SWEDEN REALIZES SERIOUS SITUATION Stockholm. — Sweden realizes the seriousness of the situation created by the recent disclosures at Washington regarding the transmission of German dispatches and expects to take all steps possible to put matters right. Foreign Minister Lindman stated dur ing an informal talk. All transmission of German dispatches bad been stop ped, he said, and Germany had been asked for an explanation of the abuse of the privilege formerly extended. The foreign minister, during the en tire conversation, seemed imbued with the desire to see the situation cleared up fully and completely on a basis satisfactory to the United States and Sweden, and in a way to permit the continuance of the most friendly, cor dial relations with tile American (or ernment and people. "As Boon as I was informed of Sec retary Lansing’s statement,” he said, "I immediately gave orders to cease this practice. This would have been done earlier as a matter of course had my attention been called to the unde sirability of the practice.” The foreign minister has as yet been unable to explain the exact circum stances under which the practice of transmitting dispatches in code for Germany had come into being, as it was an inheritance from the adminis tration of his predecessor. He had or dered a rigid investigation within his department as to the origin of the sys tem, he said.
