RECALL EXPECTED


 MT. Nordvall was of the opinion that Baron Lowen would be recalled by the Swedish government and said he looked for an exploration and disavowal of any intention to commit an unneutral act
 What effect the disclosure will have on Argentina's relations with Germany could only be guessed at both by state de- partment officials and by Ambassador Naon. The ambassador already has transmitted, messages to his government and until instructions are received he will not comment on the incident nor speculate regarding the action that his government may take. That he was as founded as the revelations was evident.
 ARGENTINA ATTACKED
 It was suggested by some diplomats that Germany might have little difficulty in arranging her relations with Argentina so as to cause the South American coun- try to maintain her neutral attitude It was pointed out that having entered into an agreement with Argentina recently not to sink any more Argentine ships and to pay for damage already inflicted Ger many was in position to explain that she had not accepted the suggestion of her agent in Buenos Aires and that after all there could be no diplomatic conflict If he were removed.
 That Argentina at least will demand the removal of the offending German was as stunned both at the state department and by d -tolnats, and 1t was poitned out that Ger M probably would. grasp at such an opa Unity. to close an incident which left tf row might easily add one more na- ton to her list of enemies.
 Afgentina's evident desire in past months not to enter the war or even to break relations with Germany has caused the belief here that she will look with certain favor upon any practicable way out Of the new difficulty
 TELL-TALE EVIDENCE
 The following was issued at the state department
 "The Secretary of State today made the following statement:
 ,The department of state has se- cured certain telegrams from Count Iuxberg, German charged affaires to Buenos Aires to the foreign office at Berlin, which I regret tc say were dispatched from Buenos Aires by the Swedish legation as their own offi- cial messages. addressed to the stock holm foreign office.
 "The following are translations of the German text:

In conse- quence of the settlement of the Monte (Protegido) case, there has been a rgreat change in public feeling. Gov sernment will in future only clear Ar genuine ships as far as Las Palmas.
