According to Bcunos Aires dispatches dispatch-es on Sunday, Count von Luxburg had been granted asafe conduct by the British government to sail for Sweden and was expected to depart shortly on the steamer Valparaiso. Count von Luxburg was handed his passports by the Argentine government govern-ment last September after the disclosure disclo-sure of his objectionable activities in connection with tho submarine warfare war-fare as it affected Argentine shipping notably his message suggesting that Argentine steamers might be "sunk without trace." In October he was placed in a German detention camp on tho Island of Martin Garcia, but later was taken to the German hospital at Buenos Aires, where he has been under treatment because of his reported report-ed unbalanced mental condition. According to the accounts from Argentina, Ar-gentina, there has never been apparent a strong desire on the part of the count to leave South America. He has been openly accused in the Argentine capital of trying to avoid roturning to Berlin by causing his condition to be represented as more serious than it actually was. |
