Buenos Aires. was deilysred orally to
Secretary, Lansing today = Charge
Akerhielm submitted the Swedish ex-
planation-the same one given to the
press in Stockholm earlier this week.
This apparently closes the incident
so far as the United States is con-
cerned.
The department revealed today that
the note afrAJr is not diplomatic in
cident.s Inasmuch as Lansing merely
read the Luxburg data to Akerhielm
before It was published instead of
sending official notice to the Swedish
government. Sweden therefore Is not
obligated to make a full formal
answer.
As anticipated, Sweden contends
that Minister L0wen, at suenos Aires,
was acting without knowledge of
Count Lubburg's language when he
transmitted the German message to
Berlin through the Swedish foreign
office at Stockholm. She adds that
other neutrals-the United States in
ciRded &haev- acted in similar capaci-
ties for the central powers.
The State Department denies this
statement, and Ira Nelson Norris,
American minister. declares the
Swedish government was not, re-
quested to forward any kilograms be-
fore April 10, or some time later.

greatest secrecy is employed by the

to leave Argentina. ,.
The city is still in a foment of ev-

When asked II II was not true that
Daymude had been brought to the
hospital, Major Bull said yes, the
driver OF the ambulance told them we
could not accept q civilian case. We

At the Surgeon Generals office the
greatest regret was expressed that
this emergency case should have been
turned down because, while primarily
a military hospital, the officers at
Walter Reed have instructions never

There were no other developments
in the Swedish side OF the contro-

the part American Minister Morris
played in sending messages to Tur-
key through the aid of the Swedish

that the Swedish government always
required him to deliver his messages

But interest centers now entirely in
whether the Swedish government will
denounce the action of German dip
Iomatic representatives in abusing the
courtesy extended them, or whether
1t will not risk an issue with Ger
many, but will merely put a stop to
the practice of accepting any mes
sages on the word OF honor OF diplo-
mats, and will insist on knowing the
contents of all messages handled by
the Swedish government. There is
no disposition in the United States
Government to press the matter be-
yond that, though, of course. this

NEW CHAIRS INSTALLED
IN CARNEGIE LIBRARY

The new chairs for the Carnegie
library auditorium, recently ordered
have arrived and have been placed.
The purchase of these chairs has been
made possible through the generosity
of the City Council, who donated $500
toward their cost. The remaining $500
will be paid by the Library associa-
tiCn.
These chairs, of which there are 400,
are very attractive and comfortable,
and are in banks of four each, well
finished and durable, and the acquisi-
tion of them will make the auditorium
very useful to many organizations, the
drawback having always been that
when it was desired to use the hall, it
was necessary to borrow or rent chairs
for the purpose, and the hauling up
and down was very troublesome
