"Staats-Zeitung"
Assails Luxburg

The following editorial appears to-
day in the "New-Yorker Staats-Zei-
tung":
"The Luxburg case shows that the
class Of German 'diplomatists' who can
or will not learn anything has not yet
disappeared. The apprentices OF DR..
Zimmerman are still TO be found in
the German diplomatic service, much
as il has shrunk numerically. Dis
patches such as those Of Count Lux
burg, accredited TO Buenos Ayres, are
verify unbelievable. his advices so mon
strous, other remarks contained in the
dispatches so fsbulously void Of tact
that one must regard his action as in
comprehensive.
This man is seemingly out of his
wits He does not even seem 10 COM
prehend his responsibility toward his
cwn country, and he is lacking in moral
sense as we'll as in the judgment of the
average human being.
The German Herold" says EDITOR.
ally:
1--WE don't know whether il is really
true, as Count LuXburg said, that the
Argentine Minister OF Foreign Affair:
is a notorious ass. but we do know
that there are notorious asses in the
German diplomatic service. Perhaps
there are no more in Germany thar
among the diplomats Of other countries
but the diplomatic asses of Germany
have the fatal gift of continually pro
jecting themselves into publicity.
THE only advantage Germany ha,
in having men like Count Luxburg in
the diplomatic service is that they can
not be in the army. II the German

officials and diplomats entertain the
possibility that he may have trans
mitted LuNburg's dispatches without
Knowing their exact contents, taking

10 Argentina. They also entertain the
possibility that LuXDurg, with a
diplomacy of which the world has
learned more since German secrets
began TO leak out, may have told the
Swedish Legation one thing ana written
another in his dispatches.
Whatever becomes the accepted ex-
PLANTATION, officials and diplomats here
are unanimous in their belief that
Sweden must disavow any participation
or responsibility and take appropriate
steps to show her good faith. THIS
may be difficult because Of the internal
situation in Swodens where the upper
circles are admittedly pro-German; be
cause Of the sact that Sweden, mill
;arily weak Nation. lies at the mercy
Of Germany at her borders, and also
because Sweden may wish 10 adopt one
course. while Germany may wish her
90 take another.
Il is thoroughly understood that in
Stockholm the pro-German classes arc
Inc court, the professors IN the univer-
sites, the bankers, the officers OF the
army and the journalists. The most
intense Germsnophile is the queen,
who is a cousin Of the Kaiser, while
:hc king has little to say, but, IN spite
Of contrary opinion, at heart favors the
English. The government is. IN the
main. neutral, but the lavish bestowal
Of rewards in the shape Of orders and
decorations has won over certain o.
dcials to the German side.
Beginning of Propaganda
The existence of an active German
propaeanda in Sweden and Norway
dates back before the beginning of the
war, when the fear Of Russia was used
with the Swedes to such an extent that
the great mass OF the people were pro
German. In spite Of the fact that the
rropagandists redoubled their efforts
after war broke out and pointed to the
fact that England and France were ar
rayed with Swedens hereditary
enemy. the sentiment changed grad
ually until. when there was no further
fear Of Russia. the mass of the people
sided with the Allies.
Now Sweden is bound 10 maintain
her neutrality, for il is almost uni
versally believed THAT Sweden would be
another Holstein in case Germany wins.
The greater number Of the Swedi sh
people are counted Liberals and Social
lists. with every tradition against mon,
archy. as illustrated by Germany.
While their sympGthies are with the
Allies, however. they feel their help
lcssness. and should Germany be antag-
onized to the point Of armed hostility
Sweden would be at her mercy. Aside
from the Russian feet, there is not an
Allied warship i'm the B9ltic, and the
coasts Of Sweden could be quickly
ravaged

Ambassador 20 tbs United States, re
Gently has been much IN Stockholm. In
that connection they recsll that much
diplomatic activity bearing n German
flavor has emanated from the Swedish
capital, which talks easily with Berlin
on the long distance telephone. The
exact knowledge which the Swedish
government had in the affair will be
watched here particularly for what Ell
feet il shows on the people OF Sweden.
What may come of IL Will be deter
mined entirely by developments. In
the meantime the United States for ono
expects Sweden TO show her good faith
Britain Is Investigating
The British government has posses
sion Of copies of all messages sent by
Swedish officials in this country in the
Swedish diplomatic code to Stockholm
by British cable. The British govern
ment is also in possession OF the clpher
used bv the Swedish Legation in Bue-
nos Ayrcs in transmitting the lncrimi-
mating messages for the German charge
d'afTaires. the text Of which was made
public Yesterday by Secretary OF State
Lansing.
IL was learned here tonight that the
British government has begun the
translation Of all Swedish cipher mes
sages sent over British cables TO deter
mine whether the Stockholm govern.
ment has been guilty Of breaches OF
neutrality toward the United states
and the Entente Allies. .
Mr.. Ekengren. the Swedish Minister
here, has ben permitted TO Send cipher
cableglamS without censorship by the
state Department, and in the light OF
the Argentine revelations IT would
canso no surprise II it should transpire
that the Swedish government has been
Tho channel of communication between
Rerlin and German agents IN the
limited States. There is no public evil
dencc. however. that the State Depart
mont ever has had occasion to question
the good faith of Mr.. Ekengren.
Stricter Embargo to Result
Il is thought the State Department
will now be disposed 20 indorse the
strictest export regulations the Ex-
ports Board can devise. 1t is conceded
that there is small likelihood that a
Mound of foodstuffs will reach Scandi-
navian countries from the United
States for some months.
Both the Food Administration and
the Exports Council have evidence that
several of the European neutral coun-
tries have repeatedly given aid and
comfort TO Germany through materials
imported from the United States. The
Food Administration has made public
figures showing that Germany was
securing vast quantities of essential
fats from these countries. II is also
known that American cotton destined
for use in high explosives has found
its way into Germany through the
neutral countries. All that has been
needed to crystalline sentiment favor
ing a policy Of unbending strictncss
in the matter of exports to neutrals
has been the discovery of political or
military collision between these coun-
tries and Germany, and this came in
Secretary Lansing's disclosures yester-
day.
One result predicted is the early
communicating of ell neutral tonnage
in American waters. This would in
clude the hundred Dutch ships laden
with grains which are being detained
by the Exports Board in New York

Of intelligence as the diplomats have
done America need not have entered
the war, because it would have been
over long ago.
80 far as Germany is concerned, we
fancy that she will disavow Luxburg
and declare she has never thought of
sinking vessels without their leaving
any trace. Since in all cases that have
become known the German submarine
commanders have given the passengers
and the crew an opportunity of leaving
a vessel doomed TO destruction. the Ger

vncing the world that Lu1burg's in
