GERMAN MINISTER
PLOT
Says Action Was A Defensive One in
Case Of War

Berlin. wireless to Sayville)
March 3.-The following was given
out today by the Overseas news ag-
ency 1.-THE Official German news bu-
reau):
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman
was asked by a staff member Of the
Overseas News agency concerning
the English report that q German
plot had been revealed to get Mexico
to declare war against the United
States and to secure Japanese aid
against the United States"
Secretary Zimmerman answered.:
"'You understand that II is impos-
sible for me to discuss the facts Of
this revealed plot, just at this mo-
ment under these circumstances.
81 fail to see. however, how such
a plot is inspired by unfriendliness
on our part. 1t would Q nothing
but that we would uEe means uni
versalIy admitted in war. The whole
plot falls right to the grouni in the
case the United States does not de-
clare val against us. And II we real
ly, as the report alleged, considered
the possibility of hostile acts by the
United States against US. teen we
really had reason to do 81.
IAN Argentine newspaper a short
time ago really revealed a plot when
II told that the United States last
year suggested to the other American
republics common action against
Germany and her allies. This plot
apparently was not conditioned in the
least. With a few such demonstra-
tons and the actual at 'tude OF the
United States. then 1t obviously is
not frivolous on our part to consider
what defensive measures we should
take in case we were attacked by the
United States"

Stamped upon the simple. democra-

was 12:47 p. m. when Wilson kissed
the Bible, completing the oath which
he had taken twice within two days.
Standing with barred head, he &C.
copied the solemn, serious gift Of a
nation still at peace, but touched on
all sides by the flames Of war.
Behind the blare Of martial music.
behind the patriotic clamor Of the
throngs, behind the pomp and SPLEEN

why they left the old home. They
must have action, and the field Of pol
itics affords opportunity for a play OF
their nerve and talents. And the
game is much the same in every To-

largely democratic. But the big oil
