(By Review Leased Wire }


WASHINGTON, Sept 11-Sweden's
acknowledgment that her diplomatic
service acted as a channel of COM
munication between the Berlin foreign
office and Count Luxburg, German
charge in Argentina, but was ignor-
ant of the contents of the dispatche,
was received by state department Of
ficials without surprise as was the
declaration that steps will be taken to
prevent repetition of the incident.
Not Sufficient.
But it was made clear that these
simple declarations will not be enough.
Sweden, it was said, is expected to go
further and correct the principle.
Distinction Is Made.
Careful distinction again was made
by Secretary Lansing today between
the government of Sweden and the
people of that country. Il observe"
saide he, that some papers still pub
lish the hiew that we are going to
punish the Swedish nation for the
acts of some of its officials. There is
no such intention. We hape the friend
liest feeling for the Swedish people"
Similar distinction has been reflected
in the press comment from almost ev-
cry foreign capital and also emphasiz-
ed by diplomatic representatives of
the allies here.
Diplomats Call.
Baron Akerheilm, the Swedish
charge here, and Ambassador Naon, of
Argentina, both called at the state de-
partment during the day and confer
red with Secretary Lansing but it was
asserted that neither brought any
communication from his government
information Impaired.
1t is understood that the conference
with the Argentine representative had
for at least one of its object the sug-
gestion to them that the United States |
secret service has delivered to the |
state department additional evidence
of the manner in which Germany has
played with the Argentine govern
ment prior to and even at the time
she gained what her papers styled at
the time as great diplomatic vic
tory" over Germany.
Dispatches arrive.
BUENOS AIRES, Sept 1.-THE
long delayed dispatches from Ambas-
sador Naon, at Washington, regard
ing the Swedish revelations were re-
ceived by the foreign minister late
this afternoon. The ambassador |
sent these dispatches relating to the
revelations regarding the Swedish le-
cation here on Friday but they had !
been stalled along the road. They did
not contain all the information the
foerign minister desired, and the Ar
gentine ambassador was instructed to
see Secretary Lansing Immediately,
for the purpoes of obtain
ing more details.
Passports for Luxburg.
A high official of the foreign office
said this afternoon that Count Lux
burg, the German charge, would be
handed his passports but action by the
government awaits the conference be-
tween the Argentine ambassador and
Secretary Lansing.
Demonstration In Capital.
Hundreds of students took part in
a great demonstration tonight. They
through the streets waving
flags and shouting: Passports! Pass
ports,"
The demonstration was anti-Swedish
as well as anti-German.
Mounted patrols are guarding the
city. Serious discords are threaten
ed.
Explanations.
II is reported at the foreign office
that the Argentine government tomor-
row will ask Berlin and Stockholm
for explanations and that if the gov
ernments disavow the action of their
respective legations. the matter will be
regarded as personal and the two dip
lomatic representatives in question,
and Lowen, will be given
their passports.
PEACE AT ANACONDA.
