POLES SPURN THE
RULE OF GERMANY

Amsterdam, Sept. IL I'm speech
at Warsaw General Won Beseler, gov
ernor general Of the Russian territory
occupied by the Germans, frankly hd-
mitted that the Germans had failed
to win the sympathies OF the Poles.
We have experienced much which
we would have preferred not to ex-
perience," he said. 3Sss
\ He complained OF lack of apprecia-
tion3of German efforts, which he at
Ftributed to the ambitious temperament
Bofs the Poles and their objection to re-
ceiying even what was good from the
hands OF others. 81 AL IA
Our work here isSmade very much
more difficult In this way, he con-
tinued. The Poles now complain
that there is still no government, but
this Is q matter which cannot be set
tied offhand They must be satisfied
with our temporary rule, which Is la.

London, Sept. II. The Swed-
ish foreign office, according to
dispatch from Copenhagen to- the
Exchange Telegraph company,
has issued the following state
1nent regarding the Swedisll-Ar-
gentinian revelations:
"The Swedish foreign Office has
not received any account regard
ing the transmission of the tele-
grams mentioned in the state
ments of the government Of the
United States, and the Swedish
government therefore is unable at
present to determine what its po-
sition should be on the question
opened by these statements.
"It is, however, accurate to say
that, just after the world war
broke out the Swedish foreign
minister expressed the opinion
that he ought to transmit a Ger
man telegram concerning the
civil population of Kiao-Chow
(the former German fortress in
the Chinese peninsula of Shan
tung).
U. S. Used Sweden, Also.
Statements to the same effect
were made to the representatives
! of both belligerent groups with
out there being any question of
Sweden taking lover representa-

minister has this year in certain
special cases, demanded and OBJ
tanned permission to transmit
messages to and from Turkey and.
at time when Turkey was not.

and when Sweden had not yet
taken over the protection Of
American interests. ss
