| Count LuXburg the German minister
who advised that Argentine vessels be
"spuriOs versenkt'-sunk without a
trace being left-has been given his
passports and the Argentine minister in
Berlin has been instructed to ask the
Imperial government for a full expla-
nation regarding Mr.. Lansing'S disclOs-
ures and as to it's present policy of
sinking Argentine ships. Argentine of
fcials say that there will be diplo-
matte rupture if Germany does not dis
approve the text of Luxburg'S dis
patches and make concessions concern
| ing U-bOat warfare.
| In BuenOs Aires the people wildly
cheered the news of Luxburgs dismiss
sal and then broke out into anti Ger
man riOting, attempting to burn the
buildings of the German club and a
German newspaper and destroying sew
eraI blocks of German business houses.
SemiOfficially Germany has admitted
the truth of Lansing'S statements, but
denies there was violation of neutral
lty on SWeden's part, and says the dis
closures were made by the allies only
to produce a, new crisis in the relations
between Argentina and Germany and to
make trouble for Sweden.
Another Expose by Lansing.

milton of his services in forwarding
Won Eckhardt's reports to Berlin

cipher. The minister urged that the
decoration be conferred secretly in
order not to arouse the suspicious of .
The entente allies. CrOnhOlm was re-
placed as Swedish charge last Febru- S
ify but has remained in Mexico CITY.
