The state departments view of de.

that the mere appearance of a Ger

an American-armed vessel would en-
title the vessel to take all measures
OF protection on the presumption that
the submarines purpose was hostile
This was based on Germanys an.

The attitude of President Wilson
has been that no steps of a belliger.

that if state of war comes it must
be through Germany's commission of
acts in clear violation of international

Jeffries leaned forward and lowered
his tone. Master of the art of persuad-

Jeffries turned to his desk. "Ask

De Spain had a long talk with John.
But John was a poor adviser. He adj
vised no one on any subject. He whis-
tied, he hummed a tune. He extended
his arm, at times, suddenly, as if on
the brink of positive assertion. He
decided nothing, and asserted nothing.
But concerning the MOrgans and their
friends, he did abandon his habitual
reticence. "Rustlers, thieves, robbers,
coiners, outlaws!" he exclaimed ener-
getically.
rs this because they got your money
today, John" asked De Spain.
'Never mind my money. I've got

ten blocks long. For several hours
the city was entirely cut off from

Plan of Germans.

ran OF SefmanS.
Washington-The whole of the
United States lying west of the Rocky
mountains, including the state OF
Utah, was the inducement which Ger.
many held out to Japan for an of,
fensiVe alliance with Mexico against
the United States through the instru-
mentality of the Zimmerman note,
is the information which comes from
a prominent Democrat of the United
States senate. This part of the Zim.
hermann note was not given publicity
. and only the offer to Mexico was al,
lowed to become public. The pub,
lished versions of the Zimmerman
note bore evidence of being censored,
and the comments made upon it in
Germany were carefully guarded and
only referred to that part of the note
made public.
That the offer to Japan was sup
pressed by the state department is
probably due to the same motives
which led the department to ask that
the anti-alien land bills in the Ore
gon and Idaho legislatures be killed.
1t is recalled that in a speech in the
senate shortly before adjournment
Senator Phelan of California express,
ed his belief that if Germany was Of
fering the border states to Mexico it
was doubtless offering the Pacific
coast states to Japan.
