MARSHAL MACKENSEN
A PRISONER OF WAR
NAUGHTY GERMAN OFFICER
MAY BE TRIED FOR DE-
.STRUCTION OF RAILROAD

SALONIKI-( ASSOCIATED Press.)
Field Marshall August Won Mack
enson, who commanded the German
forces which invaded Rumania, and
his staff have been brought here by
the French military authorities from
Northern Siberia and interned just
outside the. city. The German mill
tary leader and his officers are per-
mitted freely to go about the streets,
but they usually are accompanied by
a French officer The correspondent,
however, observed two of their num-
ber riding horseback on the outskirts
of the city without guards. Each Of
ficer wore an Iron Cross and dis
played a pride and bravado not quite
in keeping with men whose army had
been vanquished.
| Mackensen has been given large
and comfortable house opposite the
French Aviation Field and overlook
ing the Aegean Sea- 1t was formerly
occupied by the higher French offic-
ers and is elegantly furnished. A day
or two after his arrival the Field
Marshal strolled through the road

ment, which is many acres in extent,

this encampment.
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 gen
eral impression is that he will be in |
termed here until the Allies are ready |
to try him. It is felt the most serious
charge against him is his wanton de-
struction of the railroads and other
property in Rumania after the sign !
ing of the armistice
None of the Allied officers of |
troops now salute him as he walks
along the streets of Saloniki. He still I
retains all his pride in his achieve
ments on the field, for he wears an
Iron Cross and number of other
decorations These and the gaudy
red-trimmed uniform he wears ex-4
cites no small curiosity among the
pedestrians of Saloniki.
Mackensen and his aides suffered
a double humiliation while en- route
through Serbia. They were guarded
by company of Senegalese soldiers
and were forced to go through the
very tunnel which the former German
emperor ordered constructed in 1916
so that his troops might pass through
Serbia. This tunnel is about 45
miles from Skoplje. There are two
over it, one in German
and the other in French. The first
reads:
"The German Kaiser ordered this
tunnel built so that his troops could
pass through Serbia
The second inscription, which is
directly under the German caption,
reads:
General Franchet d'Esperey, the
French commander-in-chief, ordered
his troops to drive the Germans out
Of Serbia through this tunnel"
Mackensen undoubtedly felt the
humiliation of his position for he
pointed to the tablets at the entrance
Of the tunnel and engaged his Of
ficers in conversation on the subject.

RELIEF ASSETS
TO CO FOR EDUCATION

Is Accepted.

BRUSSELS. August 20.-The Belgian
government has accepted the proposal
of Herbert Hoover. director general of
the interallied relief organization, that
the final assets of the Belgian relief
commission. amountin eto about S16,-
100000. be devoted to the creation of
a foundation for the higher education
of children of the workers and peo-
pie of limited means.
The assets consist of deposits in Bel
gian banks and equipment and stores
which have not yet been realized
upon.
.These assets" Mr.. Hoover ex-
planned to the Associated Press.
arise largely from unused funds OF
the commission. During four and
one-half years in which the commits
sion had the duty of provisioning the
Bels in nation it conducted two sepa-
rate and distinct operations The first
was the purchase of food and it's re-
sale to that portion of the Belgian
population which still had means with
which to purchase. and the second
wa sthe free provision of food and
clothing for the destitute.
From the first operation mar
ginal profit was earned. which. in turn.
was devoted to the care of the desti-
tute. Thus. with the approval of the
various governments concerned, an
effective tax was levied on the we'll
to do for the benefit of the poor.
During the period from the ar
mistice TO tbs. winding up of the com
mission in June the economic situa
tion of the population recovered with
great rapidity; SO that nearly 30 per
cent of the seven and one-half mil
lion population were on benevolent
support at the time of the armistice
and by the end of June less than
three hundred thousand were being
supported out of charity.
The commission handled about
81 600. 100000 during the five years.
SO that the remainder represents a
margin of a small fraction of / per
cent.

BLAMED FOR
SLOW PEACE PROGRESS
by WILLIAM f. NASH.
BY Cable to The Star and the Chicago
Daily News. Copyright 1919.

PARIS. August 30-Signor Tittoni
probably will leave Paris for Italy
September 3. and this will tempo
rarily leave the Italian delegation at
the >peace conference without its
leader, although the routine work
will be continued This it is thought
will mean still further delay in the
peace negotiations at time when
both the American and British dele
cations are somewhat undermanned.
Arthur ]. Balfour also has announced
his determination to leave soon for
London.
Italy France and the smaller ma
tions show great impatience at the
delay in American circles caused by
the necessity of laying every i'm
portant project before President Will
son in Washington before decision
can be made. They ask:
why did President Wilson not stay
in Paris if he wanted to continue
negotiating peace?'
1t is said that sometimes he replies
to cable messages from Paris and
sometimes fails to do so. This makes
the task of the American delegation
very difficult.
