GERMANY TO ASK HUGE
DAMAGES FROM ALLIES
American Investigators Say Enemy
Expects Negotiated Peace.

Washington, April 2S-Germany is
preparing a huge bill OF damages
against the entente powers which
they hope will offset the claim for
damages made against them. This
information is contained in report
made by representative Of the
American delegation at Paris which
has been transmitted to America. 1t
is the first official report OF condi-
tions in Germany and of the state of
mind with which the German dele
gates will approach the Peace Con-
ference.
Germany believes she is to have a
negotiated peace. She believes the
first step in this direction was
brought about when the armistice
was signed On the basis of President
Wilson's fourteen points, and will
make. the best of the position which
the arnistice conditions gave her.
She is unrepentant and does not be-
lieve she was defeated, although
higher officials recognize that uncon-
ditional surrender awaited them had
the armistice not been signed.
The report shows former Ambas-
sador Bernstorif is in high position
with the new German Government.
The feeling against Americans has
been running to white heat during
the last month. When in a crowd
Americans are put to great incon-
venience and greatly embarrassed.
Women jab the men in. the ribs with
their elbows and call them yer

Boche, who was savage in victory,
knowing no mercy, is ~ "sycophant
in defeat" a disgusting bootlicking
crawler There is not spark OF ma
tional morality or character left i'll
this generation. The only hope for
Germany is in the generations still
unborn.

Police Asked to Stop Takers Wear
ing Uniform.

Washington, April eS.---Police
chiefs OF all cities of the country
were appealed to today by Col
Arthur Woods. special assistant to
the secretary of war. in charge of the
employment OF discharged soldiers.
to aid the government in preventing
peddlers and street fakirs from wear
ing the uniform of the army or navy,
Col Woods letter said he believed
that many, if not most, of the men in
uniform who were peddling in the
streets never entered the service and
were frauds. Eighty per cent of the
men coming out of the army or navy
go direct to their homes. The de-
clared, and only few OF the 20 per
cent who linger in the cities resort
to the use of the uniform for inn
proper purposes.
