4 Amsterdam. Sept. 15.-The three
cablegran1s cent by Count Luxburg,
German minister to Argentina, to the
German foreign Office through the
Swedish legation have finally been
permitted to be published in the Ger
man press
The Koelnisch Zeitung says 1t is
easy to understand that the publica-,
ton of these dispatches in Argentina
has made an unpleasant impression
and that President Wilson SO far has,
probably been successful with his
maneuyers, but adds that they can
only be rightly judged If 1t is not for
gotten that they were secret messages
In code and If the dispatches Of en-
tente diplomacy could be read still
more drastic expressions would be en-
countered. sN
It is self-evideflt says the Koelnisch
Zeitung that the German government
cannot be held responsible for the
opinions Of any one OF It'll ministers,
nor the German navy accused Of
atrocities. 1--WE are also confident
that the advice of Count Luxburg will
meet decided disapproval OF our gov
eminent. We demand that the min
lister who forwards such dispatches
be recalled as quickly as possible.
Count Luxburg should be pernaitte to
disappear without leaving any strace
behind" IS
