ENGLISH COPY HOME-PLANS OF
 UNITED STATES

London, Nov. 8.-American women in England and some of the men too. have gazed longingly the past few days on photographs of interiors of modest American homes, many of which the London newspapers are publishing to suggest improvement in English living conditions. Their drab surroundings in a high-ceilfng draw ing room with it's inevitable coal grate fire makes them covet the cozy, steam-heated living rooms and clean convenient kitchens they see pie tured
 Great Britain has its housing prob lem as have other European nations. For months the Health Ministry has tried to adopt satisfactory schemes for erecting new houses but has not arrived at any national plan. Up to October 1, 5,O14 schemes had been submitted but none of them fit the entire country.

AIRSHIP FOR
 CURE OF THOSE WITH TUBERCULOSIS

London. Nov. Tine employment of airships as sanatoria for the treat ment of tuberculosis and other dis eases is advocated by a doctor who was attached to the British air force during the war, according to the Globe. The patients. it is pointed out. would be able to live for several days or even weeks at a height of about 5000 feet, enjoying complete rest and breathing air as pure and invigorat- ing as that of any of the famous mountain resorts which only the rich can afford to visit.
 The big airships built by Englani for war purposes, the doctor says, can be fitted up as sanatoria for patients suffering from consumption, anaemia, neurastmia and other ills, and, eX- cept in very bad weather, can cruise about for weeks at i'-.~

V0N MACKENSEN HELD PRISONER
 IN GREEK CITY

Saloniki, Nov. S.-(By The Asso- ciated Press) ):-Field Marshal August Won Mackensen, who commanded the German forces which invaded Ru- mania, 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 of- fcers are permitted freely to go about the streets, but they usually are ac- 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 bra vado not quite in keeping with men whose army had been vanquished.
 Mackensen has been given a large and comfortable house opposite the French Aviation Field and overlook ing the Aegean Sea. It was former ly occupied by the higher French officers and is elegantly furnished A day or two after his arrival the Field Marshal strolled through the roa, ways of the British military encan'~S ment, which is many "acres in extent, and was amazed at the thoroughness and completeness of everything The WlInufdWn 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 destruction of the rail- roads 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 uniform he wears excite 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 a company of Senegalese soldiers and were forced to go through the very tunnel which the former Ger man Emperor ordered constructed in 1916 so that his troops might pass through Serbia. This tunnel is about Q miles rom SkOpl1e- 1here are two inscriptions over it, one in nsGernan and the other in French. The first inscription reads:
 ''The German Kaiser ordered
 this tunnel built so that his
 troops could pass through Ser
 bia.
 The second inscription, which is di- rectly under the German caption reads:
 "General Franchet d'Esperey,
 the French Commander-in-Ch 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 sub. lect

 At the time of his. reported f1eecing of Walker, Strosnider maintained a mansion at F'latbush, L. l. He was the owner of yachts, automobiles and everything else that goes to make up the estate of a millionaire.
 It is the opinion of police through out the country that Strosnider has made more than 1,OGOO00 in his var fous deals and in New York court at one time said: T never rob an honest man, because no honest man would entertain my propositions. In ten years I have easily obtained more than $1O0. 900 from men far worse than myself. There is Q sucker born every minute, except in New York, where the birth rate is one every thirty sec onds'

coy. COOLIDGE WON'T REINSTATE
 POLICE STRIKERS

Boston, Nov. 8.-A final effort to police force returned to duty has been started by the younger men who went out on the night of September g. The plan is to ask that men who were on the force for ten years or more be taken back, while the young CT men accept the edict and seek their future in other lines of employ ment.
 The plan calls for the PoHcemen's Union to vote to relinquish it's char ter from the American Federation of Labor and all membership in their own organiza ton in the hope tha. the older men may be taken back into the department.
 Gov. Coolidge in Springfield Thurs day evening told of ''an effort appar- ently well organized to restore to the responsibility of their former offices the striking Boston policemen" bu. he said he would resist entrusttng to them the public safety
 q favor and am willing to help and have helped find places of employ ment for all these men where they can bring forth works meet for re- pentance," he continued. q shall re- sist entrusting to them the public safety. The forces of Americantsm gathered with so much effort and sacrifice which came to my support and intrusted me with their con- mand are not going to- be ignomini- ously surrendered. The public confi- dence will not be betrayed"
 Lawrence w. Walsh, leader in the plan to restore the older men of the force, said last evening:
 tWe realize we are badly beaten Public sentiment has been against us from the first and to attempt to hold out, as we have been going, is simply playing a losing game that can never win.''
