Villa Making Plans
to Capture Carranza

Ell Paso, Tex, March 5-F'rom a
wounded Villa soldier who is here to-
day for medical treatment govern
ment agents claim to have learned OF
Villas plan to reduce his force Of SOC
picked men, abandon his campaign
against Chihuahua City and disap-
pear for three months on secret
mission in the interest Of his provis-
ional government, of which Miguel
Diaz. Lombardo is to be provisional
president.
Villas reason for this move was
said to be twofold. One was to re-
gain his health, which has broken by
exposure in the field, and by his cid
wound in the leg, and to make a des-
perate effort to capture Carranza
while the first chief was on his pres
ent trip from city to city in central

COPENHAGEN SEES
BASIS FOR PLOTS
AGAINST AMERICA

Copenhagen, March 5-Thc revela-
tons regarding Germany's intrigues
in Mexico which comes, as the Ma
tional Tidende says. like bomb ex-
plosion in the international political
situation, have recalled attention to
the attitude of certain section Of the
German press during the last few
weeks or even months. The wrath
full tone of all references to Japan
after the seizure Of Kiauckau has
long since given way to lees hostile
references and, from the moment
when the entry Of the United States
to the war became a possibility be-
cause of the submarine issue, the idea
of an attack by japan on America
was taken up by several German
newspapers.
In the days Immediately following
the announcement of unrestricted
given in the German press to a story
ostensibly received from Stockholm
that japan was preparing to break
away from her present alliances and
attack the United States through Mex
ico The report persisted even after
the, receipt Of declarations by the
japanese ambassador in Washington
that relations between America and
Japan were excellent and that Japan's
alliance with the Entente was on a
firm basis. The idea Of America be-
ing deferred from participation in
the war by the fear Of possible COM
plications with Japan and Mexico has
long been favorite theme of the Ger
man chauvinistic press but never was
considered serious probability by

CRAZY INTRIGUE
HOLLANDS VIEW
OF GERMAN PLOT

The Hague, March 5-The news OF
the German intrigue in Mexico caus-
ed a sensation here. It is regarded
as a stroke of great good fortune for
the cause of the Entente and as i'm
mensely strengthening the hands OF
President Wilson. The Amsterdam
Handelsblad speaks of Won Bern
storff's "crazy intrigue" and the Rot
terdam Maasbode says:
"This trick Of the black magic OF
secret diplomacy beats anything hith-
erto seen. Now that the cards are on
the table the German game, instead
Of being grandeise, appears mere gro
tesque. The diplomatic trump card
is beaten and it's player loses the
game"
The Amsterdam Nieuws Van Den
Dag judges the failure of the German
maneuver diplomatic defeat Of far
reaching consequences which will do
immense harm to Germany now and
especially her future relations with
America.
The Hague Nieuws Courant refer
ring to Germany's double game
asks if it made "this wildcat move
because it felt cornered now that 1t
was confronted by a new enemy" This
paper, in the light Of the present reve-
lations, incidentally coEgratulates
European neutrals on their wisdom in
holding aloof when President Wilson
invited them to support his action
against Germany in regard to the un-
restrained submarine campaign.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-03-05

German papers and circles of more
moderate opinions.
The publication here Of the text of
the Zimmerman note and the con-
firmation of its authenticity by Press
ident Wilson is treated as sensation
of the first magnitude by the Danish
press, exceeding anything Of the kind
that the war has SO far produced
The Friday afternoon papers spread
the dispatches from America across
their first pages under three and four
column headlines which emphasized
the view that the revelations would
dispel any doubt as to the position
OF congress on President Wilson's
proposal and destroy the opposition
of the pac.ficists.
DR., Retharn, the foreign political
editor of the National Tidende and
one of the best informed Danish au-
thorities in this field, discussed the
news in leader in which he declares
that, although the plan at first sight
seems almost Fantastic, there are
many grounds to believe it correct
even without the Zimmerman note to
remove all doubt. DR.. Betharn re-
called stories of American apprehen-
sions current for years before the
war, that Germany was trying to
establish herself in South America
especially in Brazil and calls atten-
ton to the surprising amount of dis
cussion, appearing Of late in the Ger
man press as to the effect war be-
tween Germany and America might
have on japanese policies and on the
specific possibility Of a japanese at
tack on tie United States through
Mexico. He also notes the disap-
pearance in recent months from the
German newspapers of the formerly
familiar terms of hatred and con-
tempt toward Japan.

JAPAN FAITHFUL
TO ALLIES, SAYS
CABINET OFFICER

Toxic, March 5-The decalartion Of
the Japar csc government through
Foreign Minister Count Motono that
Japan has received no proposition
from Mexico or Germany to join in a
possible war against the United States
has been supplemented in statement
made to the Associated Press on be-
half of the government by Kijuro
Shidehara, vice foreign minister.
eve were greatly surprised to hear
of the German proposal he said
1--WE cannot imagine what Germany
is thinking about to conceive that she
could possibly involve us in war with
the United States merely by asking
Mexico. This is too ridiculous for
words. Needless to say, Japan re-
mains faithful to her allies"
In response to a question regarding
Japan's attitude toward the anti
Japanese measures which were
brought forward in Idaho and Ore
gon, M. Shidehara said he had espec-
tally requested newspapers to refrain
from inflammatory comment advis-
ing that the matter be left for treat
ment through diplomatic channels.
It was noticeable that the agitation
did not approach that Of the time the
matter was brought up in California
in 1913 and it is doubtful whether
the masses of the people were even
cognizant Of the Oregon, and Idaho
bills.
"Of course we registered objections
to the bills on the ground that they
were discriminatory" he continued.
Japan is convinced Secretary Lam
sing has done everything possible to
prevent the passage Of the measures,
but regrets the apparent revival Of
an anti-alien measure in one state. We
realize the embarrassment Of the cen
trail government owing to the system

Scarcity Of Horses
May Stop Trotting

Detroit, July 27.-Directors Of the
Detroit Driving Club, which staged the
Grand Circuit races here, are pessi-
mistic over the outlook for a Grand
Circuit meeting here next year. The
elimination of the closing day pro-
gramme which was to have been raced
to-day indicates their attitude. The
reason officially given was a scarcity
Of horses for the closing days races.
Although the weather was ideal for
racing, good marks were made, the
fields entered were fairly large and the
attendance good, the elimination of
betting and the loss of revenue from
that rs understood to have had great
weight II discouraging the hackers Of
the meeting.
The Detroit meeting, which is usually
considered one of the most attractive
in the big circuit to trainers and own
ers of light harness horses, opened to
a record first day crowd with betless
programme upon orders of Police Com
missioner Couzens. All attempts TO
secure modification of the rule were
vain
