He quickly won supporters and his proposal to equalize the benefits of all classes was adopted almost unanimously. Representative Alexander of Missouri opposed the Black amendment on the ground that a family should benefit from the death -or disability of their support In accordance with his earning capacity.

LETTER WRITTEN IN MARCH This letter was written, March 8. 1S1G, and apparently had been in the possession of the American government for a long time. It was made public without comment shedding light upon the methods of another Swedish diplomatic representative in this hemisphere at a time when the United States and her allies are awaiting with interest Sweden's acknowledgment to Argentine of the conduct of her minister at Buenos Aires who transmitted the German "sink without leaving a trace" dispatches. Baron Akerhielm, Swedish charge here, said tonight In response to a query that Cronholm wag dismissed from the diplomatic service last January. Ho would not discuss the cause but there was intimation that it was in any way connected with Cronliolm's relations with the Germans.

AKERHIELM PRESENTS ALIBI Baron Akerhielm called at the state department during the day to inform Secretary Lansing that he had received from his government the statement already demanded a rupture of relations with Germany. Acting under orders of President Irlgoyen, however, squads of mounted police weer sent out to maintain order. They frequently charged crowds that endeavored to assemble, using their sabres freely. Many citizens were injured and a number of policemen also received hurts. The crowds raided news stands of editions of the German newsppaer La Union and also took copies from news boys on the streets and made bonfires of them.

Von Eckhardt." Officials here are watching with Interest the situation In Argentina, where reports indicate that the indignation of both the people and the government has been aroused to such a pitch that the government may have difficulty in keeping itself from being forced Into breaking relations with Germany, regardless of any explanation from Berlin, and of being pressed Into a sharp controversy with Stockholm. IT'S MEXICO'S MOVE No representations either to Sweden or Mexico, it Is said, will be made by the United States regarding the conduct of the Swedish representatives in Mexico City, but It is regarded as not improbable that the Mexican government which will be thrown Into France before the spring campaign of 1918 is likely to begin.
