NEUTRALITY
VOL LATION
UNCOVERED
Swedish Legations al BeunOS
Aires Acted as Pawn In
Argentine Plot.
CBy UHitsd Prsns.l

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-The
subtle workings of plot in which
Sweden violated neutrality and
carried sinister messages between
Count Luxburg, Argentine German
charge of affairs, and Berlin were
revealed by the state department
today.
Luxburg insolently advised his
home office that it disregard
Argentine's demands in the U-boat
situation.
He counselled that Germany refuse
Argentine's pleas and If necessary call
in Spanish mediation.
Most daring Of all his recommenda-
tions was that Germany compel Argen-
tine ships to turn back or to sink them
without leaving any traces.
The Swedish legation at Buenos
Aires forwarded his messages to the
Stockholm foreign office as their own
official messages.
This was distinct violation of neu-
trality which is likely to result in a
break in relations between Sweden and
the United States. Argentine, now that
she sees Germany's schemes. is expect
ed to plunge into the war.
Luxburg sarcastically referred to the
acting Argentine minister of foreign
affairs as a notorious ass and anglo
phile."
The communications bore on Argen-
tines protest in the Monte Protegido.
Luxburg had access to news of the
secret session OF the Argentine senate
for on July he cabled in his code that
the acting minister had declared Argen-
tine would demand that Berlin promise
to sink no more Argentine ships
The penalty was to be a breach.
On July he again advised no con-
cessions by Germany desiring his gov
ernment to sink Argentine ships or
turn them back"
