Such were the people. Now just try to imagine the state of the country. ' There were no roads, ' no railways ; a few wells whose primitive pumps were worked by a camel or a donkey gave hardly enough water for the domestic requirements of the scanty Arab population; no safety at all, the towns being- hardly less insecure than the open country ; and fever everywhere, due more than to any other agency to the apathy and neglect shown by the Government regarding anything concerning the public weal. ...The soil itself, tortured for centuries by a most exacting system of tillage wherein restitutions in the shape of manure found no place, had lost much of its once vaunted fertility. In the mountainous parts of the country the destructive hand of time had been allowed to lay in ruins the walls and terraces that had in olden times maintained on the surface of the rocks a layer of good soil, thanks to which the western -seaward slopes of the mountains of Judah were covered with one never-ending succession of vineyards and of orchards of olives and almonds ; and as a result of the decay of these terraces, the fertile layer of soil had been washed away by the torrential winter rains, and the bare rock on which no tree will take root stared to heaven like a mute yet eloquent witness of the criminal incapacity of the dwellers in the land and their governments.
