LOS ALEMANES NIEGAN QUE
HAYA SIDO DERROTADA La
CAMPANA SUBMARINE

AMSTERDAM, Mayo 29.-Una
respuesta seml-osicia1 aiemana ha
sido dada al discourse que la soma
ma pasada pronuncio ell Primer Mi
nistro ingles, Sir David Lloyd-Geor-
&c, en- ell cual aseverara que la am
pana submarine alemana eSJaoa va
siendo combatida con muy buen ext
to y que Inglaterra jamas podria
ser rendida por el hambre a conse-
cuencia de dicha campana submari-
ma. En- la respuesta teutona, Sc di-
&c que ell discourse de Lloyd-George
no es mas que una sarta de pala-
bras huecas," pues los hechos Sc han
| encargado de dcmostrar TODD 10 con-
trario de 10 que aquel asevera.
"Hasta ahora ningun hecho ha
demostrado 10 aseverado por ell Pri-
mer Ministro ingles, dice Ia citada
respuesta, Y nuestra armada no ha
hallado ninguna huella de los nuevos
metodos por los cuales, segun la OPT
MON del enemigo, habra de desapa-
recer el peligro submarine. En- CAM
bio, todos los tecnicos n~avales de los
paises enemigos, han reconocido Y es-
tan de acuerdo, en- que con los pre-
sentes medios con que cuentan los
aliados, estan imposibilitados para
acabar con csc peligro. Un Gambia
en- los metodos tecnicos no puede
r~ealizarse en- una quiHcena.' Espe-
aremos con calma a que Sc cumpla
la prediction de Lloyd-George, en- 10

Cuando la guerra con Mexico Sc
adopto I'm nuevo uniforme de cam
pana.
Tanto los soldados como los Off
ciales echaron a I'm lado las bandas
cruzadas Y solo usaban n faja en-
la cintura.
Las guerras han ejercido siempre
una considerable Influenza en- los
uniformes.
Los sacos CRISES y las gorras de
cuero con pompones, de tiempos de
1912, Y los cortos, usados en- la que
IRA cor Mexico, han influido hoy en-
los uniformes de las Guardias Nacio-
males, Y en- los de los cadetes de
West Point.
Sueedio los mismo que en- las vic
torias f~rancesas de Italia; eran re-
flejadas en- ell traje "Zouave", que

guerra civil de los Estados Unidos,

que hizo Juror en- aquella epoca que

a los usados durante la guerra con
Espana, solamente que en- aquella
epoca usaban cascos, como los que
Sc llevan en- Londres hoy, en- vez del
sombrero flojo de castor que lleva-
ron a Cuba.
No fue hasta despues de esta ulti-
ma guerra, que empezaron a adop-
tar Ell "khaki," y IN material color
de aceituna, que no solo es de un to-
no encubridor, sino que a una dis
tancia, es de dificil distinction.
La guerra, como es natural, trae
siempre cambios en- los uniformes;
depende de la clase de batalla y ma
~turaleza del pals donde tiene lugar
Ia campana.
ST podemos asegurar que Ell solda-
do americana de hoy, sera equiDa-
do con mayores ventaas para ell
servicio Y protection que los que fue-
ron a Cuba en- 1898.
Al presente, usan los de khaki SEN
cillos.
Los uniformes de ia marina de los

Swedish Minister Denies Plot Part;
Argentine Sees Sensations in Store

BUENOs AIRES. Sept. 9.-The
Swedish minister TO Argentina, Baron
Lowen, today denied that dispatches
in cipher had been sent to Berlin by
the German charge thru the Swedish
legation AT Bucnos Aires. He de-
clared: 1 have not sent nor caused
TO be sent by the legation under my
charge any telegram from the German
legation. The news Is a great and dis
agreeable surprise. | have cabled to
my government to clear up matters
I'm the United States they are very
eXcitable."
The official announcement Issued by
the state department at Washington
that communications from Count
Luxburg German charge at Buenos
Aires, had been sent to the Berlin for
eign office thru the Swedish legation
mere in cipher caused a nsation and
was the principal topic of discussion
thruout the city That the situation
Is regarded as serious was evidenced
by the fact that the populace, usually
gay on Sunday. were remarkably quiet
and sober-facCd. Dancing girls waved
Argentine flags and bedecked with
American and British flags were
greeted with silence at the society
matinee after being wildly applauded
all week.
The government offices have been
closed since Friday evening. but when
the officials return from the week
end tomorrow the revelations from
Washington will be the first matter
considered. The president has already

called or the foreign minister for ox-
plantations.
The Buenos Aires newspapers refer
to the exposure as an unusual ana
sensational diplomatic scandal. la
Nacion says:
This sensational revelation which
foreign office, must modify many
opinions regarding the situation. II
clearly shows the contempt with which
the two diplomats involved regards
the Argentine foreign office.
Diplomacy In this war has given
us many surprises, but none so grave
or that has occasioned consequences
so difficult to foresee In their far
reaching effects as this from the
United States, the involvement OF tho
fair name of our country imposed
upon because of Its excessive good
faith. in n complicated plot which
must arouse universal comment OF all
kinds, claims, fears and suspicious"
Every paper today said that the re q,
port was SO sensational and unusual
that It could not be believed except
for the fact that II had been made
public by the state department OF such
great country as the United states.
At the present time there are no
responsible officials at the German
legation. Count I.uXburg has taken
n vacation In the Andes foothills since
the arrival of the American fleet at
Guenos Aires, and has so far not re.
sponded to telegraphic request of
the Associated Press to make state
