Some of the "Battles''

New York, Sept. 12.-While the navy
department has announced only two sea
fights in which United States vessels
participated and there have as yet been
no land engagements between Ameri-
cans and Germans, letters giving ru-
mors, reports and alleged details of
numerous battles are beginning to ap-
pear.
The New York Times today printed
letter from man said to be with
Pershing's s force, dated August %, and
describing destruction of four subma-
rines and the finding for forty seven
drowned German sailors. This letter
also says destroyers-presumably Am
erican-raided a U-boat house, sink
ing five. The writer gives many de-
tails, describes the age and appear
ance of prisoners and says six destroy
ers and two aeroplanes, in one clash,
defended five transports from twelve
submarines.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The war and
navy departments declared officially
today they have no reports confirming
statements contained in letters print
ed in New Yrok papers today as to
an engagement with German destroy
er; as to battle between submarines
and transport convoy; or as to di-

In the latter matter, it was explain

ary forces had not yet gone to the
front and that if any Americans were
fighting around Lens they must have
been of the foreign legion.

Petrograd, Sept. 12.-Tsarkoe SeIo

his time in his summer palace, may be
the scene of the first big clash between
General Kornilolf S rebels and the pro-

Word received here today said the

Press reports received here today as

newly named commander in chief of
Russia S armies, has joined Korniloff

Diplomats Say Her Love for
Germany Caused Breach
Of Neutrality
ELECTIONS NOW ON WILL
CAUSE GREAT CHANGES
Sweden Will Be RatiOned But
Her Supplies viii Be Made
Much Lighter

United Press staff correspondent
London, Sept. PA woman s hand
today is threatening to push the crown
from another roval husband s head.
Far reaching internal changes in
Sweden, which might mean the retire.
ment of the present rulers, King GUS
tav and Queen Victoria--are extremely
probable as result of the expose of
Sweden IS duplicity in acting as mes
senger for Germany, according to Swed
ish authorities here.
The change that may come will be
such that it will be possible no longer
to doubt that Sweden is purely pro-
Swedish. This might mean the eiimina-
tion of Sweden s German born queen
and her royal husband.
'Another Sophie" was the way
prominent Swedes in London referred
to Queen Victoria today.
Busy Saving Her Throne
She is a clever, ambitious, intriguing
woman, welding great influence over
the king. Queen Sophie of Greece, the
lkaiser's sister, cost Constantine his
throne. And while the Swedish govern
ment is nominally not controlled by
the throne, Queen Victoria is credited
with having exercised great power,
be,h socially and politically, over pow
erful timer circles.
Queen Victoria is a princess of Ba-
den. Within the realm of her influence
have been members of the nobility and
wealthy senators. From among such
men most of Sweden s diplomats have
been chosen. 1t is the diplomatic SER
vice which now stands accused in the
revelations from Washington.
"The queen has been less active late
ly than usual, " one Swedish financier
remarked here today. ''She has been
busy saving her throne.
Asked whether a republic in Sweden
was within the range of possibility, he
replied in the negative.
"The crown prince Isl highly regard
cd the United Press Informant said,
"and, besides, his wife is Englis."

Will Discipline Her


Washington, Sept. 2-Scandinavian
diplomats declared today Sweden IS pro-
German conservative government will
fall because of the LowenL Luxburg
"spurlos versenktp correspondence
sent via Sweden from Argentine. Their
advices indicated that the liberal and
socialist movement is growing so rap
idly that the Swedish elections this
month will result in a great overturn.
The state department is not content
with Sweden s press announcement
that she will not permit the Argentine
incident to occur again and holds that
there should be complete cessation OF
the admitted practice of acting as Ger
many s messenger.
If this does not come about then the
allies will consider their course Of ac-
ton as to planned disciplinary steps.
Already the censorship is strieter with
respect to all neutrals and Sweden s
messages from all parts of the world
are under careful allied scrutiny. Sec
retary Lansing has further documents
showing Sweden S messenger service,
though he indicates that they do not
bear on Germany 5 conduct as the

Will Reduce Supplies
As to reports that offending Swedish
Minister Lowen at Bucnos Aires will
not be recalled, the government was in
clined to feel today that was largely
a matter for Argentine to consider, in
asmuch as she was the prospective sut-
ferer of his aid to the intriguing Ger
man minister, LuXburg.
Secretary Lansing still emphasizes
that this government has no intention
of furnishing the Swedish "nation" or
npeople", as distinguished from the
ruling goverment-but he does nos

1t is pretty safe to say that not
