PHRASE TO BE REMEMBERED
SUNK WITHOUT TRACK LEFT.
LIKE THE “SCRAP OF PAPER.”
(Received this day at 1.20 a.m v ) LONDON, Sept fO. The newspapers express the opinion that the words “Spurlos Versenkt” ... meaning “sunk without trace left” will he remembered as long as Count Hollweg’s “Scrap of Paper”. _ Count Luxburg’a policy explains thoMfc firing on boats crews like the Belgian Prince and the total disappearance of many neutral vessels. Sweden will doubtless deny complicity but the dismissal of Swedish representatives abroad will not be satisfactory to Washington, which has evidence that her envoys were acting with connivance under orders from the Stockholm authorities. It would be an extreme punishment to throw the whole of the people into the war, because of the crimes of their rulers, but the Allies have a potent instrument in the blockade.
