LONDON September 10.--The follow

Press to-day with reference to the reve-

There Is no need for any action on
the part of the allies regarding the
Swedish exposure, nor is any action,
joint or otherwise contemplated Tho
facts as narrated speak for themselves
This is not a case Of any quarrel on
the part of the allies with the Swedish
people. but OF individual action by in
dividual officials which. 1t is confidently
believed. will be strongly resented by
the Swedish people. There can BIO no
doubt that Sweden will take the earliest
opportunity to explain her position and
thus. II is hoped, will clear the air
and even lead to better understand

1T is we'll known that there is a
small militarist group in Sweden which
might possibly approve OF such be-
havior as has now. come to light. but
1t is confidently expected that the bulk
of the Swedish people will share the
view OF the world at large regarding
the barbarous intrigues of Germany.

LONDON. September 1.-THE Swed-
ish Foreign Office. according to dis
patch from Copenhagen to the Elk
change Telegraph Company. has issued
the following statement regarding the
wedish-Argentinian revelations:
The Swedish Foreign ONCE has not
received any account regarding the
transmission of the kilograms men
toned in the statements Of tho gov
erpment OF the United States. and the
Swedish government. therefore. is UNI
able at present to determine what its
position should be on the questions
opened UP by these statements
ut 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
German telegram concerning the civil
population of kiao Chow the former
German fortress In the Chinese PENN
sula Of Shantrng).
Statements to the same effect were
made to tho representatives Of both
belliEcrent groups without there being
any question OF Sweden taking over
representation OF any powers interests.

In state OF war with America and
when Sweden had not yet taken over
tho protection of American interests.
In the summer of 1915 the wish was
expressed from the British side that
the transmission of kilograms between
Germany and North America should
cease. No formal demand was made
but Notwithstanding this. the Foreign
Minister acceded TO the wish The
Swedish minister. who was cognizant
OF all the negotiations. was of tho
opinion that this was no bar to the
continued transmission OF kilograms to
neutral states other than the United
States. and, therefore. to Argentina
Since then Sweden has continued to be
the intermediary for communications
between Germany and Argentine.
The telegram mentioned in tho
American statement was written in
code. and In transmitting it the Swedish
minister was by that reason unable to
decipher it. Whether it's contents were
rs represented, Is point WHICH the
first duty OF the Swedish government
must he to confirm. and it's next action
must be TO get an explanation from
Germany If it be found that any misuse
has taken place Sweden will also.
without regard TO any reference made
TO her. take measures to prevent any
repetition of the incident.
NO application to the cessation
OF the transmission of kilograms from
Germany to the Argentine Republic has
yet been made either by the British or
American governments. even now or at
an earlier period.
The whole affair has only become
known to the public through the press.
