Washington.-The whole Of the

mountains. including the state OF
Utah, was the inducement which Ger
many held out to Japan for an Of
tensive alliance with Mexico against
The United States through the instru-
mentality of the Zimmerman note,
IS the information which comes from
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 1t 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
