WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 9.—
The announcement that the United
States Stale Department had ae
(luainted the Argentine republic
■with the fact that the German
agents were making use of the
Swedish government official to re
port state matters from A:.;entina
to Germany has cr. j-ted'a sensation
The State Department revealed the
extent to which this has bee t going
on by making public all particulars
of the activities of Count Luxburg.
the Charge D’Affaires at Hueuns
.Aires most of which were adverse
to the interests of the Argentina
government.
These were not sent by the Count
directly through to Germany, but
were trasmitted through the Swedish
Consul General to his government
which acted through its Foreign
Office as the go-between for what
■was pait of the esp onage system
that prevailed.
A mass of such co nmunications
lias been sent to the Argentina gov
ernment showing the complete me
thod whereby the ac .oils and ac
tivities of the1 former were carefully
reported through the Swedish For-;
eign office :rom Count I.uxhurg and I
to tlie German government.
The most damaging of all s;n ii
correspondence in the expose now I
made is natter the.' urged the
sinking of ay Argentina Ships as
the best method of bringing the
South American republic to time.
Luxburg also belittles tin iniiuence
of the cabinet and exalts the abil
ity of the pro-German interests to
make a break impossible. The
Count also said that with the in
sistent submarining of Argentina
ships not a trace of hostility would

The United States State Depart
ment which lias eome into the pos
session of these papers in some my
sterious way has transmitted all ofi
of them to Buenos Aires for the in
formation of the South American
republic.
It lias been tacitly accepted for
some time that Sweden was pro
German in secret and its neutrality
all a humbug.
XEW YORK, Sept. 9.-—The sen
sation of the day is the expose ot
the Swedish-German activities in
Argentina looking towards a com
plete conversancy with conditions
in the southern republic. The ex
pose rivals the now famous Zim
merman conspiracy with Mexico and
Japan. Prominent Argentine resi
dents in this city declare that it
will mean war with Germany and
a rupture of relations with Sweden.
No theory is advanced by the
public as to the means whereby the
papers giving the Swedish viola
tioas of neutrality away were oe
quired. It is supposed to have been
work of secret agents.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9. -— I
It is not believed that any severance |
of relations will follow with
Sweden in consequence of tin tin
neutral acts of its officials. >’rob
ably these will be given on official
disclaimer although it subjects the
relations of all the powers at war
with Germany and that ot SwetU n
to a severe strain that may break
unde! the pressure just at the pre- j
cent time. Excitement throughout |
the country is mrv great.

The official communique states
that all of the French objectives

PARIS, Sept. 9.—The further
gains on the Meuse reported by the
official communique is greatly en
couraging the French.
The situation is placing the
French in a powerful position for
an advance on the great plains of
the YVoeuvre which however the
Germans have been trying to ren
der impregnable for some months
past.
The belief seems to bo growing
that the Germans have constructed
back of their linea at all points a
formidable barrier ot defenses
which will require immense artille

NEW YORK, Sept. 0.— While
none of the officials in any of tin
capitals ''crn t rni"l discuss t!i<■ prob
able consequence of the discovery
that the Swedish government was
embroiled in the German activities
in Argentina and elsewhere, the
newspapers are discussing the poss
ible consequences of a break with
Sweden and the accession of the
latter to the alliance of the Central
Cowers.
While the Swedish government
may be generally speaking Pro
German it is stated that the masses
are not by any means strongly com
mitted to any such a policy. It is
held by well informed Swedish Am
ericans that the policy being pur
sued would be followed by a gen
eral removal from office of any un
nuetral cabinet members and that
the Swedes will never hear of a
ENGLISH REPLY IS
SENT TO POPE
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Sept. 9.—
It is stated that the British reply
to the Pope’s peace proposals is
now ready to go forward.
It is also stated that the terms
of the reply couched in different
language will practically amount
to .the same thing as that ot the
United States.
it is in fact correct to say that
the reply of Great Britain will be
the same as that of America.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9.—
The work of pushing forward the
fiscal measures of the present spe
cial session of Congress is to be
speeded up according to the deci
sion of the leaders of both Houses.
The work of the revenue bill,
tho special bond bill and the ur
gency deficiency bill, will tax the
time limits ol' the session to the
uttermost.
That all three will pass goes
without saying hut the efforts to
amend the revenue bill did not give
hopes that the conference would
meet anything else but a stormy
joint committee when they get it in
their hands.
