War on America by Alliance of Mexico and Japan With Teu-
 tons Proposed.
WILSON HAS THE EVIDENCE
President Has Copy of Official Instruc- tions Outlining Details of Conspir- acy Against Our Government- Carranza Told to Recon
 Quer Texas, Arizona
 and New Mexico.


 Washington, March 3.-0n Friday morning the Western Newspaper Union WAS enabled to reveal that Ger many in planning unrestricted subma- rine warfare and counting it's conse- quenCes, proposed an alliance with Mexico and Japan to make war on the United States if this country should not remain neutral.
 Japan, through Mexican mediation, was to be urged to abandon her allies and join i'll the attack on the United States
 Mexico, for her reward was to re- ceive general financial support from Germany, reConquer Texas, New Mex leo and Arizona-loSt provinces-and share in the victorious peace terms Germany contemplated.
 Details of the Plot.
 Details were left 10 German Min ister yon Eckhardt in Mexico City, who by instructions signed by Ger man Foreign Minister Zimmermann at Berlin January 19, l9l7. WAS direct ed to propose the alliance with Mex leo te General Carrauza and suggest that Mexico seek to bring Japan into the plot.
 These instructions were transmitted to NOn Eckhardt through Count Von Bernstorff. former German amhas- Sador here, now on his way home to Germany under Il safe conduct ob- tained from his enemies hy the eeuu- try against which he was plotting war.
 Pictures World Dominion
 Germany pictured to Mexico by broad intimatien England and the en- tente allies defeated; Germany and her allies triumphant and in world domination hy the instrument of un- restricted warfare.
 A copy ef Secretary Zimmermann's instructions to Von Eckhardt. sent through Nen BernStorfr. is in posses sion of tue United States government.
 Duplieity Is Exposed
 The document has been in the hands of the government since President Will son broke of diplomatic relations with Germany. Il has been kept secret while the president has been asking congress fer full authority to deal with Germany, and while congress has been hesitating. IL was in the presidents hands while Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg waS declaring that the United States had placed an interpretation on the submarine declaration never in- tended by Germany and that Ger many had promoted and honored friendly relations with the United States "as an heirloom from Frederick the Great"
 Of itself if there were no other. 1t is considered sufficient answer to the German chancellor's plaint that the United States "bruSquely" broke off re- lations without giving authentic" req sons for it's action.
 Supplies Missing Link
 The document supplies the missing link to many separate chains of cir cumStances, which until now have seemed to lead 10 no definite point.
 It sheds new light upon the frequent ly reported but indefinable movements of the Mexican government to couple it's situation with the friction between the United States and Japan.
 It adds another chapter to the cele- brated report of Jules Camhon. French ambassador in Berlin before the war. of Germany's worldwide plans for stir ring strife on every continent where they might aid her in the struggle for world domination which she dreamed was close at hand
 It adds a climax to the operations of Count von Bernstorf and the German embassy in this country, which have been eolored with passport frauds, charges of dynamite plots and intrigue. the full extent of which never has been published
 Emphasizes Our Perils.
 It gives new credence to persistent reports of submarine bases on Mexi- can territory in the Gulf of Mexico; 1t takes cogniZance of fact long rec ognized by American army chiefs. that if Japan ever undertook to in- wade the United States 1t probably would be through Mexico. over the border and into the Mississippi valley to split the country in two.
