London.-Foreign Secretary thinner.
mann's instructions TO the German
minister I'm Mexico. ~ published in
the United States, are admitted in
Berlin to have been correctly quoted.
according to dispatch to Reuters
from the German capital by way Of
Amsterdam. The dispatch quotes the
following telegram received In Am.
sterdam from Berlin on Friday and
which gas apparently sent by the
Wolff bureau, the semi-official Ger.
man news agency:
The American press contains re-
ports about the instructions from the
ministry OF foreign affairs to the Ger.
man minister in Mexico City, In the
event that Germany after tho procla-
nation OF unrestricted submarine war
fare failed to keep the United States
neutral.
These reports are based on the fol-
lowing facts:
AFTER the decision had been taken
to begin unrestricted submarine war
fare on February /. we had to reckon.
in view OF the previous attitude Of the
American government, with the posi-
bility OF conflict with the United
States.
"That this calculation was right is
proved by the fact that the American
government severed diplomatic rela-
lions with Germany soon after the
proclamation of barred zone, and
asked other Neutrals to follow her ex.
ample.
Anticipating these possibilities, It
was not only the right but also the
duty Of our government to take pre-
cautions in time-in the event OF a
military conflict with the United
States-in order to balance. II posi-
BILE. the adhesion to our foes Of new
enemy.
1.-THE German minister ut Mexico.
therefore. was instructed in the mid
die of January, that in the event Of
the United States declaring war he
should offer to the Mexican govern
ment an alliance and arrange further
details. -
How the American government re-
ceived information of the instructions
sent by q secret way to Mexico Is not
known. 1t appears, however. that the
treachery was committed on American
territory"
The German press has been ordered
not to publish q word regarding the
American Mexican revelations until
further notice, according to an Am
sterdam dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company. The dispatch says
that only . few circles are aware Of
the intrigue and that 1t IL considered
possible the result Of the affair viii

Washington.-Four American con.

Atlanta to Quito. Ecuador.
The American consuls detained In
Germany are Consul Henry c. E.

Harput, Turkey; Consul John @
Wood. transferred from Cemnitz to
Messina; Vice Consuls w. Bruce Wal.
lace, transferred from Madgeburg to
Constantinople. and Vice Consul G.
Innes Browns. transferred from Mann
helm to Constantinople.
Two notes have been received from
the German government ON the sub
ject. the first a week ago. charging
that the United States had detained
Mueller at Havana, and second Feb
%. asking for reply to the first and
also containing statement on charges
that American consuls, and theil
wives departing from Germany had
been subjected to indignities. 1t ad
ded that SO soon as Mueller had beer
allowed to proceed the American con
suls could go on.
That the German government ha.
been misinformed regarding Consu
Mueller and other German consuls
formerly stationed in the United
States. is certain. The departure O
none has been hindered by this gov
eminent. Mueller was forced to re
main in Havana because of temporar!
lack Of transportation and failure t,
receive passports from the Ecuado
rean government. He left Havana TO
his new post several days ago.

VOTE RIGHT TOMORROW

Tomorrow. Columbia. the seat of a
great university, must go on record
for or against public library. Those
opposing the library have brought
up many little things to cloud the
real issue.
But the fact is that Columbia needs
a library. The University library
does not fill the need. Taxpayers owe
a Library to their children. 1t is a
necessary part of the school system.
1t is university for the masses. 1t
cannot help but have a wholesome in
fiuence on the life of city. Few
Missouri cities as large as Columbia
do not have public libraries. And the
cost is so small. Many persons
spend more for tobacco in one month
than they will have to pay for the
library in a year.

Editor the Missourian: There is still
some confusion in the minds of some
taxpayers as to the meaning of the
mill tax for the maintenance of a free
public library. One man whose home
is worth about $4,000 figures that a
mill tax would cost him at least S..
The fact is that his home would be as
sessed at $4,000. This tax, then, would
value. In other words, it would be as
sessed at $4,000. Tis tax, then, would
be So instead of S5. The mill tax is
figured on the assessed valuation, not
on the actual value of the property.
Another erroneous idea prevails.
namely, that the free public library is
for the poor and INDECENT children,
while the fact is the library is design
ed for the whole population, men,
women and children. Judging from
the use of Libraries in other cities, a
majority of the citizens of Columbia
will use the library Men may hesi-
tate to vote for the library because
they do not realize the extent of the
service a library would render this
community. VOTER

A United Press news story pub
lished in the Missourian Sunday, in
its reference to Senator Stone as
zone of the 'willful twelve filibuster-
ers" in the Senate on the Armed Neu-
trality Bill, was unture. Senator
Stone was not one of the so-called
"willful twelve" and he did not fill
buster. With these exceptions, the
news story was apparently correct.
The United Press, in this instance,
stubbed its toe.

AT THE CROSSROADS

The United States stands at the
crossroads
With today's convening of Congress
three ways are opened. The most
probable in the face of American his
tory is that of resolution recogniz-
ing a state of war. A declaration
OF war may be made-but the United
States has never declared war upon
any nation. Least probable is the
continuation of present existing con-
ditions and an effort to conciliate
and arbitrate our differences with the
Germans.
The American people are today fac
ing a great crisis-a crises the solu-
tion of which will require the undi-
vided loyalty and energy of every
man, woman and child upon American
soil. This is an hour when unity
is a paramount virtue.
No matter what the action of Con.
gress may be, we, as Americans. must
pledge our every energy and our ey-
cry action to the furthering of its
plans. This is a time OF sacrifice
sacrifice that the nation may live, its
shores be undisturbed in peace and
its principles and ideals be respected
1t is not time for mad, unreason-
ing patriotism. 1t is not a time mere
ly for the waving of flags. 1t is a
time for the speeding up of the
wheels Of industry and the works of
the plow so that the nation may be
prepared
We must keep our balance. In
this lies success. We must think

VOTE THE SCHOOL LEVY

Only through confusion with the
library issue is it possible to- con-
ceive that the usual additional tax
levy for Columbia's schools could be
defeated at the polls tomorrow.
The measure is voted upon regu-
larly because the Accent levy per-
mitted by law is not sufficient for the
proper maintenance of public
school system such as Columbia is
proud to claim. The extra revenue
is necessary to continue the leader
ship in public school affairs of the
state, which Columbia enjoys also
along higher educational lines.
There is no political issue at ques-
ton.
There will be no increase in taxes.

CADETS VOLUNTEER FOR DRILL
N. U. Students Would Stay Overtime
to Perfect Movements.

The danger of war at the present
time together with the fact that fed
eral inspection this year is earlier
than usual has aroused a special in
terest among the members of the Uni
versity of Missouri Cadet Corps.
Last Friday afternoon after the
of an hours drill even more
strenuous than usual, the members OF
Company E voluntarily agreed to stay
an extra half hour in order to perfect
certain difficult movements. Captain
Ladensohn was glad to see this desire
on the part of his company to appear
well before the army inspectors, and
the extra duty" was entered upon
with will.
