ment made public the "spurIos yer aes ot Luxburs, and it is believed tn, way It 1t IS not withdrawn.
 The messages given out today wer, made public by the state departmen Tn agreement with the Argentine gov efhtnent which. in an accompanyinj statement by its foreign minister, say me inaccuracies" of the German dip loinats reports are so surprising tha no epithet will fit them. The message. were sent to Argentina soon afte me state department gave out tn Ilrst series of intercepted telegrams put heretofore demands for their pub icatlon have been in vain.
 The first of LuXburg's intercepte, teiegrams were transmitted to Berli ny the Swedish legation at Bueno Alres in it's diplomatic code and pub ncation of that fact by Secretar, Lansing not only threw Argentina int, turmoil, resulting in the dismisss or the charge, but precipitated a cri.i m sweden. No explanation is given me means by which the later message were sent, though one or two of tn teiegrams in today's batch were anon, those gwen out previously. The fam ous spurlos versenkt'' messages il which Luxburg recommended ayoidin, difficulty with Argentina by sinkin, her ships without leaving a trace however, does not appear this time.
 All or the correspondence was ex changed during July, August and earl, september and most of it deals di rectiy With the negotiations then il progress over the sinking of Argentjn shlps by German submarines. Befor tnese messages fell into the hands o the American government German, virtually had settled the matter h, agreeing to pay indemnity and to Urea Argentine ships according to interna tional law. The secret reports nov reveal that Argentina on it's side wa to keep it's ships out of danger by no allowing them to sail for the wa zone--an easy task in view of the fac that she had almost no shipping left throughout the messages Luxbur; dWells upon his difficulties with tn, foreign minister and upon his influenc. with the president. Finally he wa conducting negotiations directly witt the president, although the foreigl minister's attitude made this trouble some. How far President Irigoyen projects for an anti North Americai alliance went, the correspondence doe ~NSs tN'riOP- IL AhCiCis says lfIdf m made up his mind to conclude tn, agreement with Bolivia and Chile, E.: mutual rapprochement for protection vis-a-vis North America" being tn, purpose as described. In the conclud ing telegram of the series, however Luxburg, addressing an unnamed per son in Santiago, Chile, probably tn German minister there, says that a long as Chile is neutral, Germany afte | the war will be able to carry out he South American policy just as we'll not more easily in opposition to al | infatuated ard misguided Argentin as with Argentina on her side" Tfi | apparently was written when the like | lihood of the president holding Argen l tina out of the war appeared to b fading.
 Ambassador Naon of Argentina de clined tonight to make any common upon the matter further than to ss that the statement of the foreign min ister covered the situation. He wa advised of the purpose of the Unite
 States and his government to mak the messages public here and at Bueno Aires simultaneously.
 Count Luxburg still is in Argentina although safe conduct was secured fo him long ago and there have bee 1 frequent announcements of his plan for sailing for North European neut ral country. The last report receive here concerning him said he was un l dergoing treatment in a sanitariunl fc a nervous disorder. For a time he wa | in a detention camp, probably chief
 because the Argentine public was S
 incensed against him that it was nc safe to have him at large
 Following is the statement of th Argentine minister of foreign affair given out with the Luxpurg telegram
