Presidents Hands Tied by a Few

Reveals Navy Secrets to World

Beginning with last Thursday
news Of the most astounding charac
ter has come from the Capital with
reference to Americas relation tc
the Great War and the conduct OF
certain of our officials under the cir
cumstances.
On last Wednesday the President
announced to Congress that he hat
proof OF an outrageous plot
on the part Of Germany to array
Mexico and Japan against the United
States.
A copy of the document submitted
to Congress follows:
Berlin, January 10, 1917
"On the first of February we in
tend to begin warfare unrestricted
In spite of this, it is our intention
to cndeavor to keep neutral the
United States of America.
"lf this attempt is not successful
we propose an alliance on the fol-
lowing basis with Mexico: That we
shall make war together and togethc.
make peace. We shall give general
financial support and it is under
stood that Mexico is to reconUucr
the lost territory in New Mexico.
Texas and Arizona. The details are
left to you for settlement.
"4ou are instructed to inform the
president of Mexico of the above as
soon as it is certain that there will
be an outbreak of war with the
United States and suggest that the
president of Mexico, on his own ini-
tiative, should communicate with Ja-
pan, suggesting adherence at once
to this plan; at the same time, offer
to mediate between Germany and
Japan.
"Please call to the attention of the
president of Mexico that the employ
ment of ruthless submarine warfare
now promises to compel England to
make peace in few months.
(Signed) "Zimmermann."
In many quarters this pcriidiouS
was considered an act Of
war and sufficient warrant for Il dee
laration of war on the part of the
United States even if there had been
no other aggrav&tion.

LET HIM BE EXPELLED

From Charleston News and Courier:
The anger felt by naval officers
and administration officials at Wash
ington against Senator William J..
Stone, of Missouri, for his mischiev-
Gus revelations in the Senate debate
of important naval secrets will be
felt by patriotic Americans the ma
ton over. Senator Stone had already
earned the full share of public con-
tempt. His present exhibition is the
last straw. There is but one way to
answer it as it should be answered.
He should be expelled from the Sen
ate as promptly as possible.
