U. S. TO ACCEPT SWEDEN'S
REGRET FOR ENJOYS ACT
Washington and Britain Believed to Be
Satisfied With Statement Made
by Admiral Lindman.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Sweden's of
fetal reticence concerning the ex-
posures made by Secretary Lansing
of the part her diplomatic agents have
taken in transmitting German mes
sages is regarded here largely as a
cloak to cover what must necessarily
be an embarrassing internal reform.
Officials of the state department
made no effort to conceal the fact
that the United States is disposed to
accept the unofficial statements of re-
greet and indignation from Admiral
Lindman, minister of foreign affairs
at Stockholm, as a true indication Of
the Swedish peoples attitude. Cable
grams from London have quoted a
spokesman of the British government
as saying that the same admissions
made to it by the foreign minister
would be regarded there as satisfac-
tory.

UP TO u. S. BUSINESS MEN
TO DEFEAT THE GERMANS
Lord NorthcIiffe Makes Statement in
Address at Atlantic city-Ail
Available Ships Needed.

Atlantic City, n. j., Sept. 2O-Earn-
est patriotic business men of the Unit
ed States, assembled in the war con-
vention of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, heard Lord
Northcliffe, head of the British COM
mission to this country, declare that 1T
was up to the business of the world to
win the war with the central powers.
During the day they had received
the comforting assurance of A. q. Bed
ford. president of the Standard Oil
company, that there is not the slight
est danger of a deficiency in the sup
plies of oil or gasoline necessary to
the prosecution of the war. But they
had also heard B. B. Stevens, vice
chairman of the federal shipping
board, state that within six months the
demands of the American army abroad
would necesSitate the diversion OF
every available bottom, coastWise or
others, to the overseas service. This
was a reminder of the seriousness of
the task upon which the country has
embarked, and in a measure prepared
the business men for Lord Northcliffe's
speech.
Then followed the statement of
Harry A. Wheeler of Chicago, setting
forth the urgent necessity of govern
ment cooperation with the railroads in
the matter of raising capital for in
creased operating expenses, and the
prediction that war would bring fed
eral control of the railroads ten years
nearer.

words carried added weight to the as

"In a sense. too this is a trade war,
said Lord Northcliffe, ''for the Teu-
tonic scheme is now stripped bare of
all pretense. Germany over all is the
enemy's battle cry, and the words have
at least the merit of simplicity.

Diplomatic Relations.
SINK WITHOUT TRACE CAUSE
Secretary Lansing's Expose of German
Minister'S Note Responsible for
Republics Drastic Action
Against Berlin.

Buenos Aires, Sept 20.-The Argen-
tina senate by a vote of % to 1 on
Wednesday declared break of diplo-
matte relations with Germany.
The break between Argentina and
Germany has been a possibility ever
since April IA of this year, when it
was definitely established that the Ar
gentine sailing vessel Monte PrOtegidO
was torpedoed and sunk by German
submarine
An immediate demand for explana-
tons and reparation was made upon
the imperial German government by
Argentina and steps to assure repair
alton were taken four days later,
when all German ships in Argentine
harbors were seized by the govern
ment.
Sinking of Ship Causes Rioting.
! The indignation of the pOpulace
was intense when it was officially adj
mitted that a German U-bOat was
responsible for the sinking. RiOting
was rampant throughout BuenOs Aires
and the police safeguarded the Ger
man consulate. Teutonic club and Of
fees and factories tenanted by Ger
mans with the greatest difficulty.
Some months later another Argen-
tine ship, the TorO, was sent down
and the government made a clear-cut
demand on Berlin without, however,
receiving any satisfactory answer.
On August final, categorical note
was dispatched, with the result that
on the Goth of that month the German
foreign secretary returned an answer
which was said TO comply with all de-
mands. The imperial note reiterated
the statement that Germany desired to
continue friendly relations with Argen-
tina and with that in view would in
demnify the government for the sink
ings.
1t was further declared that the
| German naval forces had received in
structions to refrain from attacking
ships flying the flag of the South
| American nation.
Mobilization Threatened.
| 1t was believed at that time that
the fact Argentina had announced its
! lutcDllOU VI uIuSISlI lS III q NOlioNAAP'
army had a great deal to do with the
bowling of Berlin, as recent speeches
in the reichstag centered around the
statement that Germany in the future
should be more conciliatory in it's at
titude toward neutrals and avoid add
! ing to its already large list of enc
mics.
Lansing's Expose Brings Crisis.
! Then like a bombshell came Secre-
| tary Lansing's expose of the activities
of Count LuXburg and his famous
! note to the German government
transmitted through the Swedish dip
lomatic cable service, and. therefore,
allowed to pass uncensored, in which
he urged that Argentine cargo ships
! he sunk without leaving a trace.
