ZIMMERMAN ADMITS
PLOT AGAINST U. S.

Berlin, via Sayville wireless.--For.

Germany's action in seeking to ally
Mexico and Japan against the United
States.
Such a course, he said, was merely
a defensive measurement TO be carried
out except In case the United States
declared war ON Germany Moreover,
he said, It was no more "plot" than
the plot" which was reported in
South American newspapers as having
been undertaken against Germany by
the United States when America
sought, according to South American
and other newspaper reports, to line
up the American republics in common
action against Germany. The foreign
secretary commented on Americas pro

EXTRA SESSION
SEEMS CERTAIN

Washington.-Prospects of an ex-
ira session of congress soon seem
strong. Members of congress gener-
ally now look for an extra session to
be called to meet not later than June
as a result of hints said to have been
thrown out by officials close to Presi-
dent Wilson.
Aside from any action on the armed
ship bill. the need of an extra session
to pass the big supply measures
which failed at the last session 10
regarded as imperative.
Although President Wilson has
been advised that he has the author
ity TO arm ships without waiting for
action by congress, some among his
advisers believed it would be the bet
ter policy to wait to see whether the
senate will act.
