Another instance which will show
what influence Won Mackcnsen has over
Serbia happened shortly after tho fall
cf Nish. The German General Staff in
v;ted group Of correspondents TO 80
to Serbia. They reached Belgrade be
fore Won Mackensen heard Of it, but
when thcv planned TO 20 to Nish ION
Mackensen sent back orders that they
would have TO get out of Serbia i'm
mcdiatoly, ard they did! They took
the first train in that direction and
hurried back % Budapest.
Mackensen and Americans
when the German army reached
Bucharest another group of correspond
ents we're invited to go there as guests
Of the German General staff. When
they arrived in the capital the officer
who acted as their guide reported at
Won Nackensen's headquarters that they
were in the city. and Won Mackensen
who has always hated Americans. asked
whether there were any Americans in
the group. When the captain-escort
from Berlin said Eyes" the Field Mar
shall replied:
Tell them not to recognize me II
they pass me on the street"
Twice every week there is a special
train which goes from Berlin TO Con
stantinople called the Balkan-zug. Nc
ono can travel on this train unless vor
Nackensen grants permission. That Is
the reason it has taken some Of the
American couriers from two weeks tc
two months to get permission to 90 to
Constantinople for the United States
State Department.
Before Won Mackensen came to power
Field Marshal Won der Goltz. the Ger
mar leader, was the power behind the
Turkish throne, but he was finally dis
rosed of while in Bagdad 1t is com
monty believed in Germany that he was
poisoned by Turkish member of his
staff. Baron Won Wangenheim, who
was the German Ambassador in Con-
stantinople, is believed to have met the
same death.
Turks Dislike Germans
Very few Turks like the Germans

There has been more trouble between
the two than the outside world knows,
but it has not been great enough to
interfere with military operations,
which, after all, Is the important thing.
The Turks suspect the Germans. II ~
stated, however, that Constantinople is
guarded bv Germans and not by Turks;
that German officers. being in fear of
cuddcn death at the hands of their al
ties. keep a sufficient force there for
protection.
But Turkey has been a valuable ally
to Germany. Germany and Turkey. to-
gether held the Dardanellcs. and Ger
many has been supplying Turkey with
war materials since the very beginning.
In return Turkey has helped mIlitarily
in Russia and Rumania. The Turkish
army has increased in size during the
war to such an extent that to-day there
are over 100000 Turks in uniform.
These figures were given TO me by a
prominent German who is in close
touch with Constantinople. He said be-
fore the war no one believed the Turk
ish army could be that large.
The loss of Bagdad has been a big
loss to tie Germans and the Turks, be-
cause they had planned to carry opera
tons to Egypt and the Suez Canal this
year. or. at the latest, next spring. By
losing Bagdad this hope will disappear
Last summer the Bulgarian Parlia-
/ ment sent a commission to Berlin and
other German cities to study the food
card system, with the object of report
ing to Sofia whether it would be ad-
visable for Bulgaria 70 institute the
same. The commission was composed
of four university professors Of eco
Monies, most of whom before the en-
trance of Bulgaria into the war were
pro-Entente. They were wined and
dned by high German ministers and
officials. German experts explained
what great effect Bulgaria could have
in lettering food conditions in Ger
many by shipping some supplies and
beginning the food card system. The
commission was about convinced, until
its members talked to Dutch econom-
list who lived in Berlin. Then il re-
turned to Sofia to report against the
Kaser's methods. The result was that
Bulgaria is keeping it's food much to
Germany's sorrow.
