GERMAN ATTEMPT
ROUSES ENGLAND
London News Says Only leu
tons Could Make Such a
Proposal.

LONDON, March 2-The time is
long since past wher any fresh
orientation OF the German policy is
calculated to astonish the British
public, bat the revelation of the plot
10 induce Mexico and Japan to at
tack the United States provided this
country with a first-class sensation
Thursday.
Washington dispatches gave the
late afternoon papers the first news
which was displayed under startling
headlines, such as Great Hun Plot
Unmasked.' Most Sensational Plot
OF the War" Amazing Revelations
Of German Duplicity."
The edition Of the papers was ear
ly exhausted The immediate idea
Of the man on the street was that
here at last was an undoubted casus
bell for the United States. the only
matter for curiosity appearing 10 be
how soon an actual declaration of
war might be expected. The news
was too late for editorial comment
in the afternoon papers. and the
government officials approached, de-
clined at the present juncture 10
make any statement for publication.
Perhaps next to the effect 10 the
news in America, the attitude of
japan excited the public mind most.
Nowhere, however, did the idea
prevail for a moment that Japan
could be detached from the entente
alliance. Altogether, while the
greatest confidence is felt that such
an intrigue could only recoil on its
authors, the British public is watch
ing with greatest interest further
details and developments.
The Daily News, in an editorial.
says:
THE German proposals were
doubtlessly marked by a certain SUI
perfcial astutenesS. but only Ger
many could believe that solicitation
suffice to detach Japan from the en-
tente. Credulity which could con-
template such an intrigue springs
from mental infirmity."
The News assumes that the pres
ent moment was chosen TO divulge
the plot in order to clear the presi-
dents path in congress, and il con-
siders that even the pro- Germans
will be swung into line with the ma
jority of Americans for, it adds,
they would be as reluctant as
Roosevelt himself TO find themselves
the subjects of Japan or Mexico"
