The new LuXburg revelations
serve to deepen the resentment
already felt in North and South
America against the German
diplomatic methods. They al
lord a view in greater detail Oh
the Argentine episode, which
differs only in particulars and
not in essentials from other ia
ternational episodes in wnich
Germany has figured beth be-
lore the war and since it began.
Always there is the malign
spider sitting III the webs cen
ter at Potsdam, spinning siIken
entangiements to reach out TO
every capital Of the world,
striving to enmesh friend and
Zoe alike, so that she may feed
upon them to her own aggran-

lie too false to be use III the

polished Count Won Bernstorff
played so long in Washington
Despising "these veneered In

Minister as a Theatrical person

masked the dark designs of Ber-
lin in fair words and fine
Promises. But all the time he
knows exactly the evil Germany
is plotting in South America
after the war, in order to make
herself paramount not only in
trade but in political control.
Sine hint of this German
policy is seen in the confidenti4i
message Luxburg sent to San
tiago, doubtless to his colleague,
the German minister to Chile

rested as a German spy suspect
and lodged in jail and he has
been detained as such all this
while. There was no positive
evidence against him but Of
ficers Of the Department Of
Justice thought it best to hold
him though refrained from send
ing him to an internment camp.
Yesterday, however, they con-
cluded to give him at least
partial liberty and told him they
would release him if he would
promise to remain in Nogales.
This he would not promise to do
for the reason, he said, that he
would be unable TO get work

after the war to carry out her
South American policy just as
well, if not more easily, in op-
position to an infatuted and
misguided Argentina, as with
Argentina on her side"
It is difficult to see how
Argentina, despite the in
veterate pro-Germanism Of her
President can maintain her
self-respect except by joining
the world-combination for rend-
ering forever powerless the
Prussian Thing, as President
Wilson calls it.
Chile, too, must be shaken in
her neutrality by the dis
closures.
The success of the Washing
ton Government in exhuming
these secret records of infanly

|derful factor in speeding the
day when all Latin America
will take an attitude of bene
vclent neutrality toward the Al

demonstrated. The one thing
that disncnorable German
