SWEDEN AMAZED
At Spy EXPOSURE
Press Condemns Baron LoWen Tor
Acting As German Agent

Stockholm, Sept II (via London) -
An enormous sensation has been Great
ed here by the evelations from Amer
lea concerning the action OF the SWed-
ish legation in Buenos Aires in trans
hitting German messages relating to
the U-boat campaign and in particular
suggesting the atrocity of sinking Ar
gentine ships without leaving any trace
behind.
The effect on Swedish opinion and
on the elections now in progress will
be profound, and will probably be de-
cisive. This mornings papers, how
ever, received the news so late In the
night that comments are few as yet.
Branting, the powerful socialist lead
er (and member of the coalition cabi-
metz, expresses the view of the general
mass Of opinion in this country in the
Social Demokraten.
I'VE do not need" he writes, ITO
draw attention to the extreme gravity
of the charges which are officially
made against functionaries of the
Swedish foreign office. Our minister
is Baron Lowen. If he cannot clear
himself of the charge of having assist
ed the German representative in his
anna Die business of marking out ships
which it was suitable should disap-
pear, then he is irretrievably compro-
missed, and he has cast a stain upon
the reputation Of our country in it's
official dealings as an impartial neu-
trail"
Branting adds significantly that the
matter has a much worse side in that
the traffic in Buenos Aires shows that
even in Stockholm there must have
been a receiver who has acted as the
agent of belligerent power in hand
ing on this information
Even the conservative Dagblad has
nothing to say in eXtenuation.
"It is only possible" it says, Ito
characterize Count Luxburg's be-
havior in one way" Nevertheless,
the Dagblad declares that the purpose
of the publication is simply to induce
Argentina to follow the example Of
most of the South American repub-
lies and range herself on the side of
the Entente, and it INDUCES in grum-
bling at the unconventional method of
public revelation chosen by Washing
ton.
1t is a striking fact" the paper
says, that interrupted kilograms are
said to have been addressed to the
Swedish foreign office. Some Amer
lean agent seems then to have stolen
the cipher. apd the telgrams seem to
have been given to the American
press at the same time that they have
been given to tn Swedish legation in
Washinston-that is to say, before
Stockholm was communicated with.
If this is correct, the American gov
eminent had adopted toward sweden
a method that is not in accordance
with traditional diplomatic courtesy
The Dagblad adds that a phrase in
the Washington telegram, containing
the revelations, which states that Sec
rotary Lansing's aim in publication
was to expose connections which exist
between Germany and Sweden, ap-
pears to be a grave and Intentional
insult against our government

Consumers everywhere will be in
terested to know that the great
bakers of the United States, in CO.
operation with Mr.. Hoover, are.

Washington, working on a plan for
restoring the five-cent loaf Of bread
The proposal as tentatively outlined
provides for the adoption of a stand

and its sale for five cents instead of
eight nine and ten cents prices which
have prevailed.
People generally will welcome re-

But proportionately it will weigh as
much The bread users will get more

THIRTY STAMPS NOW DROPPING
 AT CHICKAC0FF
Golden Gate Mill Again Is Working; Slides Have Hindered Work
 This Season

Word has been received from Chichagoff that the Golden Gate mill, consisting of ten stamps, which has been closed down since Janu- ary 1st, on account of lack of water, is again in operation and that the mine is running to it's full capacity.
 The mill was shut down on ac- count of a mud slide in the bottom of the lake which blocked the Wa ter tunnel. This slide was mucked out through a four-inch pipe valve, the nanother slide occurred and blocked the pipe. The second slide has been mucked out through a drift driven around the valve and which is fitted with an iron gate to control the water from the bot tom of the lake. It is thought that by means of the drift around the valve it will be possible to keep the pipe free and the flow of water constant, which will allow the mill to operate constantly. This will in- sure the propery of the operation of the entire thirty stamps.
