More Notorious
 Luxburg Codes
MADE PUBLIC BY SECRETARY
 LANSING LAST NIGHT
TEXT OF TELEGRAMS
Reveal That Luxburg Appealed vainIy for a Squadron of Submarines With Which to Awe Some Latin Ameri- can 6 and to Platter Others With Salutes.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Two more ot the notorious Count Won Luxburg's s messages to the German foreign office from Buenos Aires were made public tonight by Secretary Lansing. They provide official confirmation of Ger mans plan to control southern Brazil, shedding light upon Teutonic intrigue In South America generally, and re- veal that LuxbErg appealed vainly for a eQuadron of submarines with which to awe some La n-Americans and to f1atter others with salutes.
 The despatches, like others that have gone before, were given out by Sec retary Lansing without discussion of their contents. The only comment was in this statement attached to the copies: stance of certain telegrams addressed by Count LuXburg to the German for e1gn office has been published, the stec- rotary of state makes public the actual text of the telegrams."
 The Messages.
 The messages follow:
 "No. 63. July ', 1917. Our attitude towards Brazil has created the impress sion here that our easy going, good na- ture can be counted on. This is dan gerous in South America, where the reople under thin venire are Indiana. A submarine squadron with full pow CTS to me might probably still save the
 
 whether after a rupture of relations legation is to start for home or to re- move to Paraguay or possibly Chile. The naval attache will doubtless go to Santiago de Chile.
 "LUXBURG"
 'No S9. Aug. 4. 1917. I am con- vinced that we shall be able to carry through our principal political acts in South America, the maintenance of open market in Argentine and the re- organization of South Brazil equally we'll whether with or against Argen- tina. Please cultivate friendship with Chile. The announcement of a visit of submarine squadron to salute the president would even now exercise de- cisive influence on the situation in South America. Prospect excellent for wheat harvest in December.
 After the state department made public the "sink without a trace'' mes sages, which caused Argentina to hand Won Luxburg lis passports, the Ar genuine government sent to Washing ten a number of the former German ministers despatcl1es for decoding. Whether the two now published were among them, or were obtained by the United States at the same time it came into possession of other tele- grams forwarded to Berlin through the Swedish legation at Buenos Aires.
