GERMAN PROPAGANDA
Government Giving Close At
tention to Efficiency Of
of Service Abroad

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.--with re-
peated evidences of increased activity
in neutral countries by German propa-
gandists, the American Government Ia
giving sharp attention 10 its diplomatic
service "
Dissatisfaction has been aroused IN
some official quarters that American
diplomatic representatives abroad have
not worked more vigorously TO offset the
lying and Intriguing of tho German
agents.
In Spain the pro-German propaganda
has been particularly pernicious, and
the country of Alfonso has long been
wavering between war on the side of the
Allies and Gcrmans AS recently re-
ported by the United Press. Germany
has found Spain valuable field not only
for actual service to her submarines and
for Information concerning world events.
but also for propaganda work.
In view of the German work 10 dis
credit the United states, wide discus
sion here has followed production by
allied diplomats in Washington of an
alleged interview with Dominic T. MUIR
phy, American representative and con-
sui general at Sofia. Bulgaria. The in
tervicw AZ published in the semioficiaf
Bulgarian newspaper. Kambana. credits
Murphy with assurances that the United
states Will not war on Bulgaria. dis
credits the activities of former Anlbas-
sador Gerard in bringing about war be-
tween the United states and Germany
and predicts an early peace at the cost
of the weary Allies.
The ltambana is thoroughly Ger
manophlc, according to allied diplomats
here. and they SEQ in the alleged inter-
view an effort to discredit Murphy.
Diplomats cannot believe that Murphy
uttered the expressions accredited to
him.
Tho state Department is investigating
the matter.
