Tmbued With Idea That They
Have Lost War But Are =
Successful at Peace Con-
ference, Reports.
MAY BE- ACCOUNT OF
RUMORED DIFFERENCE
Bernstorff Says I'VE We Made
Some Awful Blunders;
Never Had Anything
on Paris.
By FRANK ]. TAYLOR

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, April 15--The Germans
are more and more imbued with the
idea that although they have lost the
war they are winning at the peace
conference.
Two months ago they were ready
to accent any kind of a peace, but.
they are now becoming independent
to the extent of cockiness. don't
know whether this is a result of the
natural delays in Paris and the con-
tinued stream Of reports issuing
therefrom to the effect that the al
lies widely differ on important sub
jects, or whether it is part OF the
organized plan of the German mem
bers OF the old regime
They are certainly making the
most of the situation and are en-
deavoring to educate the people to
the idea that they should turn to the
bolsheviki if the peace dictated by
the allies is unsatis factory, believing
that few of the German diplomats
viii be given definite and final
set back.
Count Won Bernstorff former am
bassador to the United States is elat-
ed met him the other day on the
street
"It isn't diplomatic to say this and
I ought not tell you that we've been
damned foolish in the past and have
made an awful blunder. We never
had anything on Paris" Bernstorff
declared
Bernstorff is tho first man l re-
member hearing predict that Ger
many would go bolsheyistic if the
peace terms dictated by the allies
are harsh.

 Smith has agreed to box for nothing, and has requested that the promoters give O'DOwd the entire purse"
 According to Lippe, he and Smith have but one ambition--to get Mike O'Dowd in a ring with Smith on any terms.
 O. s. French, John Twomey and other local boxing promoters and en- thusiasts have secured the permission of the Mexican authorities in Naco for holding a finish boxing bout in the Mexico border city, and will now make every effort to arrange a Smith O'Dowd match.
