  We address the question of the Lorentz nature of the effective long-range
interquark interaction generated by the QCD string with quarks at the ends.
Studying the Dyson-Schwinger equation for a heavy-light quark-antiquark system,
we demonstrate explicitly how a Lorentz-scalar interaction appears in the
Diraclike equation for the light quark, as a consequence of chiral symmetry
breaking. We argue that the effective interquark interaction in the Hamiltonian
of the QCD string with quarks at the ends stems from this effective scalar
interaction.
