This was learned on high authority here tonight, followinR the receipt of cables announcing the revelations made hy the State Department in WaehinR- ton.
.Memhers of the Swedish diplomatic corps, it is known, have continuously transmitted Cierman secret code mes- saKe.s through the Koreipn Office in the Kuise of Swedish official messafies.
Buenos .Mres was the center of the .system of transmitting messages from .\mcrica.
Full credit is Riven the American se¬ cret service for actuall.x- discovering the "-ystcm whereby German messa?:es were transmitted throu;rh Sweden and drciphering the telegrams made pub¬ lic today. It was b.-arned tonight that the Hrltish government became aware in the earb' days of the war of Swe¬ den's misuse of telegraphic facilities, but nothing definite was available through which such disclosures as tlio.se from Washington could be made.

RIGA FRONT QUIET
London, Sept. 8.—-General retains French troops struck a sudden over¬ whelming blow out of X'erdun today, capturing all of Chaume wood and driving the Crown Prince's troops still further  from  the fortress city.
The Berlin official statement tonight I admitted gains in this section, hut in- j sisted   the   fighting   was   still   progres¬ sing.     Paris    declared     simply:     "We captured the entire Chaume wood."
Field Marshal Haig's night report indicated a marked slackening of the German artillerying reported the pasl few days, ".\roiind Hargicourt the enemy's artillery was more active." he declared. "Elsewhere hostile artillery was less marfied. The infantry was not in action."
The Berlin official statement to-night declared a F'rench attack northwest of Bezon  vaux  failed.
"On the right bank of the Meuse", the French official statement said, "we attacked on a frontage of two kilomet¬ ers, (about a mile and a riuarter) in the
War reached out from the battlefiel ds of Europe and into the homes of America for the first time in the history of the world last night. The god of conflict, speeding upon the trans-Atlantic cables or through the air upon the waves of the wireless, dropped his messages of death into the hearts of four American mothers and stabbed them int^o the awful consciousness of their martrydo m to democracy.
Varied were the stories told by those mothers. One had given her baby, a lad of seventeen. Another had given her only son. A third, married to a German hus¬ band, joined with him in asking the curse of God upon the nation that would not spare even the saviors of the wounded and dying from the murder that strikes from the clouds. And out in the middle-west, the fourth of the women who had given of flesh and blood that the lust of tyranny might be satisfied sat through the night in sleepless vigil, hoping against truth that some mistake must have been made.
It had taken three days for the War Department to verify United Press dis¬ patches of a raid upon Harvard Base Hospital Number Five. In those three days, hundreds of homes awaited the blow that could fall upon only four. There had been no certainty of just which bases had been raided and just what men among the ambul¬ ance workers might have been the victims. Then, from London and Washington the verifications came, taking relief to the many and tragedy to the few.
Written below are the stories of tht first families to give of their loved ones to the strife of America against the scourge of the world. Martyrs in every sense were the four young men who died at Harvard Hospital on the French front. They were not waging war. Unprotected, unarmed, they were of the band of mercy that seeks to rob the battle-field of its worst terrors, the pain and anguish of the wounded and dying. A peaceful duty was their's, caring for their enemies almost as often as for their friends.
So much the greater is their sacrifice and so much the brighter the page upon which wiU be written the first tragedies of A merica during actual participation in the world war.

BOYS BADLY INJURED; ONE MAY LOSE HAND
Two boya were badly injured late yesterday afternoon In accidents that befell them while at play. Chester Schraeder, aged 10, whose residence is siven as 109 Poplar street, this city, WHS Injured internally when run down by an automobile truck near his home, John .'^iske. aged .'>, of Wier alley, Ply¬ mouth, will probably lo.se his left hand as the result of getting the member caught in some machinery. Both boys are at the Merc.v hospital In a serious condition.
Youn,:: Schraeder was injured before 6 o'clock as he was rolling a hoop in the street near his home. .\s he ran along lhe street he failed to observe the approach of an automobile truck driven by .lohn Hopko, Jr.. of 68 Blackman street. In an attempt to follow the bounding hoop the boy dashed into the truck which could not be  stopped  by  the driver.
One of the wheels of the car passed over the boy's stomach, it is claimed. He was unconscious when picked up. His mother was among the first to reach the boy's side. She accompan¬ ied him to the hospital. .Kt an early mornioj;;;   hour    to-day     the    hospital
authorities announced that    Schraeder would likely recover.
For a time it was believed that the boy, who had been run down was Frederick Schraeder. aged 10, of Solo¬ mon street. The slmiliarity in names, Chester Schraeder and Frederick Schraeder, and their equal aged lel to a   confusion   over  the   identity   of   the
Kansas City. .Mo., Sept. 8.— In a (juiet apartment in Kansas City's exclusive South Side residence district tonight. America's first war mother sat dry- eyed, vainly hoping that the news of the death of her son would prove un¬ true.
She is Mrs. .1. I. Fitzsimmons, a widow, whose son. Lieutenant William 1. Fitzsimmons, was killed when Ger¬ man airmen bombed an American hos¬ pital  in  France.
.K United Press reporter called on Mrs. Fitzsimmons tonight with copies of the dispatches from William P. Simms. telling the story of German frightfulness.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons bore the shock bravely. "1 can't believe that it is true." she said. "There are so many chances for mistakes and the War De¬ partment would surely have notified me if anything happened to my son." And then she told the story of how her boy, 28 years old, and a promising young surgeon, had listened the call of bleeding France and gone to the war zone 18 months ago. Last spring he returned home on a visit and spoke be¬ fore several civic meetings, urging the cause of PYance and Belgium. On .lune IT) he again left ff.r the front, arriving in Liverpool August 12. There he wrote his mother a letter, which arrived only last week. He was well, he said, and had made the voyage with¬ out even seeing a submarine. Soon he was going to join the Harvard unit on  the west  front.
"He said the war department would let us know in case he was wounded" the mother continued, "and 1 can't be¬ lieve that he ia dead. There must be some mistake."
Doubts   Death   Message. On   the  mantle   there  was  a   picture j of a tall young man in lieutenant uni- ¦ form,   to   which   the     mother     pointed I proudly.    "Why, my boy was just out' j of  school."   she  said.     "He   was  grad- j uated   from   the   l'niversity  of  Kansas [Medical school in 1912.    Later he went to  Xew York and  served  in  Roosevelt ! hospital there.

Boston, Sept. 8.—German ruthless- ness set the stage for one of .America's first war tragedies in a little home here to-night.
L'nited Press dispatches to-day brought the news that Oscar C. T. Tu- go of thia city was killed in the Ger¬ man raid on Harvard hospital unit No. 5  in  France.
Since the attack, Tugo's white-hair¬ ed mother has waited for her answer. It came to-night.
"A reporter''" she said when she opened the door. Mother intuition told her the rest. She fainted. "Oh, it can't be true." pleaded the dead man's sister. Then she bravely brushed away her tears and wenl to care for her mother.
Down town in a tiegraph office, S. C. Tugo. the dead boy's father, heard the news. Someone tapped him on the shoulder. He looked up at the other for a second. He didn't have to ! be told either. He swallowed hard and turned back to his clicking in¬ strument until he was relieved.

With tears streaming from his eyes, M. D. Wood, a bricklayer, left the newspaper office to go to the side of his wife, the mother of private Leslie . Woods, one of the four victims of German frightfulness in  France.
Leslie was the youngest of two sons. They had both been given to the cause. One, Glenn, 21, is now In the navy.
The elder Woods was cyilled to the newspaper office and shown the L'nited Press dispatch telling of his son's son's death.
"He wanted to go," said Woods when he had recovered from his first shock. "The little mother held back for a few days, but he was so anxious to follow

New Tork, Sept. 8.—.K German-born American here tonight cursed the land that gave him birth. This .American is Rudolph Rubino. His son, Rudolph, Jr.. is dead—a victim of German frightfulness in the air raid upon American hospitals in  FYance.
Rudolph was IS years old. When he left for France he could not bejjr to tell his mother good-bye Tonight the mother sat by the side of her German- born husband weeping and repeating over and over again: "He never could tell me good-bye."
Mrs. Rubino told a United Press re¬ porter of the affection between her and the boy who lies dead in France. For three days last May when he wa? at home he struggled with himself be¬ fore he could tell her he was "going on a long journey," That was as much as he could say. He ddn't tell his mother r.e was going to Europe—just hinted at it.
But the mother knew and underst'H>d and the boy went away with out sa - ine good-bye. I
The father and mother first leariitd that their son was included in the fl'st casualty list from France when a Un¬ fed Press reporter told them of the dispatch receved by that association. The mother broke down. The fatii^r turned away and said: "I am an Am- eiican. I left Germany when I whs young, 1 never had a spark of love f'.u the country that gave mr brth." Ashamed of Birth.
"Father, father.' uroKe in *'rs. Ru¬ bino. "I would never tell anyone I was born in Germany. I'd be ashamed of it. Had 1 been born in Germany I would never stop denouncing that country- even as I do now,"
.Mrs. liubnoi said she had received five letters from Rudolph since he had been in France. All of them, she said were full of cheer. He used to tell me in his letters how the hospitals wore full of poor wounded men, English, French, German, all nationalities. He said there was no distinction. Ger¬ mans were treated the same aa the others."
Mrs. Rubino is certain the bombard¬ ment of the hospital was deliberate. Rudolph wrote her how the hospitals were marked so as to be easily d'.s-' tinguished.
Young Rubino joined the regular army in February.    He had previously;

Senator Lodge answering them to¬ day, quoted figures showing both Eng¬ land and FTance impose much heavier taxes on the four articles in addition to tariff duties.
Senator Randsdell pointed out that the combined tax would represent a change nf $3.60 a year on each family in the country.
"That's not much." he added, "but it is serious enough in these days of high prices'."
Senator Curtis. Kansas, argued that singling out four articles of food was unfair. "Tax all food or none." he argued.
Chairman Simmons of the finance committee   put   off   the   vote   on   con-
