Big War Credit Bill Is Passed
With No Dissent

Washington. Sept. 6.-The
great war credits bill, authorizing
$l1, ,53S.945,46O in bonds and Ger
tificates. passed the House to.
night unanimously. Action by
the Senate as soon as the pend
ing war tax bill is disposed of is
planned by administration lead
erS.
Not a material amendment
was added to the bill by the
House. Representative Moore,
OF Pennsylvania, led a group OF
republicans in a futile fight fol-
consideration of his proposal fol-
a war expenditures committee,
which was thrown out on a
point of order.
Every effort of republicans to
limit the control the bill would
give Secretary McAdoo over the
bonds and certificates resulted in
failure. The last fight, made by
Representative Johnson of Wash.
ington, to direct the secretary to
spend at least 81, 100000 for news
paper advertising in disposing OF
the bonds, was defeated over
whelmi2gly. If the secretary
desires under the measure, he
may use some of the $l7,6OO.0OO
appropriated for disposing of all
the bonds and certificates in
newspaper publicity.

German Agent Caught Sending
Information

Information
Washington. Sept. SCOPES
of three brief dispatches made
public by the state department
today revealed another case of
sinister German diplomacy, this
time directed against Argentina
and involving the Swedish for
eign office in an apparent grave
breach of neutrality and d1plo-
matic propriety,
They were messages to Berlin
from Count Luxbvrg, the Ger
man charge at Buenos Avres,
forwarded by the Swedish lega:
ton there as its own commune
cations. Besides advising that
no concessions be granted Ar
gentina in the submarin. con
troversy, they suggested that the
South American country's ships
be sunk without leaving any
trace" and gave information as
to the sailings and positions of
certain vessels.
The departments statement
was sent to the Argentine EN-
bassy and the Swedish legation
here at the same time it was Civ,
en- to the public. There was no
explanation as to how the mes
sages came into the hands of the
United States nor discussion as
to what may be the result.
The disclosure created sensa
ton IN political circles and
among the neutral diplomats.
Baron Akereelim, the Swedish
charge, IN the absence of advices
from his government, would MOI
comment further than to say it
was improbable that the Swedish
minister OF Buenos Ayres knew
OF the contents of the dispatches.
Axel Robert Nordvall, of the
special Swedish economic mis-
sion, said he was certain that
Baron Lowen, the Swedish min
lister to argentina, had no know
ledge of the contents of the
message.
Moreover, 1 am sure" said
Nordvall, that Sweden would
not have been party to such a
heartless proceeding.
II know Baron Lowen very
we'll. He is not in good health
and it is possible that he was
unaware of the sending of the
messages. If the messages were
transmitted in German code,
even if he could know they
were sent, he could not have
known the contents and NAV
have thought they were harm.
