Swedish Minister In
 Argentina Recalled;
 Press Irate At Germany

Stockholm, Sept. 15-Hjalmar
 Granting, the socialist leader, writes
 in the Social Demokraten that Baron Loewen, the Swedish minister in Bue-
 nos Aire q will be granted a holiday
 because e sickness.
 This official" he adds, who acted
 as a telegraph agent to Stockholm
 from Buenos Aires without considering
 the contents of messages now is re-
 moved but this is insufficient
 The newspaper announces that
 meeting of protest against the secret
 diplomacy responsible for the scandal
 will be held on Sunday.
 The situation brought about by dis
 closures from Washington regarding cable dispatches sent by the German minister through the Swedish lega- ton has passed from discussion to &C., ton. French Minister Thiebautt call
 ed on the foreign office today fer formal explanation on behalf of his government. Other representatives of the Entente nations are expected to follow Minister Thiebautt's initia' tive The American. British and
 French ministers held meeting to- day at which the situation was thor oughly canvassed.
 News has been received here of the
 action of the Argentine government in giving Count von Luxburg his pass | ports, but the Argentine minister as vet has taken no formal step in con- nection with the affair, contenting | himself with an informal discussion | of the situation. Newspapers of pro- 1 nounced German leanings urged the government to adopt a vigorous atti- 1 tude toward the country whose prac- tices, they declared, were unpardona- ble.
 The German statement, attempting to evade the issue by raising the question concerning America and giv- | ing no explanation or expr ession of regret for it's own offense, is declared by the entire press to be utterly un- satisfactory, and a general demand is voiced for further statement from l'the German foreign office.
 Much curiosity is manifested here in the press and by the public as to the contents of 61 other cablegrams l which, as foreign dispatches point out. were sent by Count won Luxburg through the Swedish route, and the natural suspicion has been aroused that transcripts of other embarrass- | ing messages may be found in posses sion of the American government. Two pro-German evening news papers by coincidence referred to Greece in their surveys of the Lux l burg cablegram affair, intimating 1 that an attempt is made through the situation to reduce Sweden to con- dition of dependence on the Entente l Allies wishes. Nya Dagligt Allehanda
 sees in the distinction drawn between l the Swedish government and the peo- f@ 14Ir + rycr. | Hjalmar Granting, the socialist
 leader, as a sort of Swedish venize1os, | and sounds warning for Sweden, cit-
 ing tn fates of Serbia and Rumania. The same newspapers complains that | the affair is exaggerated and misrep-
 resented in America to Sweden's dis favor, calling attention to dispatches 1 about the alleged transmission OF news regarding Gen. Pershing's ex- petition and an alleged breach be- | tween Argentina and Sweden as ex- l ampIes of unfounded reporting, and i sharply attacks Lord Northcliffe. In I the concluding paragraph the paper l says it is aggrieyed that Germany in l her communication found no word Of regret for the difficult situation in
 which Sweden was placed by the ac' ton of the German official.
 1 The SSLOCknOlIl9 DdSDldu, COultIISAS- ing on the Swedish Argentine revela- tions, says:
 America acted as a detective and
 set scene for the play and then lreally ceased to be concerned, as, fapart from her role as detective. America has no right to interfere in 1 the affair. It is purely a question between Argentina and Germany and Sweden
 Regarding the charge that the Swedish foreign office broke it's
 promise, given in 1915, to cease for warding telegrams, the Dagblad says that M. Wallenberg, the former Swe- dish foreign minister, resolutely as- serts the promise only concerned |telegrams between the United States and Sweden. Thus, the newspaper, largues, American and English insin- nations that information was sent re- garding Gen Pershing's transports are without foundation.
 The Dagens Nyheter says Admiral Lindman, the present minister of for l eign affairs, cannot blame Baron Loe- wen, the Swedish minister to Argen- 1 tina. for having followed methods re- garding which the foreign minister must accept responsibility. and that the sacrifice of Secretary Ewerloaf of the foreign office constitutes acknowl- edgment of the evils of the Swedish foreign system.
