COPENHAGEN. March 24.-Germany
has seized upon HunSary's conversion
to Bolshevism as the last straw in
her struggle to keep the allies from
harvesting the fruits Of victory. By
openly threatening to enter the rcd
alliance she is trying to hold mis-
sword Of Damocies over the heads OF
the peacemakers at Paris; hoping thus
TO emerge from the war with a mini
mum loss Of territory and the smallest
possible indemnity, if,;any.

In the Hungarian situation there is
