FIELD MARSHAL INTERNED.
French Keep Won msokensen Prisoner
at Saioniki.

Saloniki, ON. S.-Fieid Marshal
August Won Maekensen. who COM
handed the German forces which in
vaGcd Roumauia and his star have
been brought here by the French mill
tary authorities from northern SERBIA
and informed just outside the city. The
German military leader and his off,
GERS are permitted freely to 20 about
the streets, but they usually are &C
companied by a French officer The
correspondent however. observed two
OF their number riding horseback on
the 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 had been vaaquishod.
Mackensen has been given a large
and comfortable house opposite the
French aviation field and overlooking
the Aegean sea. Il was formerly oc-
cupied by the higher French officers
ard Is elegantly furnished. A day or
two after his arrival the field marshal
stro!led thru the roadways OF the
British military encampment, which
is many acres in extent, and was
amazed at the thoroughness and COM
pieteness Of everything. The British
have since withdrawn from this en-
campment.
The German generalissimo has
changed little IN appearance since the
war and apparently is not worrying
greatly over what fate he may suffer
at the hands OF the allies. The general

here until the allies are ready to Try
him. II IS felt the most serious
charge against him Is his wanton de-
ssructior OF the railroads and other
property in Rouma MIA after the sign
ing OF the arristice.
None Of the allied oTicers Of troops
now salute him as he walks along the
streets OF Saloniki. He sim retains all
his pride in his achievements on the
field. for he wears an iron cross ard
number Of other decorations. These,
and the eaudy red-trimn1ed Uniform he
wears. excite no small curiosity among
the pedestrians of Salon!h.
Mackensen and his aides suffered
double humiliation while en route thru
Serbia. They were guarded by COM
forced to 90 thru the very tunnel wfich
the former German emperor ordered
constructed in 1915 so that his troops
might pass thru Serbia, This tunnel
is about forty-f five miles from Skoplje.
There are two inscriptions over 1t. one
in German and the other in French.
The first inscription reads:
The German Kaiser ordered this
tunnel built so that his troops
could pass thru Serbia"
The second inscription, which Is
directly under the German caption.
reads:
General F'ranchet d'Esperey.
the French COMMUNICATIVE chief,
ordered his troops to drive the
Germans out of Serbia thru this
tunnel"
Mackensen undoubtedly felt the
humiliation Of his position, for he
pointed t. the tablets at the entrance
Of the tunnel and engaged his officers
IN conversation on the subject.
