London, March 3.-Foreign Secre-
tary Zimmerman's instructions to the
German minister to Mexico, as pub
lished in the United States, are admit
ted In Berlin to have been correctly
quoted, according to dispatch to Reu-
ter's from the German capital by way
of Amsterdam.
The dispatch quotes the following
telegram received in Amsterdam from
Berlin and which was apparently sent
by the Wolff bureau, the semi-ofticial
German news agency:
1.-THE American press contains re-
ports about instructions from the min.
istry of foreign affairs to the German
minister in Mexico City, in the event
that Germany, after the proclamation
of unrestricted submarine warfare,
failed to keep United States neutral.
hA
following facts: After the decision
had been taken to begin unrestricted
submarine warfare on Feb. we had
to reckon, in view Of the previous 1T.
titude OF the American government,
with the United States. That this
calculation was right Is proved by the
fact that the American government
severed diplomatic relations with Ger
many soon after the proclamation Of
a barred zone and asked other neu-
trails to follow her example.
Measure Of Precautien.
Anticipating these possibilities, 1t
was not only the right, but also the
duty Of our government to take pre-
cautions in time-in the event of
military conflict with us-in order to
balance, If possible, the adhesion to
our foes of new enemy.
"rhe German minister at 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 . secret way to Mexico is not
known. It appears. however, that the
treachsry-and 1t only must have
been trsachery-was committed on
German territory" 49, B,

King of Greece Breaks With Parents

Lugano, Aug. 19.-Italian newspaper correspondents in Athens report that King Alexan. der of Greece has broken com pletely with his parents and has not even been exchanging letters with them since they were de- ported by the allies.
 The young ruler is said to hate his pro-German father, the de- throned King Constantine, and also to have little love for his mother, the second youngest sister of the German emperor Everything German is repulSive to him and he believes that the German empire and Austria Hungary should be divided among the entente powers.
 In an interview which he granted to an Italian journalist recently in the presence of Prime Minister Venizelos the young monarch said:
 Greece has now definitely en- tered the war and will fight on the side of the allies until Ger many is destroyed. 1 am con vinced there will be no German empire when peace finally comes. The Germans must not be per mitted to remain a nation. The world will only be safe if they are subjugated and ruled by the peoples fighting against them.
 Sentimental reasons and the talk of the rights of nations should not prevent the destruc- tlon of the political existence of this hateful race. 1t is absolute ly necessary that the barbarians be compelled to pay for the dam age caused by them, and that can only be done if they are made to work for the allies at least a century. The overthrow of the Hohenzollerns is not suf- fcient, because Germany as a re public would still be danger to universal peace"
 According to the Milan Secolo. the youthful king intends to visit London shortly, and it is expect ed that his engagement to an English princess will. then be an nounced.
