OUSTS GERMAN ENVOY BY Teuton Legation and Newspaper Build­ ings in Buenos Aires Are Stoned by Mobs. Buenos Aires, Sept. 14.--Immense1 crowds joined in an anti-German dem-( onstration here. The German legation and German newspaper buildings were stoned. There was serious rioting and mounted police charged the mobs in the fashionable Avenlda Florida. The Argentine government sent to the German legation passports to be delivered to Count Luxburg, the Ger­ man ministdl* In Buenos Aires. The whereabouts of Count Luxburg still is unknown t;o the Argentine government. The Argentine government also has demanded an explanation from Sweden regarding the transmission of messages to Germany. The note sent by Foreign Minister Pneyrredon to Count von Luxburg, In which the German minister was ten­ dered his passports, reads: "Mr. Minister: You having ceased to be persoqa grata to the \Argentine government, that government has de­ cided to deliver to you your passports, which I transmit herewith by order ot his excellency, the president of the nation.

If Berlin does not disavow the minister's course Argen­ tina will recall her minister from Ger­ many, but may permit the legation to remain. Argentina also has asked the Ger- man government for a full explanation of Its present policy of sinking Argen­ tine ships. , ENVOY ACTED AS SPY LANSING REVEALS WORK OF SWEDISH MINISTER *N MEXICO. Letter of Kaiser's Representative Ask­ ing Decoration for Scandinavian Aid Made Public. Washington, Sept. 15.--The material aid given Germany by Sweden was not confined to transmission of naval se­ crets by code from Argentina to Ber­ lin. A copy of an official letter from Herr von Eckhardt, German minister In Mexico, to his home office, given out by Secretary Lansing on Thursday, makes the startling revelation that Folke Cronholm, Swedish charge .d'affaires In Mexico City, was an active agent of the German government. So extensive were his services that he was recommended to the kaiser as being worthy of a special decora­ tion as reward for his services. It is shown that Folke Cronholm not only gave military and diplomatic In­ formation to Minister von Eckhardt at least up to March, 1916, but that he followed the example of his colleague in Buenos Aires by transmitting offi­ cial messages from the German em* bassy in the official Swedish code to the foreign office lit Stockholm and thence to Berlin. At the same time the secretary of state made public a report from Ira Nelson Morris, American minister at Stockholm, declaring that while the Swedish foreign office was transmitting German messages in German code for the German diplomats, it was requir­ ing Mr. Morris to file his messages to Constantinople via the Swedish foreign office in French. k ' • Japs Honor Commodore Perry.

The strike is characterized as the most extensive in the history of the Pacific coast. A company of United States marines was landed at the Union Iron works dock, where the men went on strike. It is reported another company has been ordered from Mare Island to the plant and that the government will take similar actien to. protect "ship­ building plants at other bay points. Full details of the strike and the de^' mands of the 25 unions involved for higher wages have been reported to Washington. The employers have placed the issue squarely up to the federal yffieials, closing down ' their plants and making no attempt to, op­ erate while they await government ac­ tion. / The strikers, some of them skilled mechanics, started quitting work at nine o'clock in the morning ,when the 1Q,000 iron workers in the Oakland find- San Francisco plants of the Union Iron; works laid down their tools.

The statement claims that the "employers are gettijng all the war profits while all the men ask.is a wage sufficient to maintain their families in decent coin- fort."
