliphe as the Aerial Clapham Junction of the Esat will be remembered; and, indeed, the geographical situation of the city made it inevitable, as soon as commercial conditions were able to assert themselves against the legacies of the war spirit and certain European rivalries.
Baghdad's real importance is a centre of world traffic has been emphasised this summer by the constant appearance in the city of round-the world adventurers, Not only have all the round-the-world airman, British, American; French, Porta- guest, and South American, paid the city a visit, but Major Forbes Leith, on his motoring trip from London to Quetta, and the energetic Bombay cycljats, who are going round the world on the older fashioned" push machine, have also in- cinded the city in their programme. Con sidering that the airmen and the road- men were using widely different router for their world-journeys, the fact that they all passed through Baghdad is in itself a proof of the city's key posi tion on the world's highway. WITHIN KINE DAYS OF LONDON.
3fore interesting to the ordinary basi ness man and tourist, however, is the development of the railway and notor convoy sorvices, which has been during the past twelve months extraordinarily rapid. Two years ago, Baghdad had A quick fortnightly air mail to. London vid Cairo, but for the rest, she had to be content with the roundabout way vid India for both passengers and mails Passengers for London could leave once a week, and the journey took over a mouth and cost something like £100 steri ing. Today, the passenger can leave by one or other of the long-distance motor transport companies Practically every day, nad can rely on reaching Londori within twelve, and at times within nine days at a cost ply half of what the journey required in the old days.

FIVE DIFFERENT ROUTEN There are now, Sve distinct routes from Baghdad to London, exclusive of minor deviations. In addition to the quick route red Beirout Alexandria-Trieste, one may travel everland vid Palmyra-Bierout- Marseilles, or Damascus Aleppo-Constant tinople; ace may use the old all-sea way vid Basrab aad Bombay, or, most novel of all, one may take the long and rather uncertain road vid Hamadan-Kazviz- Enzeli-Baku and Moscow Motor cots voys are now operated by three large companies, one British and two local, between Baghdad and the Syrian towns. as well as by a number of pirate firms. Two of the companies use the direct desert track from Ramadi, on the Euphrates to Damascus, the third pre- ferring the rather longer route vid Falmyra The journey this way taken slightly forger, bus ofers the added in ducement of seeing the ruins of Palmyra, and of actually motoring along the fanious highway-built by Zenobia,
