Intra-Entente Suspicion.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 17.-Ger-
many has started a propaganda of
''whisperings" in an effort to destroy
the confidence of the allied nations in
each other and to try to improve her
condition, Sir Auckland Geddes, Brit
ish ambassador to the United States.
charged IN a speech last night.
Especially are the Germans active
in attempting to damage America in
England. and England in America"
the British representative declared.
1.-The 'Whisperings of suspicion cir
culated among the allied nations have
been easily traced back to German
sources. They seek to create troubled
waters among the other countries to
the advantage of Germany in it's hope
to again become a power.
But. so long as the American peo-
pie and the British people are united
in their understanding and cooperation
in world affairs, the 'whisperers have
no chance to destroy the peace of the
