STRESEMANN TALK
AROUSES GERMANY
Berlin Circles Fear Speech
Might Be Construed as
UnfriendIy to U. S.

BY. the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 25.-There was wide
spread apprehension in German official
circles today, particularly close to the
foreign Office, lest references in yester-
days Reichstag speech of Gustav
Stresemann, foreign minister, infering
that Europe was colony of America
would be construed as unfriendly to
washington.
His statement was in refutation to Ma
tionalist charges that Germany was be-
ing made a colony Of the former allies
I'VE are neither an English nor a
French colony" he said, but it seems
doubtful If all Europe is not IN danger
of becoming colony Of those wi1c
were luckier than we.
THAT at Paris, the colonies got to-
gether to relieve one anothers' situa-
ton by mutual concessions-because
there certainly were no concessions
Forthcoming from the other side---is a
fact which cannot be removed from the
history of the Paris negotiations"
Deutsche Allgen1eiIle Zeitung, whose
editor is close friend of DR.. StreSe-
mann, published this morning an edi-
torial emphasizing the foreign minis
ter's warm pro-American feeling. TN
the context where the sentences were
spoken we see not even the least
sign of unfriendiy iEtention toward the
United States, and tell 1t altogether
absurd, especially in the case of Or
Stresemann, to support such an inclina-
tion"
1t added that DIR. Stresemann's state
men was much more against England
and France than America, since the
so-called victorious nations are declared
to have lost the war as much as Ger
many, because, like Germany, they
have heavy financial debts, i'll then
case, to the United States"

BOSTON, December 13-Jackie
Fields. welterweight champion, will defy
the Jinx that trails titleholders in this
city tonight In a clash with the hard-
punching Gorilla" Jones Of Akron,
Ohio, in q non-title bout at the Boston
Garden.
Five champions have come to grief
in this city during the last year. but
this series of mishaps has not worried
Fields. 1t has, however. caused consid-
cradle thought among those who wager
on boxing contests, as there are enough
Jones admirers hereabouts to shorten
the odds to 1919 on the champion.
Fields is confident that his terrific
left hooks, which won him the title
from Joe Dundee recently, will be as ef-
fective against the Akron negro. The
latter has an idea that the champion is
a bit weak against a short right hook,
his favorite blow. A victory for Jones
would add greatly to his prestige and
rudely disrupt a Chicago promoters

Thompson. another Negro welterweight.
