Says Sweden Transmitted
No German Dispatches
SENSATION lessons
Matter Is One For Argentina and
Sweden to Straighten Out and
Not For the United States

Buenos Aires, Sept. 10.-The Swed.
ish minister to Argentina, Baron Low
en-, yesterday denied that dispatches
in cipher had been sent to Berlin by
the German charge through the
Swedish legation at Buenos Aires,
He declared
81 have not sent, nor caused to be
sent by the legation under my charge
any telegram from the German lega-
tion. The news is a great and dis
agreeable surprise"
81 have cabled to my government
ao clear up matters.
in the United States they are very
excitable'
The official announcement issued
by the state department at Washing
ton that communications from Count
Luzburg, German charge at Buenos
Aires, had been sent to the Berlin for
eign Office through the Swedish lega-
tion here in cipher. caused a sensa'
ton at Buenos Aires, and was the
principal topic Of discussion through
out the day. That the situation is
considered serious was evidenced by
the fact that the populace, usually
gay on Sunday, were remarkably
quiet and sober-faced Dancing girls,
waving Argentine flags and bedecked
with American and British flags,
were greeted with silence at the So
ciety matinee after being wildly ap'
plauded all the week.
The government Offices have been
closed since Friday evening but when
the officials return from the weekend
today, revelations from Washington
will be the first matter considered.
The president of the republic has al
ready called upon the foreign minis
ter for explanations.
The Buenos Aires newspapers re-
fer to the exposure as an unusual and
sensational diplomatic scandal.
Every paper yesterday said that the
report was so sensational that 1t
could not be believed except for the
fact that it had been made public by
the state department of such a great
country as the United States.
At the present time there are no
responsible officials at the German
legation. Count LuXburg has been
taking a vacation in the Andes foot
hills since the arrival of the Ameri-
can feet at Buenos Aires, and so far
has not responded to a telegraphic
request OF the Association Press to
make a statement.

How the Condor Is caunht.

Many birds cannot fly straight up.
They must rise at very gentle incline.
They must get onward motion before
their wings can get fun effect of the
air. 1t is said that the mode of taking
the condor is TO build pen, say, forty
Of fifty feet in diameter and six feet
high and put a carcass in the middle
Of it. The condor alights, but cannot
again rise at an angle which will take
him over the fence.
Many heavy bodied, short winged
ducks rise from the water at so small
an angle that they must use both feet
and wings for thirty or forty feet in
order to get onward motion enough to
give effectiveness to their wings by
meeting larger masses Of still air.

London, Sept 9,--That Germany

to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Copenhagen today.

Michaelis in the interview, had tried
to make final arrangements regarding
peace conditions and the quest Of Al

Copenhagen, Sept. 9.-The commit
fee of seven members Of the Reich
stag and seven members of the Bun
desrat, appointed to draw up an
answer to Pope Benedict's peace note,
will meet on Monday afternoon and
the reply will probably be drafted
then, says a Berlin dispatch.
Washington, Sept 9-What pur-
ports to be an outline Of Germany's
peace terms has been circulated
among diplomats here within the last
two weeks but has been regarded by
the Entente Embassies and most OF
the neutrals as a "feeler"
The origin of the so-called terms
was not disclosed, but they are said
to have been written by Foreign Sec
retary Won Kuhlmann before his visit
to Vienna, which since has been
pointed to as strengthening the prob
ability that they bear evidences OF au
thenticity.
Briefly the so-called terms were as
follows:
Restoration of Belgium and north
ern France, to be paid for out of the
sale Of Germanys colonies to Great
Britain.
Alsace and Lorraine to be independ
ent States. (High French officials
recently have stated anew the deter
mination Of France to be satisfied
with nothing less than the recovery
Of her lost proyinces)
Trieste to be a free port
Serbia and Rumania to be restored,
and Serbia to have a port on the
Adriatic
The Balkan question and the status
of Turkey to be subjects for negotia-
ton.
Disarmament and International po-
lice
Freedom Of the seas, with Great
Britain in control of the English
Channel until the projected tunnel is
built between Dover and Calais
This outline of terms. circulated
without definite stamp of official au-
thority, it will be noted, bears in
many respects a resemblance to the
general tenor Of the peace proposals
OF Pope Benedict
BY some diplomats such an outline
is regarded as presenting something
susceptible OF discussion. 1t is dis
cussed merely as a possibility, with
out having yet advanced fully into the
range of probability.
