dispatches to pass through America
when it knows only too well how Gu
rious Uncle Sam is regarding corre-
spondence of German diplomatists. 1t
continues:
Such unconventional language ougt
to be out of place in diplomatic mes
sages. More seriousness seems wanted
in these serious times. 1t is to be
hoped that this matter will remain the
personal affair of Count Luxburg and
will not lead to any further difficulty
with the Argentines."
The Vossische Zeitung thinks it neces-
sary to preface its advice to the Ger
man government and comes to the con-
clusion:
We are certain the German govern
ment decidedly disapproves Count Lux
burg's advice and his frank character
ization of the minister of the nation to
which he was accredited But this dis
approval must not merely be expressed
verbally. We must insist that the
minister who is capable of sending
such dispatches shall Immediately BE
recalled. We should not wait for ac-
ton by the Argentine government. but
ourselves act at once. One would best
permit Count Luxburg ito disappear
without leaving the slightest trace"

SWEDEN TELLS HOW SHE
HANDLED u. S. MESSAGES
Authorizes Supplementary State
ment Concerning Transmission of
Dispatches to Turkey.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, September 15.-Ths
semi Official news agency has been au-
thorized by the government to COM
municate the following in reference to
news dispatches from Washington con-
cerning the handling of American mes
sages to Turkey by the Swedish for
eign Office:
war between the United States and
Germany was proclaimed on April 6.
diplomatic relations between the United
States and Turkey were broken off on
the twentieth (twenty-firsto of the
same month. On April Is our legation
at Constantinople took charge of the
interests of the United States in Tur-
key. instructions having been sent from
the foreign office on the twenty-fourth
of the same month.
"As stated in the ministerial state
ment of the tenth instant, the minister
already on April IA received the thanks
Of the American Secretary of state for
the dispatch of kilograms. When the
American minister at Stockholm re-
quested that kilograms be dispatched
on behalf of the United States, the for
accede to the request without impos-
ing conditions.
AT first the teiegrams handed in for
dispatch were written in French. Later
on such kilograms were also filed in
English. For practical reasons the
l..
1917, 70 the United States legation ask :
ed that the kilograms should always be
in French.
'It has never been stated on the
Swedish side that the kilograms handed
in for dispatch by the American lega-
tion at stockholm were written in
American cipher. On the other hand
kilograms destined for the same de-
partment have been on many occasions
sent in American cipher from the
Swedish legation in Constantinople to
the foreign minister to be handed to
the American legation in Stockholm
during the period when Sweden was en-
trusted with the charge OF American
interests III Turkey.
1T appears from informant tion received
that wnen the cipher was handed to
the Swedish minister at Constanti-
nople, there was possibility Of control,
although, relying on the loyalty to the
Swedish legation III ConstanttnopIe of
tho American officials entrusted with
the coding, this control was not always
exercised.
Finally. as regards the dispatch of
letters in Turkey for American account.
the ministry received as early Il April
70, request from the American lega-
ton In Stockholm to forward dis
patches to Turkey. which request also
was acceded to. However, Mr.. Morris,
the American minister, now has stat ed
that these dispatches had no connection
with American interests. but with the
interests of foreign powers in Turkey
United states. The first dispatch Of let
ters concerning the interests of the
United States exclusively was made on
July 23 This is the explanation of the
discrepancy in communications already
published"

GERMAN PAPERS ASK
RECALL OF LUXBURG
Vorwaerts Would Sink Minister
Without Trace'-Blame His
Vivid Imagination.
(Cablegram to The Sunday Star and
New York Times. Copyright. 1870

RERLIN. September 15. via London
Some Berlin papers published the YER
batim text of the three LuXburg tele-
grams Yesterday evening and others
thfs morning. None of them makes the
slightest attempt to defend the min
lister to Argentina, nor is the German
government inclined to take his part or
assume responsibility for the contents
of his kilograms.
All was told not in defense of Lux
burg. but to explain his extraordinary
action, is that he is very high -spir-
tied man. whose vivid imagination
sometimes runs away with ms o.nel-
wise sound judgment. Feudal papers
as If they had agreed among them
selves remain absolutely silent
Some, like the Deutsche Tages lei
tung. refrain even from printing the
three dispa tches. While Count Revent-
low is too sly fox to deal with his
own kind as deserved, he Is probably
only waiting to see how the organs OF
the left will treat this case, and then
assail their arguments in his usual
hrutal fashion, thus creating con-
fusion of the issues that will make the
accuser appear as the accused NO
doubt the organs of the left will offer
the wary count wide scope for these
tactics tomorrow morning.
Would Sink Luxburg Without Trace.
The socialist organ Vorwaerts ex-
presses bounudless astonishment. first
because after the lesson of the Mex
leo dispatches there should be Ger
man diplomat SO fll-advised as to
gain brave the curiosity of the Amer
ican back chamber, and, secondly, be-
cause of the brutality Of the contents
Of the dispatches. Vorwaerts advised
the government that "Luxburg be sunk
without leaving any trace" Vorwaerts
adds:
pointing to fine Social manners of these
circles. And now we behold the spec
tacle of a member of these ten times
distilled social circles, a nobleman and
count, throwing mud at the foreign
Secretary of the nation to which he Is
credited. and calling him an ass. But
this ass is really the most harmless
part of the Luxburg dispatches. readily
suepestine to every intelligent man to
whom that designation really applies.
Much more serious is his advice to the
German government to make ships of
a neutral power disappear without
leaving any trace. The German gov
ernment's duty is to Tepudiate at once
and with the greatest distinction the
methods suggested by Count Luxburg,
and to declare that it has no intention
Of conducting an inhuman war against
enemies or neutrals by making ships
disappear without any trace The per-
son of Count Luxburg will. we hope,
disappear forever from public view
after this, but that does not do away
with the system which placed this abb
solutely impossible man in such a re-
sponsible position"
