GERMANY CONFIRMS
PLOT WITH MEXICO
BUT JUSTTFIES 1T AS INTENDED
ONLY IN CASE OF
WAR.

German Foreign Minister thinner
mannn's frank admission that Ger
many did seek to ally Japan and
Mexico with her to war against the
United States caused no surprise to
American officials. although 1t may
be said they did not expect so full
and free an acknowledgment Of the
exposure.
Some officials had thought there
might be an attempt to discredit the
authenticity Of the revelations by
offering an explanation Of a different
character.
American officials never have had
the least doubt Of the authenticity of
the evidence in their hands.
Situation Not Altered.
Minister Zimmermann's defense of
Germany's intrigue on the ground
that it was only intended to be car
ried out in the event the United
States did not remain neutral, is
taken not to change the situation in
the slightest degree. Whether it was
presented to General Carranza or not
and the fact that it is believed not
to have been communicated to Japan.
do not, in the opinion Of American
officials. alter the established fact
that Germany, while seeking the Of
fees of the United States to make
peace and while protesting her inno-
cence in any intention to violate
American lives, was at the same mo-
ment preparing unrestricted subma-
rine warfare and was intriguing to
attack the United States with two
allies.
Mr.. Zimmermann's references to
an alleged pilot" by the United
States to unite pan-America against
Germany are regarded with mingled
feelings of incomprchension and
amusement. The Pan-American
Union. the Argentine embassy and
the state department can find record
of no such newspaper publication as
Zimmerman contends revealed the
pilot" in Buenos Aires.
The only event which officials can
recall which is susceptible of being
distorted into such a charge as Zim-
hermann makes was discussion early
in Secretary Bryan's term of Office of
plan to surround the pan-American
with neutral zone in which there
were to be no naval operations. Moth
ing ever came of it.
Ridiculous, Says Japan.
The declaration of the Japanese
government through Foreign Minis
ter viscount Montono. that Japan has
received no proposition from Mexico
or Germany to join in possible war
against the United States was supple
mented in a statement made, on be-
half of the government by Kijuro
Shidehara, vice foreign minister.
Eve are 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"
