E ', He Insisted with all the emphasis that he vs'J" hae used on the stumn In his fight acalnst 'W ,nroso tnat politics will not havo any part ! Ci 'n 'he conduct of the department under his administration. Hut he followed this with trie announcement that while he does not contemplate "at this time" the removal of any of tho employes of the department, one Of the first things he will do when he takes the reins next week will bo to "look around and see whether the employes are efficient and honest and are giving good service." The Highway Department politically was one of the most powerful In tho Stato Gov ernment while the late Kdwaril M. Blgelow was commissioner. Blgelow openly used the hundreds of employes that the depart ment has In every county In the State and the Influence the department has, through co-operative road building, over the township and borough officials In the interests of the Penrose machine., O'Xell Is In the opposite political camp, and when ho was shifted from the Insurance Department to the Highway Department, the cry was raised that It was a political move made by the Vare-Brumbaugh faction aftalnst the Penrose machlno. "I can only point to the statement I Issued when my appointment was announced," was his reply to a blunt question as to whether he Intends to use tho State Highway De partment for political purposes against Penrose. "The road department will not bo op erated as a political machine and will not be dominated by politicians," he said In his statement. "i:mclency, honesty and service will bo the sole test of merit, and no employe will be removed who measures up to the above standard : but no employe will be retained who Is not efficient and who falls to render a fair return to tho State for his salary. It will not make any difference how great his political Influence Is or who bis backers are." The commissioner then explained his tmlldlng program. ueiore auopting any definite policy," he aid, "I will have to Inform myself as to the finances that nro nvnllablo and tho laws regulating the building of highways. What I hope to accomplish Is this: "Undertake as little new work as possi ble under the existing hlph cost of labor and materials, and distend spend tho money available for repairs where they will do the most good and for tho abolition of toll roads and toll bridges, "Present prices aro nlmost prohibitive, and I doubt now whether any extensive r.W Work Will bo Undertaken until after th X-V war" II ,s a'most Impossible to obtain ., - .uu. u. i.uiw ,h nunuuup, aiy Kcuciiii iiuncy win no to connect up the links on the principal hlchwai-s through. out the State, and If any lepal way can be found for It to be done with trw co-operation of the boroughs, to try to fix up the bad roads within tho boroughs all over the State. "As an example of a connecting link that is sadly In need of rebuilding thore Is the Turtle Creek hill, cast of Pittsburgh, on the Lincoln Highway. Two or three ac cidents occur In that stretch every week because of the deplorable condition of the road. Then, too, the 10,000 automoblllsts who travel over this road every week re member only this bad section of the road, and you could hardly oonvlnce them that any other section of the road Is good. "The sections of State highways that pass through the boroughs with few ex ceptions are In bad condition. By fixing them up the William Penn Highway, the Lincoln Highway, the National pike and the other main roads will be placed In rood condition from one end of the State to the other, Tho war has greatly Increased the traf fic on all of the main highways, and they constantly must be kept In good condition, for this If for no other reason.

Answering theso objections In reverse order the Speaker pointed out that It made no difference whether the committee pre pared the bill or not, an long ns It wns a good measure; that he did not see In what way It could Interfere with the present pen sion laws; that he wa not vitally Interested In whether It put tho Government "In a hole," as long as he bos In the American army could go to Kuropo nnd be comfort able In their minds about their families at home; that Increasing tho compensation to soldiers was of no account as long ns It assured the soldiers that their wives and children would not go to tho poorhouse.

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 10, Argentina's greatest anger today .was directed at Sweden rather than at Ger many. ' Comment on the American revelation of Germany's secret channel of communica tions from tho German charge at Buenos Aires through the Swedish legation to Stockholm and thence to Berlin was still withheld In all ofTlclal circles. It was plain, however, thnt officials regarded Sweden as having played the most offensive part In tho matter. La Enoca, recognized ns a Government organ, apparently olccd tho ofTlclal view today, when It declared (referring to Sweden) ; "It Is Imposslblo to believe such mon stroUB discourtesy, despite thn sourco of the Information. Hut If It Is proved cer tain, tho Government will denounce such conduct." SWEDISH CHAHOB DENIES Tho Swedish charge today confirmed his legation's denial thai anything wns handled for Luxbourg, Nevertheless, the accuracy fif WnMilnctnn's version of tho affair was ucceptcd virtually without question here. Tho only doubts expressed nt all re lated to possible variations In phraseology In tho crbl.ige, caused by tho various translations of the text of Luxburg's mes sages. It wns pointed out the missives originally had been prepared In German, translated Into English and then, for pub lication here, translated Into Spanish. It nppeared certain today that speedy demand would bo made for recall of the German chnrge. Count Luxburg. Buenos Aires docs not expect the German diplomat ever to return from his vacation, but to find n haven In Chill, ACTION CONSIDERED PERSONAL It wns not believed that a break be tween Argentina and Germany would en sue, because, unofficially, tho view was taken that the matter was a "personal" one, Every comment today Indicated the Swedish situation was considered much more serious than tho revelations of Ger man diplomacy. If tho case against the Swedish charge Is proved, Buenos Aires holds that tho Swedish Foreign office Is apparently Involved. In this case the dis courtesy to Argentina becomes not an act of one of Sweden's diplomatic officials, but of Sweden hersolf.

NOT TO BREAK WITH SWEDEN NOW WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. The United States Government has no Intention now of breaking relations with Swedon because of the "spurlos versenkt" secret communi cations forwarded for Germany by tho Buenos Aires Swedish Minister. While Sweden's explanation may alter tho American position, it was made offi cially clear today that the United States does not feel Itself to be the Injured party, and henco that It cannot well break off with Sweden. In letting It bo known that no break Is considered, the State Department added that to establish an Injury to the United States It would probably be necessary to show that Sweden had been forwarding information Invoking United States affairs. It stated that It was "possible" Sweden had been the medium whereby Germany learned of tho sailing nf the first American troop transports, which German U-boats later attacked. There Is no proof, how ever, that this was more than "possible." The State Department anticipates somo sort of explanation from Sweden, but In the meantlmo the department's utterances are guarded. Tho American Government. It Is known. has no absolute proof that the Stockholm Foreign Office was fully cognizant of the affair, and It 'attnehes no blame to the Swedish people. It was Indicated, however, that this Gov ernment believes there ought to be some sort of housccteanlng in Sweden, although It lins not officially suggested such a course. LONDON PERCEIVES MANY COMPLICATIONS LONDON, Sept. 10. Possibilities of all Scandinavia becoming Involved In the war were seen In London today, following America' revelations of the German-Sweden Intrigue In sending messages from Argentina through tho Stockholm Foreign Office. Tho disclosures are regarded as of high est Importance here, opening up possibili ties for a long chain ot International events. Severance of relations between tho Allies and Sweden Is regarded as certain in Eng land unless the Swedish Government makes proper explanation of Its participation in tho German Intrigue, and makes an Imme diate apology, at the same time dismissing the responsible officials and giving assur ance that there will he no repetition of such an Incident. The revelations may bring about a crisis In Sweden. A change In the Swedish Gov ernment Is forecast In the result of the general elections, which now are In progress, and which already have shown a heavy Increase in the Liberal and Social Demo cratic vote nnd a decrease In the Conserva tive vote. Tho American expose Is deemed certain to gle the Brantlng (Social Demo crat) party control. In view of this situation, the possibility Is faced of the present Governemnt taking the desperate course of siding openly with Germany, risking the domestic as well as International consequences. This would mean Germany's long antici pated seizure of Denmark, according to the general belief here, tl would mean cutting off of a large portion of Allied supplies to Russia, but on the other hand such a step by Germany would doubtless drive Norway Into the Allied camp, .With Norway numbered among the ene mies of Germany, the Allied fleet would havo a base on the Norwegian coast, enab ling the Allies to deal with the submarine campaign far more effectively than now Is possible. Some naval authorities are convinced that such a base would mean virtually ending U-boat activities.
