AT drill and in the campaign the

CWEDEN, itappears, has been the silent part

submarine deviIishness srealing through The Ger
man murder messages under the guise OF her own
official dispatches. The government has the texts
Of some of the dispatches forwarded from Buenos
Aires, which the sailing dates Of ships given,
with the suggestion that they be sunk leaving no

The Swedish charge d'affares at Washington
yesterday pointed in triumph TO the fact that the
messages intercepted by the americans were all in
the German code and states that this is evidence Of
the fact that the minister resident for Sweden in
the Argentine did not know the contents 81 the
dispatches. This sounds like an excuse made IN
Germany" II the Swedish minister did not know
what he was sending, what did he send il for7
And il he did not suspect the nature Of the des-
patches, why did he try to lie them of his own
official communications ,aa e.
Sweden appears to be caught as an accomplice
before the act in at least some OF the despicable
murders committed on the high seas, and there is
no particular reason for supposing that the Swede
diplomats in Washington have not been tipping
of American sailings in the same way the Swedes
in Buenos Aires did the Argentine sailings. This
will add to the wonder at America not declaring
war upon Austria Turkey and Bulgaria because il;
neutral Sweden is in on the murder pact, all the
more reason is there to believe that Germany,s,
allies are in it and are maintaining their legations
and embassies in America as headquarters for
Teuton spies. ,1EGS
