that attempt on the ground that
she had right to take precau-
tons in view of the possibilities of
war with America.
A semi-official source was quot
ed to this effect in dispatches re-
ceived from Berlin today.
Germany decided upon this step
after making her decision to wage
unrestricted submarine warfare.
It was impellcd to such a course
by the previous attitude of the
American government-and sub
sequent developments have justi-
fled the course. it was stated.
Calculations Correct"
The semi-official statement
from Berlin read:
after Germany's decision to
wage unrestricted submarine war
fare, in view of the previous atti-
tude OF the American government,
we were compelled to reckon on
the possibility of conflict with the
United States.
THE subsequent severance of
diplomatic relations by the Unit
ed States and the request by the
the United States that other neu-
trial nations join her in such action
proved that our calculation was
correct.
Because we were anticipating
such a possibility, 1t was not only
our right but our duty to take
precautions so as to balance, II
there was a possible adhesion OF
a new enemy to our enemies"
Only II War Threatened.
Accordingly" the statement
continues, "the German minister
to Mexico, in the middle of Janu-
airy, was instructed, in the event
of the United States declaring
war, to offer the Mexican govern
ment an alliance and to arrange
further details.
These instructions expressly
enjoined the German minister to
make no advance to Mexico unless
he knew certainly that America in
tended to declare war;"

PLAN TO
CONVOY
VESSELS

Omitted Press Leased WIre.l
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
March 3.-President Wilson
awaits only authority to issue
an order to arm American
merchant ships.
The senate will give him
full powers today to take this
step which draws the United
States closer to open HOSTILE
ties with Germany.
The navy department holds
guns in readiness at the New
York, Boston, Mare Island, Char
lesion, Philadelphia, Washington
and other government yards for
mounting on American vessels as
soon as the order is issued.
The president is prepared even
to convoy vessels when mere arm
ing proves an insufficient protec-
ton for American lives and prop
erty on the seas.
Not Planned Immediately.
The state department let it be
known officially today that. while
the subject Of conveys had been
discussed, there is no present in
tention of conveying vessels.
Conveying of ship carrying
contraband or munitions might be
interpreted as an act of war, the
department said. Convoy of
ship with a neutral cargo would
be proper, though.
ablishment of lane of war
ships would be the same as a con-
voy.
May Attack at Night.
The navy department as soon as
the bill is signed will issue orders
to the commandants of the navy
department instructing that guns
available there be put into immed-
late use.
Germany's latest announcement
indicates that even this armament
will not suffice to guard American
ships wholly.
Night attacks are becoming
common-and armament is no
guard against an unseen enemy.
Details of the enormous German
plot are still held in secret.
Such facts as are permitted to
leak show, however. that Japan
furnished munition-making ma
chinery some time ago for Mexico
and that Germans helped operate
the government plant.
Still another development is the
probable entrance of China in the
war if she gets what she wants
from the entente in the way of
concessions.

TOXIC, March 3.---That the let
ter of German Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman was designed wholly
to create distrust of Japan in the
United States and to stir up new
trouble between the United States
and Mexico, was the view express
ed by officials here today.
The belief was stated that Ger
many never expected the German
Japanese-M Mexican alliance, propos-
ed in the letter Zimmerman wrote
to the German minister at Mexico
City, to be success. The sole
aim of the move. officials declare,
was to SOW the seeds of diseord

NO NEWS TO
WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 8.
The White House received It's
first word of Germany's admission
of the authenticity of the thinner
man pilot letter" from the United
Press early today.
State department officials said
the fact that Germany admitted
her act did not alter the diploma
tic situation as they all the while
had been convinced of the note S
genuineness.
Authorities felt the admission
would have the immediate effect
of solidifying patriotic sentiment
in congress and the nation and
might satisfy the doubling.
Particularly, they believed it
might kill Senator Stones opposi-
tion to the armed neutrality meas
ure and any more peace at-any-
price talk on the bill.

All of the division captains and
the team members in the great Y. NJ.
G. A. drive for funds started work
in earnest yesterday, and though it
was impossible to complete an esti-
mate of the day, the success of the
campaign seems assured.
Reports from the county chairmen
throughout West Florida are most
gratifying, according to the officials
of the campaign, and every unit will
no doubt raise its allotment. Much
progress is being shown by the fell
lows, whose aid has been enlisted in
the campaign, and who pledge them
selves to raise SO for the fund 1t
is announced that the campaign will
continue until November 26th. ia-
stead of the 10th, because of the de-
lay in starting.

necessity of supporting the Y. NJ c.

to bring your attention to the most
urgent call for funds now being made
Tor the work OF the National War
Council, Y. M. c. A.
1t is hardly necessary to tell of the
vital Importance of this organization
which helps to make better men, more
efficient sailors and soldiers, helps to
shorten the war by its work among
the forces of the allied nations, a
work carried on at the camps and
naval stations in this country, on the
battlefields and in the prison camps
of Europe, following our boys wher-
ever they may go, to care for their
moral and physical comforts in this
supreme hour of their lives.
l venture to suggest that this is
our opportunity to pay part of the
debt we owe to those who have gone,
to those who are going, to fight for
us.
Very truly yours,
