"BONE DRY" ACT A LAW.
Last-Hour Effort To Postpone Effect
Likely To Fail.

Washington. - President Wilson
signed the Postoff1ce Appropriation
bill containing the "bone-dry" prohibi-
ton provision.
The bone dry" provision of the
postal bill is the most far-reaching pro-
hibition legislation ever enacted by the
Federal Government-in fact, it is the
first direct legislation by the Govern
ment prohibiting the liquor traffic.
At least IA States which have prohi-
bition laws, but do not prohibit the
importation Of certain quantities of
liquor for personal use, will be made
bone dry by the new law, which pro-
hibits the importation of liquor into
any State that prohibits ''its manufac-
ture and SALE" State legislation,
recently passed and about to become
effective within the next few weeks,
will increase the number of bone
dry" States to at least o.
The same bill prohibits delivery in
the mails of any publication or CORE

GERMANY owns
UP TO THE PLOT
Was Measure in the Event
of War.
ZIMM MER MANN EXPLAINS
Confirms All That u. S. Discovered.
Declares Argentine Paper Told
How America Tried To
Form Alliance.

Berlin (by wireless to Sayville).-
The following was given out by thu
Overseas News Agency, the official
German news bureau:
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman
was asked by a staff member of the
Overseas News Agency about the Eng
lish report that "a German plot had
been revealed to get Mexico to de-
clare war against the United States
and to secure Japan's aid against the
United States"
Secretary Zimmerman answered:
"You understand that it is impos-
sible for me to discuss the facts OF
this revealed plot just at this moment
and under these circumstances.
therefore may be allowed to limit my
answer to what is said in the English
reports, which certainly are not in
spired by sympathy with Germany.
The English report expressly states
that Germany expected and wished to
remain on terms of friendship with
the United States, but that we had pre-
pared measures Of defense in case the
United States declared war against
Germany. l fail to see how such a
plot is inspired by unfriendliness on
our part. It would mean nothing but
that we would use means universally
admitted in war, in case the United
States declared war.
.,%a ,f h. oil
legged plot is its conditions and form.
The whole plot falls fiat to the ground
in case the United States does not de-
clare war against us. And if we really,
as the report alleges, considered the
possibility of hostile acts of the United
States against US, then we really had
reasons to do So"

Washington Never Doubted.

Washington.-German Foreign Min.
lister Zimmermann's frank admission
that Germany did seek to ally Japan
and Mexico with her to war against
the United States caused no surprise
to American officials, although it may
be said they did not expect so full and
free an acknowledgment of the ex-
posure.
Some officials had thought there
might be an attempt to discreGit the
authenticity of the revelations by Of
fering an explanation of a different
character, American officials never
have had the least doubt of the au-
thority or the authenticity about the
evidence in their hands.
Minister Zimmermann's defense of
Germany's intrigue on the ground that
it only was intended to be carried out
in the event the United States did not
remain neutral is not taken to change
the situation in the slightest degree.

GERMAN PLOT INcENsEs JAPAN.
Intrigue Against U. S. Regarded As
"Proof Of Diseased Mentality"

Tokio.@The newspapers again ex-
press annoyance and indignation over
the inclusion of Japan in Germany's
attempted conspiracy against the
United States. Representative news
papers warn the United States and
Japan to remain on guard in order to
avoid becoming victims of what are
termed the. tricks of now desperate
Prussia. They call attention to the
fact that Japan and the United States
are earnestly striving for closer rela-
tionship, giving as evidence the efforts
of the Washington Government to
have anti-Japanese legislation in GER
tain States withdrawn, and the pro-
jected cooperation by Americans and
Japanese in China.
In it's comment on the plot to involr
Mexico and Japan in war with the
United States, the Japan Times refers
to the conspiracy as '"proof Of dis
eased mentality" but thinks it will
serve good purpose because it will clar
ify in American minds many doubts
and suspicious of Japan which, how
ever unfounded, it says, they were I'M
able altogether to free themselves
from, owing to continual poisoning.
Americans" says the Times, "now
see as clear as the sun that German
intrigue is at the bottom of all the
pernicious efforts in America to nurse
friction between the United States and
Japan in the last three years."
What has followed the exposure of
the conspiracy, adds the newspaper, in
dicates that Germany's ambition to
gain a footing on the American Cont
nent through Mexico will solidify the
cohesion Of the Western Hemisphere
against the dangers of German mill
tarism.

This nationwide sentiment was

in DR.. Bethmann-Hollweg's career
