The fact that Cronholm is not now
a Swedish diplomatic official will not
change the status of the ease. The Swed-
ish government will be held account.

ing his connection with the Swedish
legation.
The Mexican Ambassador BOnillas to.
day transmitted a detailed report of the
state department Is disclosures to Mex
leo City.
First results of Americas publicity
campaign to rid Sweden of her pro
German government and neutral coun-
tries of German intrigue were seen to-
day by the state department in the Gust
ing of Oscar Werlof, first secretary of
the Swedish foreign office.
The news carried to the department
in the United Press dispatches from
Stockholm caused undisguised pleasure
to officials. The Mexican letter is re
garded in the same category as the
Luxburg-Lowen case-nOt a diplomatic
iEcident-but instead a case of letting
the world know how German intrigue
works and how the Swedish government
has played in with Germany IS purposes.
The Won Eekhardt letter was commun-
icated to Ambassador Fletcher in Mex
leo City and to Minister Ira Nelson
Morris at Stockholm. The state depart
ment will be satisfied if the Mexican
message, along with the Luxburg affair
serves to overturn the ruling Swedish
officials, cleaning the German spying
out of the Americas, the state depart
ment clearly indicated today.

General Kaledin, the man of the Don
Cossacks-was quelled by the arrest
of Kaledin at Rostov, He was taken
into custody by the local council of the
workmen S and soldiers party.
Formal announcement was made here
that Kaledin' IS following was small.
kaledin was apparently seeking to
escape from the government forces.
General V~erkhovsny, c~Ommandant of
the Moscow district, had wired him
Thursday:
"The Cossaeks on the left front are
proceeding toward the Don, while the
enc~ menaces Petrograd. If this
means the Cossacks are declaring war
on Russia, / shall consider their APP
pearance in my district as a revolt and
will order their immediate destruction.
You know l posses sufficient fore
es to accomplish this. | am looking for
your reply TO dissipate my doubts.n
AS far back as Tuesday afternoon,
it became known here today, advance
forces of Kornilofl S revolving troops
and patrols of the government regi-
ments f%raternized out of Petrograd.
This was the beginning of the com.

After Klembovsky
General Alexieff, new commander in
chief, was at main Russian army head
quarters today. a special government
commission was with him, investigat-
ing all of Korniloll's activities prior
to his revolt.
General Ruzsky was named com
mander on the north front, succeeding
General K~lembovsky and General Go
miaoff succeeded Denikine on the south
western front. Gcnikine has been ar
rested and will be held to answer a
treason charge.
Klembovsky must explain several of
his actions during the short lived re-
bellion. The government has already
demanded of him why he permitted
Korniloff' s rebel detachments to pass
toward Petrograd. TO this he replied
economically, requesting that he be
relieved of his command.
Privately, KlemDovsky was quoted
as declaring he had asked Korniloff
to send twelve cavalry divisions to aid
in the Riga defense, and that headquar-
ters had refused, preferring to send
of these against Petrograd in the
revolt then forming.

LUXDURG GETS BUSY
PACKING HIS TRAPS
Police Guard Embassy to Keep
Angry Citizens From Doing
Them Bodily Harm
BY Charles P. Stewart.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondents
Buenos Aires, Sept. 14.-Protective
cordons of police served today as buff
fers between anti-German demonstra-
tors and the German embassy, where
Count Luxburg hurriedly made prepar-
ations to use the passport Argentine
handed him yesterday.
President. Irigoyen ordered rigorous
investigation of the rioting during the
past two nights and announced ring
leaders of the mob who burned Ger
man buildings and even threatened the
German embassy itself, would be
severely dealt with.
Luxburg made an inglorious return
here. The date of his departure has
not yet been set.

HIS LETTER SHOWS

co, to the German chancellor publish
ed today. This letter proved that Swed-
en- has been not a lone messenger for
Germany, but also directly in league
as spy for her, for Won Eckhardt OPEN
ly declared in his letter that Folke
Cronholm, Swedish charge at Mexico
City was messenger and would give
news ''from a hostile camp" Thus far
the American aim shows signs of bear
ing good fruit.
First, Argentine has summarily dis
missed the German minister there who
used the SWEDISH legation to pass in
%solent, plotting messages.
Second, Sweden is wrought up over
the revelations, her papers condemn
the government and with elections com
ing on there, the question of the al
lance with Germany is the big issue
with the anti-Germans apparently run
ming ahead.
Knows We Have the Goods
Third. Mexico knows the United
States f'has the goods" as to German
piot.lng on her soil and will probably
be chary of harboring Teuton spies
hereafter and may even do as Argen-
tine did-dismiss the German minister.
America is trying with her revela-
tions also to feed the flames of dissat-
isfaction among Germany's liberals;
to convince them of America s oft-re-
peated charges that the world is not
safe for democracy while the kaiser
and his strangling intrigue stretches
out through the world. Germany s lib
erals, who have opposed intrigue and
who hate such laundering as German
diplomacy has shown the past Sew
years, are taking heart at the eonvic-
tons of the German system.
The last doubt that Sweden had been
"duped" by Germany was swept aside
in the latest letter. This, under March
s, 1916, date, said Cronholm carried
messages personally for Won Eckhardt
-sfnot seldom quite late at night, -
and she is the only diplomat through
whom information from a hostile camp
can be obtained"
Sweden Knew of His Acts
Won Eekhardt asked the chancellor
to have CrOnholm decorated by the
kaiser, but suggested it would be wei
to hide the fast from all but Cronholm
and the Swedish government until af-
ter the war.
Cronholm, it developed today at the
Swedish legation, was abruptly dis
missed during January, 1917. Legation
officials here profesed not to know

Russia Orderly Saws Root

Chicago, Sept. l4.-''There is just

This statement was made today by

Secretary Is Fired.

Stockholm, Sept. 1M4.-0sear Werlof
first secretary of the foreign office,
was dismissed from the service today.
The dismissal follows too closely ON
the revelations of Sweden g acting as
messenger for the German government
not to suggest that it was directly due
to America announcement Of this in
~triguing.

why, though it is deemed possible that
the United States about that time may
have come into possession of the let
ter showing his guilt.
Cronholm had "not disguised his
sympathy for Germany Won Eek
hardt wrote, and it is possible that the
Swedish government found it neces-
sary, despite her sympathy with the
Teutons, to let him out.
The present development recalls the
zimmerman plot note-addressed to
the same Won Eckhardt, who was to
stir up Mexico in a Mexican-Japanese
alliance against the United States
when the break between United States
and Germany came.
There can be no doubt that Mexico
was a stamping ground for German
plotting, though the Mexican govern
ment did not necessarily know what
went on within its borders.
The Letter in Full
The department s translation of the
Won Eckhardt letter follows:
"Imperial Legation, Mexico, to His
Excelleney the Imperial Chancellor:
Only Chinese Order Held
"Herr Folks Cronholm, the Swedish
charge d'affaires, since his arrival
here has not disguised his sympathy
for Germany and has entered into close
relations with this legation. He in the
only diplomat through whom informa-
ton from a hostile camp can be OBJ
tanned. Moreover, he acts as interme-
diary for official diplomatic inter
course between this legation and your
excellency. In the course of this he is
obliged to go personally each time to
the telegraph office, not seldom quite
late at night, in order to hand in the
kilograms.
"Herr Cronholm formerly was at Pc
king and Toxic and was responsible
for the preliminary arrangements
which had to be made for the repre-
sentation of his country in each case.
Before he came out here he had been
in charge of the acknowledgement at
Hamburg. Herr Cronholm has not got
a Swedish, but only a Chinese order at
present.
German Decoration Asked
~ venture to submit to your excel
lency the a~dvisability of laying before
his majesty, the emperor, the name OF
Herr ('ronholm, with a view to the

bestowed upon him.
alt would perhaps be desirable, in
order not to excite the enemy sus-
pieion, to treat with secrecy the mat
ter of the issue of the patents until
the end of the war, should he decision
be favorable to my suggestion. This
would mean that the matter would be
communicated to no one but the re-
cipient and his government, and even
to them only under the seal of secrecy,
while the publication of the bestowal
of the decoration would be postponed
until the end of the war.

She lifted her doll with an artistic
