A statement made lo the Associated
Tress S;it.irvlay through a reliable source
'"''The additional revelations made in the
fnited Slates yesterday afford further
proof that the practices brought to light
are something more than individual action
and are an organixed practice affecting
very lareely Swedish dlplgmacy In all
lit uiral ivunlries.
The removal of a singla subsidiary of-
ficial from the Swedish foreign office can
not eiear up the situation or remove
blame from the Swedish diplomatic ser-
vice at large. The steps so far taken by
Sweden boih in respect of their official
explanation and in the removal of Secre-
tary Kwerloef of the Swedish foreign of-
fice shows a failure to appreciate the
seriousness of th situation. I'p to th
present Sweden has onl made a rather
poor attempt to excuse the past and has
given no promise for the future.
"IVrsonally C.amt Wrangel is unob-le-tlonuhlc
to the Hritish jpnemuient and
it is well known his sympathies arc en-
tirely with the entente allied cause but
official relations between him and repre-
sentatives of the British government
could only be of the most strained char-
acter uniil the present difficulties be-
tween tlreat Hritain and Sweden have
been cleared up by some more satis-
factory action from the Swedish govern-
ment in the matter of the American rev-
elations." At the Swedish legation it was said
Saturday that Count Wrangel's departure
had nothing to do with the Washington
revelations. Tho mijiister with his wife
who is a Krench woman it was added
usually spends a few weeks in France
every year. They prtdahly will be away

Von Eckhardt
Denies Everything.
lAsscittd Prist Ktfioii.)
MEXICO CITY. Sept. 15. Heinrich von
Eckhardt. the German minister to Mex-
ico. Friday night made a statement de-
nying everything in connection with the
disclosures from Washington that he
had been employing a former Swedish
charge d'affaires" to convey information
to the Berlin foreign office. Von Kck-
hardt declared that he had never sent
any communication through Folke Cron-
holm and that he never wrote any com-
munication recommending Cronliolm for
a decoration for his services to Cer-
many. Von Kckhardt further declared
that he did not know Cronholm person-
ally only having met him at diplomatic
receptions or some such formal means.
Baron Eckhardt makes a formal denial of
everything in connection with the Wash
ington disclosures and in reply to an as-
sertion that Washington had full proof
of his complicity he declared that this
was merely an American intrigue for the
purpose of casting discredit on the rep-
resentatives of Germany.
From statements made Fridav night
by men in high government circles the
conclusion semed to have been reached
that it was not the Mexican government's
business to take action in the matter.
Among those expressing this view- was
Luis Cabrera former minister of finance.
and a leader in congress.
