ENGLAND FEARS
PUT EXISTS 10
STRENGTHEN HUN
Britishers Place No Confidence In
Good Faith of Germans and
Scent Trouble.
LONDON’.—The Express, one of
the leading London dailies, gives
great prominence to an article which
says that the possibility exists of a
German plot to trick the Allies and
create a federation of German states
exceeding the strength and resources
of the former German Empire.
The article contends that the
kaiser is supporting Chancellor Ebert
and points out that the kaiser has
signed no formal abdication nor
issued a valedictory number, as is
customary whenever monarehs re
linquish their thrones and rights to
rule over the people
Great stress is laid in the article
in the Express on this ommission on
the part of the kiaser, and it points
out that this ought to lead the
Allied statesmen and diplomats to the
belief that there is something brew
ing in the direction of a plot to trap
the Allies.
