HOW WILL SWEDEN
EXPLAIN TT?
(Continued from page -

holm foreign office without knowing
their nature.
The United States refusal recently
to issue passports to the stockholm
conference is regarded in some quar-
tiers as based on government Know
ledge that it would undoubtedly pc
under German influence and that per-
haps Sweden was purposely fostering
IL as an aid to the enemy.
Switzerland may be under suspl-
clan also.
1t is recalled that her former MIN
lister, Ritter, here played strongly
pro-German part after Count Won
Bernstorff was sent home and that
German agent DR.. Barthelme, former
ly connected with the German en-
bassy. was associated with Ritter
for a time
The worst feature Of the whole
Swedish situation is that 1t points
out how Germany may have received
ship news and other vital military
Information under the cloak OF OH
ciaI' messages sent by neutral.
viii Not Break.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The
United States government has no IN
tention now of breaking relations
with Sweden because of the "spurlos
versenkt" secret communications for
warded for Germany by the Buenos
Aires Swedish minister.
While Sweden's explanation may
alter the American position, 1t was
made officially clear today that the
United States does not feel itself to
be the injured party, and hence that
it cannot we'll break off with Sweden.
In letting it be known that no break
is considered the state department
added that TO establish an injury to the
United States it probably would be
necessary to show that Sweden had
been forwarding information involving
United States affairs.
I tstated that it is possible" Sweden
had been the medium whereby Ger
many learned of the sailing of the first
American troop transports, which Ger
man U boats later attacked. There is
no proof. however, that this was more
than possible"
The state department anticipates
some sort of explanation from Sweden,
but in the meantime the departments
utterances are guarded.
The American government, it is
known, has no absolute proof that the
Stockholm foreign office was fully cog
infant Of the affair and it attaches no
blame to the Swedish people.
1t was Indicated, however, that this
government believes there ought to be
some sort of house cleaning in Sweden
although it has not officially suggested
such course.
Argentina and Great Britain are
held to be the great sufferers in the
incident. The plot was hs-ched on
Argentine's soil by two diplomats
her guests. Great Britain was in
jured because a neutral violated her
cables.
The state department refused to
say whether the messages were sent
in Swedish or German code. The in.
dications are Count Luxburg at
Buenos Aires forwarded them through
the Swedish minister in German code.
This code is known to the state de-
partment in as much as it required
Count Bernstorff to furnish copy oil
it while he was still transmitting
messages from Washington.
The United States does not propose
now to retaliate against Sweden by
cutting off supplies completely. Ne
gotiations with the Swedish commits.
sioners will continue.

handing that all persons not for
American arms at this time be class ed
as enemies and treated accordingly,
Governor Harding today made the
chief address before the big mass
meeting in the house chamber of the
state house He addressed hundreds
'of municipal and county authorities
from all sections of the state. There
were mayors, sheriffs, prosecuting at
.torneys and plain citizens in the aud
fence when Harding said the time has
passed when an American can be neut-
raj"
The task before you and before
me" Harding said, is not so much in
enforcing the states anti-treason law
'as much as preparing the people of
Iowa for the big things that will be
expected Of them before the war
ends"
Harding said that while a great ma
jority of Iowans were loyal, the loyal
ty was latent.
1T must be converted into an act
i've aggressive force" he said.
Sheriffs and prosecuting attorneys
were urged to find every person in
the state who was not loyal to the
Stars and Stripes and give them an op-
portunity to become good citizens and
aid in the fight against Hohenzollern-
ism.
The meeting was called TO rthe pur-
pose Of getting officials better ac-
quainted with the anti-treason law
passed by the last general assembly
and to organize state forces to aid the
government operatives who have been
active in the state recently.

What ReeponslhiIitu Docs.

The saying runs that as soon as
lieutenant is made commander he be-
gins to carry stick, and as soon as a
commander becomes Il captain he
turns religious" For justification of
the latter part of this assertion there
exists the undoubted fact that naval
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things of life. Possibly their
hours of loneliness may conduce to this
frame of mind, though for the most
part their leisure hours are given NJ to
study of matters connected with their
calling. One well-known captain there
was who used to hold prayer meetings,
which any member of the ships com
pany could attend. "Remember there
are no rates to be picked up here" the
captain would warn them before the
meetings started, meaning that any
one who came there hoping to curry
favor and thus get promotion would
be disappointed. And in this the cap
tain was always as good as his word.
