BERING PROBLEMS
OF PEOPLING PALESTINE
—
LONDON. May 30.— Two principal
recommendations which the civilian i
commission now in Palestine will i
make as a beginning for the, recon
struction of that country will be a
scheme for beginning afforestration,
and a proposal for the conservation
of water supply by storage and by
opening up old springs.
A preliminary statement from a
member of the committee says: "The
greatest of all Palestine’s needs is af
forestration. For centuries the land
has been denuded of its tress, withj
most disastrous consequences. For!
the heavy rains at certain seasons, j
instead of benefiting the soil, over,
more than four-fifths of the area car-1
ry away in rushing torrents much of.
the little soil that remains on the high j
lands and valley slopes.
"Palestine has not always been
,
treeless. The Roman emperors had!
valuable forests in the country, andi
Absolem, riding, was caught by the|
hair among the trees, but today one i
might gallop from Dan to Beershcba I
without having to duck one’s head to j
avoid a branch.
“Trees of rapid growth will be |
planted, and for the more cultivable!
districts fruit-bearing trees will be
utilized.
“The storage of water in lakes and
reservoirs is comparatively simple in
Palestine. By erecting small dams
across certain ways, a scries oftsmall
reservoirs can bq construct*.If ^ liv
tle expense. In Southern Palestine
hundreds of natural springs can be
opened up which under centuries of
misrule have fallen into disuse.
“Palestine today possesses an ad
vantage it never had before in a first
class railway connection with Egypt.
All the surplus crops v ill find a ready
market in the growing Egyptian cit
ies.”
FRENCH TRAINING DOES
TO LEAD BLIND POILUS
i'LESSIS-TREVISE, FRANCE, May
25 (By Mail).—Training of dogs to
lead the blind has become an im
portant institution here, where thou
sands of animals will eventually be
prepared to lead sightless soldiers.
The work is being done under the di
rection of the military authorities by
amateurs who owned kennels of po-C
lice and hunting dogs before the war. j
Several hundred poodles are con i
tinualiy trotting about the neighbor
hood and through the village, some
of them graduates of the big train- :
ing school, leading “poilus” who left
their sight in the trenches or in the
battlefield. This real experience puts 1
the finishing touch to the dog’s ed
ucation.
The training is divided into two
periods, during the first of which the
dog learns what is called "carriage,"
or road behavior, abstenanee from
quarrels and resistance to tempta
tions to playing with other dogs, ne
glect of garbage boxes and butcher
shops. Next he is taught to avoid
obstacles and how to pick his way
across the street with regard for the
vehicles.
Then he is turned over to a sight
less hero of the war and kept under
observation for a few days to make
sure that his training is complete.
The blind man, too, requires a lit
tle training with the dog, for he finds
it an entirely different matter to tol
low the string after having been led
by the arm Guided by a person, he
abandons himself to his conductor
and loses all notion of self-reliance,
feeling that he is dominated by an
other will than his own. Consequent
ly he insufficiently developes his re
maining senses to make up for the
one that is lacking. Led by a dog
which must be ordered, no matter
how efficient his training, he (level- ^
ops the sence of touch and hearing
with remarkable rapidity through the
necessity of remaining constantly at
tentive.
