VEDEN NOT TO E WARRED UPON BY THE ALLIES elite Hopes People Will Force Change in Gov ernment ndon, Sept. 11. —The following finent from an authoritative ce was made to The Associated s with reference to the revela s concerning Sweden here is no need for any action on part of the allies regarding the j lish exposures, nor is any action. or otherwise, contemplated. The , i narrated speak for themselves, i his is not a case of any quarrel i te part of the allies with the Swed- 1 >eople, but of individual action by "idual officials, which, it is con- i tly believed, will be strongly re- , ;d by the Swedish people. There l>e no doubt that Sweden will tako earliest opportunity to explain ] position and this, it is hoped, will ■ the air and even lead to a better i rstanding. Hope For ChnnKe is well known that there is a 1 militarist group in Sweden j h might possibly approve of such vior as has now come to light, t is confidently expected that the of the Swedish people will share lew >f the world at large regard- j the barbarous intrigues of Ger- Telegrams from Buenos Aires that the disclosures have caused t excitement and. in the view of 1 eading politicians, serious action j le Argentine government will be necessary." Swedish circles in London the I is expressed that the revela come Just in time to insure a big ry for the liberal socialist bloc' le Swedish elections, which are ( under way and which will con- ' until September 21. This should Rowed by the fall of the present (rvative government as soon as iiment reassembles in January ! its replacement by a cabinet j by Hjalmar Branting, the So !t leader.

Argentina Not Yet Ready to Act on Treachery By Associated Press I Buenos Aires. Sept. 11.—News dis j patches to the effect that the pass ports may be handed to the German j and Swiss diplomatic representatives to Argentine are declared by the for- i elgn minister to be premature, as tho ' government Is unable* even to con- aider such a procedure until it re- ' • reives official details respecting the ! j Washington revelations. | An Argentine patriotic society has; issued a statement urging that Count Luxburg must not be given his pass- ! J ports, but tried for a criminal of- j fense of inciting the assassination of ! | Argentine citizens.

FLOUR AND SUGAR WILL TAKE DROP IN PRICE SOON Government Promises Saving of Three Dollars a Barrel on Former Commodity Washington, Sept. 11. Definite j price decreases to the ultimate con j suiner wore officially announced by i the food administration to-day. These will result from the co ! operative regulation of grain, flour and sugar, which has now reached a ; st.-.ge that makes the regulation of wheat effective to-day, with flour I regulation to follow shortly, and the j control of sugar to become effective j October 1. A saving of $3 a barrel on flour I over the average price of the last four months Is promised the con sumer as soon as the flour from wheat sold under the new control i plan reaches market. A slight drop in sugar has already occurred. By October 1. when con | trol becomes complete, a further re | duction of $1.60 below the mtd . August price is expected. The saving to the American people ! in the lowered cost of flour is esti mated at $30,00,000 a month, these figures being based on a normal monthly flour consumption in this i country of 10.000,000 barrels. The saving to follow in sugar is placed at $9,000,000 a month, representing a 20 per cent, decrease below mid- August figures, or 2 cents a pound under the price then prevailing. Steps ahead in the food situation ! comprise a consideration of the ques i tion of the standard loaf of bread for war time. This was taken up at the meeting of the war emergency coun cil of the master bakers of the coun tr> ;n Washington, which began its sessions to-day.

BIG EEL STOPS PENNSY TRAINS Gets Into Pipes at Lewistown Pumping Station; Call For Plumbers* One largo eel came nearly tieing up traffic completely on the Middle division of the Pennsylvania rail road on Sunday. It clogged up the automatic pump at Lewistown Nai rows watering station. Calls were made for plumbers in this city, Mtf flin, Lewistown and Huntingdon. In the meantime trains using the water trough at this point were obliged to stop from 20 to 30 min utes and water tanks in order to be able to keep up steam. This upset schedules. Fast freight trains wero also held up and it was slow moving for time, to keep the main line open, largest Ever Caught H. O. Elder of Mifflin, was the life saver. He worked for an hour be fore he found the trouble and started the pumps. The eel, according to re ports,. was the largest ever taken from the Juniata river. It measured thirty-eight inches in length and weighed eight pounds. No person has been able to explain how the eel got into the~Tpipes. There is a fine mesh wire screens covering the intake pipes and unless there la a break in the screen nothing larger than a needle could get through. This water trough is one of the most important on the Middle divi sion. All fast trains take water "on the fly" running about forty-five miles an hour, and when they are obliged to stop for water at a tank it means a costly delay to all trafllc.
