Sweden's reply to the United States (respecting the irregular use of the Swedish Legation in Buenos Aires for the transmission of shipping intelligence through Sweden to Germany) is expectedto be delivered verbally. It will correspond- .with the_ statement .given out in Stockholm earlier this week. The reply apparently closes the case as far as the United States is concerned.. Sweden is not under any obligation, to give a full reply to the United. States. The UnitedStates did not give .the matter the status of a. diplomatic incident. ..,' , Sweden contends thait Herr Lowen (Swedish Ambassador in Buenos Aires) transmitted Count Luxburg's messages wthout knowing their contents, . which were in a German code. It points 'out that other neutrals, including the United States, have acted similarly, to the Central Powers. . ' ' .
