Germany's Reported Attitude

.ShOw Down"

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.-lf the atti-
tude OF the German Government is
correctly represented in the stockholm
newspaper, which says that Berlin has
instructed its ENJOYS not to reveal the
contents of a code message submitted
for transmission by the Swedish Gov
ernment. an issue has been raised be-
tween Germany and the neutrals. which,
in the opinion Of officials here, can
eventuate only in a decisive "show

Representatives. of this Government
find II inconceivable that any of the
neutrals-at least any Of them that
wish to retain the friendship Of the
Entente-ever again would consent to
transmit messages for German diplo-
mats without knowing every word sub
mitted. Having Ful knowledge of the
manner in which such privileges are
abused by the Germans a neutral Gov
ernment Immediately would invite the
suspicion of deliberate friendliness to
the Imperial Government II it did not
insist upon translation OF the code,
according to the viewpoint in Wash
ington.
II is believed that the only effect OF
Germanys instructions to the envoys
will be to bring forth definite, II not in

ernments. Germany will thus he shut

PErRoGRAD. Sept. 11.-Gen. kaledines

been sought by the provisional Govern

The Council. however. replied that It

ferences Of the Cossacks in his official
capacity as hetman.
