Charge:
 He is the only diplomat through whom information from hostile camp can be obtained"
 The latter inference is, of course, subject to a variety of interpretations. but it is rather difficult to overlook the inference contained in the former that sweden was not adverse to allow ink her diplomatic agents to receive honors as a reward for activities which were not only decidedly un- neutral, but also. in view of Sweden's neutral professions. distinctly dis honorable.
 The statement also appears to in- dicate that the Swedish government was at least partially cognizant of what was going on and, if not act . ually sanctioning it. at least followed the time hallowed custom of looking the other way when not wishing to see.
 The disclosure seems to confirm the prevalent belief of the culpability of the swedish government in every way. A perusal of the Von Eckhardt mes sage leads to no other inference than that the Swedish government was a participant in a widespread arrange ment for transmitting unneutral in- formation to the Berlin government under the secrecy of private cypher which the allied governments court eously held invioate.
 In the light of the Argentine revela tions, the Won Eckhardt messa ge makes it appear practically certain that the Swedish foreign policy. if not actively pro German, is decidedly warped in favor of the would be lords of the world. and is. therefore. in de- cided opposition to our interests and those of our allies.
 Of course. Sweden may not be culp- able in the matter at all, and it is we'll to grant her the benefit of the doubt but with such startling infer ences to the contrary presented. 1t is clear that it is worth while 10 keep a careful watch on what she does and put the screws on if further evidences of like nature develop.

NOME, ALASKA, OCT. 2, 1917.
SWEDENS NEUTRALITY

The question of whether Sweden's neutrality is not somewhat biased in favor of Germany is placed ir a clear CT light by the disclosures in the let ter written to the then Imperial Ger man Chancellor, Won Bcthmann--Ho Holl weg, by Mexican Minister Von Eek hardt relative to the awarding of a German decoration 10 Folke Cronholm. Swedish Charge d'affaires at Mexico City.
 This interesting document was pub lished by the State Department, in connection with the German-Swedish nti-neutrality expose, on September 18th and, besides showing that Argen- tine is not the only place where Swed- ish diplomats have, or at least appar- ently have, been implicated in decid- edly neutral activities in behalf of Germany, also lends strong support to the inference that Sweden was. if not fully, at least casually, aware that her agents were treading dangerously close to the border line of active un-neutral assistance 10 the German government.
 What amounts to practical proof that the Swedish government was not unaware of the nature of the telegrams transmitted through it's foreign repre- sentatives by representatives of Ger many is contained in the recommenda- ton made by Von Eckhardt that the German Crown Order of the Second Class be bestowed on Cronholm for espionage work in having acted as the medium for the transmission If mil, tary news to Germany.
 In this counec; on tha German Min lster to Mexico says:
 "In order not to excite the enemys suspicion it would perhaps be desr- able to treat with secrecy the matter of the issuance of the patents until the end of the war. This would mean" he continues, that the matter would be communicated to no one but the recipient and his government, and even to them under the seal of sec recy."
 In another para graph the German representative says in reference to the assistance furnished by the Swedish
