HUN OFFICERS I
DRIVEN THRU
OWN TUNNEL
•
SALON1KI, Nov. 25 (by Associated
Press).—Field Marshal August Von
Mackensen, who commanded the Ger
man forces which invaded Rumania,
and his staff have been brought here
by the French military authorities
from northern Serbia and interned
just outside the city. The German
military leader and his officers are
permitted freely to go about the
streets, hut they usually are accom
panied by a French officer. The cor
respondent, however, observed two of ;
their number riding horseback on the j
outskirts of the city without guards.
Each officer wore an Iron Cross and
displayed a pride and bravado not
quite in keeping with men whose army 1
had been vanquished.
Mackensen has been given a large
and comfortable house opposite the
French aviation field and overlooking ,
the Aegean sea. It was formerly occu- ,
pied by the higher French officers,
and is elegantly furnished. A day or
i n u ui tv-1 »***-■ >* • *. .
strolled through the roadways of the
British military encampment, which is
many acres in extent, and was amazed
at the thoroughness and completeness ^
of everything. The British have since ,
-withdrawn from this encampment.
The German generalissimo has
changed little in appearance since the •
war, and apparently is not woirying
greatly over what fate he may suffer
at the hands of the allies. The gen
eral impression is that he will he in
terned here until the allies are ready
to try him. It is felt that the most
serious charge against him is his wan
ton destruction of the railroads and
other property in Rumania after the
signing of the armistice.
None of the allied officers of troops
now salute him as he walks along the
streets of Saloniki. He still retains
all his pride in his achievements on
the field, for he wears an Iron Cross
and a number of other decorations.
These and the gaudy red-trimmed uni
form he wears excite no small curios
ity among the pedestrians of Saloniki.
Mbckensen and his aides suffered a
double humiliation while en route
through Serbia. They were guarded
by a company of Senegalese soldiers,
and were forced to go through the very
tunnel which the former German em
peror ordered constructed in 1916, so
that his troops might pass through
Serbia. This tunnel is about forty
five miles from Skoplje. There are
two inscriptions over it. one in Ger
man and the other in French. The
first inscription reads:
"The German kaiser ordered this
tunnel built so that his troops could
pass through Serbia.”
The second inscription, which is di
rectly under the general caution,
reads:
“General Franchet dEsperey, the
French commander in chief, ordered
bis troops to drive the Germans out
,ryf Serbia through this tunnel.”
IVlacker^en undoubtedly felt the hu
—r"
niliation of his position, for he point
id to the tablets at the entrance of the
unnel and engaged his officers in
conversation on the subject.
AMERICAN HOMFS TO BE
COPIED IN G T BRITAIN
LONDON, Nov. 25 (by Associated
Press).—American women in England,
ind some of the men too, have gazed
ongingly <the past few days on pho
cographs of modest American homes,
nany of which the London newspapers
ire publishing to suggest improvement
n English living conditions. Their
Irab surroundings in a high-ceilinged
Irawing-room, with its inevitable coal
;rate fire, makes them covet the cozy,
steam-heated living rooms and clean,
•onvenient kitchens they see pictured.
Great Britain has its housing prob
em, as have other European nations.
For months the health ministry has
cried to adopt satisfactory schemes
'or erecting new houses, but has not
irrived at any national plan. Up to
October 1, 5,014 schemes had been sub
nitted, but none of them fits the en
ire country.
