WASHINGTON, Sept 10-While the American government awaited de- velopments today following Secretary Lansing's disclosures regarding the transmission of official German dis patches by the Swedish charge at Blu enos Aires. Washington officials and foreign displOmats turned their atten tion to study of their possible sig nificance.
 Two facts stood out clearly in the minds of most obervers Sweden will be compelled to make definite her po- sition as a neutral and the exposure may be taken as indicating more eX- actly the intention of the allies to see that Germany shall cease receiving aid from all the northern European neutral countries.
 Publication of the facts, although disclosing nothing the governments exports administrative board has not known for some time. reveals to the public that this government is fully cognizant of aid Sweden has been rem dering the central powers and tends to cement opinion in support of the absolute embargo put into effect against Sweden along with the other neutrals. six weeks ago. It has already been declared definitely that no food stuffs or other supplies will be hermit ted to eo to the neutrals for at least six weeks to give this government an opportunity to establish precisely their trHde relations with Germany
 Sweden as well as the other neutrals has contended it has the right to eX port to Germany any commodities pro- duced at home. even though the goods are replaced by commodities imported from the United States. Some Amer ican officials say the war would be ended within six months if Swedish iron exports to Germany were stopped
 Another phase of the situation that is given careful attention here is the possible effect if Argentina breaks re- lations with Germany or declares war. Argentina this winter will have large quantities of wheat for export and as 2 neutral she might send much of it to the European neutrals. As belliger ent or with diplomatic relations brok- en. the Argentine government prob ably would take control of it's exports 10 prevent any foodstuffs from reach ing Germany.

Says Case Serious
The Social Demokraten says.

The Soclal Demokraten says:
 Tt is needless to draw special at tention to the seriousness of the case as if the accusations are true the Swedish minister Count Lowen. is hopelesly compromised and the coun- try's honor stained The matter is so much worse because obviously there Were willing helpers at Stockholm"
 The Conservative Dagblad sarcastic ally advises Argentina. if the charges are true. to follow the majority of the South American states in a courage ous alliance with the entente, and adds:
 The publication of the telegrams which some American agent must have stolen-the cipher being given to the American press before being handed to the Swedish legation at Washington is a method inconsistent with tradi- tional diplomatic courtesy. The words about exposing connections which ex- ist between Germany and Sweden are considered a gross and wilful insult to the Swedish government, anly slightly niitigated by the phrase, at least in what concerns the respective legations in ArFentine.'"

INSURANCE BILL TO PASS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-The sol- iers and sailors insurance bill prob ably will be passed in the house to- morrow under a special rule. Debate dragged today to such an extent that not an amendment was reached and tonight when Representative Madden of Illinois, republican, objected to meeting early tomorrow, the demo- crats planned to invoke special rule and close all debate. Only one ad- minstration amendment will be of fered before the final vote which will be to substitute a limit of s10,000 on optional insurance policies for the s5,000 limit now in the bill.

Food Administration T0 '
 Reduce Cost 0f By9ad

Food Administrator Hoover believes bread prices can be brought down fully 20 per cent when the new wheat crop begins to move freely. The food ad : ministration hopes Ito establish a standardized loaf of sixteen ounces to sell at six cents and another of four teen ounces to retail at five
 This would represent a considerable , reduction in prices now generally O.. taining.
 With wheat and flour prices stahil- ized there is no reason, food admin istration officials declare. why the size cannot be standardized and with flour prices cut the price of bread, they hope should fall.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 10-While the Pennsylvania railroad announced tonight that there was improvement in it's train service on the Trenton di- vision in New Jersey, schedules were still badly disarranged, due to the strike of telegraph operators for higher wages and better working conditions.

The company's statement says 70 of it's telegraph offices on the di- vision out of a total of 106 are in operation

 WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-In the ab- sence of official reports, it was as- stunned here that the raid on the Phila- delphia Tageblatt was a part of the governments program for the prei- vention of further dissemination through the mails of anti-war propa- ganda.

 Whether this action will take the form of physical raids and arrests or formal orders excluding the publica- tions from the mails has not been disclosed.
