SWEDEN APOLOGY

turned on Germany More thanEa
dozen Argentine ships are now near
the submarine zone-and single
sinking may provoke the South Amer
lean nation to break relations.
Meantime while her people are man
ifesting strong anti-German sentiment
by riots, Argentina has asked an ex-
PLANTATION of Germany which must be
clear cut and satisfactory, to smooth
what now appears very warlike sit
uation.
Argentina apparently leans to the
view that Sweden was duped by the
tricky Luxburg in acting as messen-
ger with intriguing correspondence
Scandinavian diplomats here very
strongly support this view. The state
department continues silent.
Sweden's Excuse Erroneous.
Records at the state department
show that Minister to Sweden Ira Mel
son Morris has reported that the
Swedish government has not been re-
quested to transmit any messages be-
fore April 10. Mr.. Morris has in
formed the department that he did
not ask such permission until some
time in July. IL weeks after Sweden
had taken over American interests in
Turkey. He said that in making the
request he made it clear that such
letter and reply be forwarded only
with the knowledge and approval of
the Turkish government.

ence to the Swedish communication
which it declares justly points out
there was no violation of neutrality in
such conduct, especially as Sweden
performed similar service for the
United States in connection with the
transmission of kilograms by way of
Germany to Turkey.
Took Lansing's Word.
Washington, Sept 13.-Argeru'na s
action in summary Diminishing Count
Luxburg was taken without question
ing the word of Secretary Lansing.
Argentina handed LuXburg his pass
ports without even investigating to
determine the authenticity of the
state departments findings here
Diplomats see in Argentina's action
the equivalent to an ultimatum.

QUIT GEN. KORNILOFF
Cossacks With Him Come Over to
Observation-Disclosures Loyal.

Petrograd, Sept. 13.-(British Ad-
miralty, per Wireless Press)-Cossack
troops who formed part of the army
sent by General Korniloff against Pc
trograd, have sent delegations to the
provisional government expressing
loyalty to the revolution and declaring
they would arrest their officers who
had deceived them.
London, Sept. ia wireless dis
patch received here late today from
EetrOgrad declared that the Ukrain-
ian parliament (Rada) had formally
declared it's disapproval of General
Korniloffs counter-revolution. The
news was received with great satisfac-
ton here, inasmuch as Ukrainia has
been heretofore largely against the
provisional government. Moreover, it
is the home of the Don Cossacks, who
form the majority of General Korni-
lofts revolving forces.

that while the frost scare is over for the

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Sept. 13.-CORN-Wet weather
in Iowa and forecast Of unsettled condi-
tons in other important corn producing
states where dry weather was needed to
mature the crop made the corn market
swing upward today. Besides, there were
persistent reports of frost damage. Scanu-
ness of supplies of old corn tended also to
favor the buying service. Opening prices
which ranged from nc off to Sc up with
December at $1.17A to $11S, and May at
$114A @A, were followed by an advance
all around to well above yesterday finish.
Many of the longs who sold out their
corn yesterday were busy replacing it to-
day The close was strong &c to csc net
higher at S119N to S1.2O December, and
S1-17 to Sits, May.
OATS-Expected threshing delay as a
result of wet weather had Strengthening
effect on the oats market. 1t was said
too, that the rains would likely diminish
further the meager volume of receipts here:
WHEAT-No increase in the arrival of
wheat in Chicago took place. A spirited
demand for flour was reported with the
mills refusing to consider any calls for
shipment beyond thirty days.
A shortage bnt no famine in flour is in
prospect according to leading millers here.
Predictions were current that wheat re-
ceipts at all primary markets would soon
increase from day to day.
PROVISIONS-Proyisio rose with corn.
Lower quotations on hogs failed to act
as an offset

She turns her biplane upside down
and makes it fly on It's back. She
ties knots in her trail. She loops and

to race 1t. He will race Saturday and
up to this minute he doesn't know who
he will race against THE Masked
Marvel is the nearest he can come
to it. A racer who has driven against
Horey before and who was bested by
him has made changes in his car CIV

The queerest race imaginable is
that to be staged by Katherine Stin-

Horey will burn up the race course,
