Last of all it seems to show a
connection with General Carranza's
recent proposal to neutrals that ex-
ports of food and munitions to the
entente allies be cut off and an
intimation that he might stop the
supply of oil, so vital to the British
navy, which is exported from the
Tampico fields.
Such a proposal as Germany in

Mexico, borders on an act of war.

but all through Central America and

Deep Laid Conspiracy.
There is now no doubt whatever
that the proposed alliance with
Mexico was known to high Mexican
officials who are distinguished for
their anti-Americanlsm. Among
them are Rafael zubaran, Carranza's
minister to Germany, and Luis Ca
brera, Carranzas minister of fl

1t is apparent that the proposal
had taken definite form when zu-
baran returned to Mexico City from
Berlin recently. His return from
his foreign post was covered by the
fact that Carranza has called in

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. L.
The Associated Press is enabled to
reveal that Germany, in planning un-

counting its consequences, proposed
an alliance with Mexico and Japan
to make war on the United States
If this country should not remain
neutral

lies and join in the attack on the
United States.
Mexico for her reward was to re-
eeive general financial support from
Germany reconquer Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona-lost provinces
and share in the victorious peace
terms Germany contemplated,
Details we're left to German Min

al Berlin, January 49, 1917, was di-
rected to propose the alliance with
Mexico to General Carranza and sug-
gest that Mexico seek to bring

These instructions were trans

Count Won Bernstorff, former Ger.
man ambassador here, now on his

conduct obtained from his enemies
