DupIieity 10 Exposed.
The document has been In the hands
of the government since President Viii
son broke off diplomatic relations with
Germany. 1t has been kept secre,
while the president has been asking
congress for full authority to deal with
Germany, and while congress has been
hesitating. 1t was in the presidents
hands while Chancellor Won 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 honoreG
friendly relations with the United
States "as an heirloom from Fredericb
the Great"
OF itself, II there were no other. il
Is considered a sufficient answer to the
German chancellor's plant that the
United States "brusquely" broke off re
lations without giving authentic" rea
sons for its action.

ly reported but indefinable movements
OF the Mexican government to couple
its situation with the friction between
the United States and Japan.
1t adds another chapter to the ccle
brated report of Jules Cambon, 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 fOI
world domination which she dreamed
was close at hand.
1t adds climax to the operations OF
Count Won Bernstorff and the German
embassy in this country. which have
been colored with passport frauds
charges of dynamite plots aad intrigue
the full extent Of which never has been
published.
Emphasizes Our Perils.
1t gives new credence to persistent
:eports Of submarine bases on Mexi-
.an territory in the Gulf of Mexico
t takes cogniZance Of fact long rec
)gnzed by American army chiefs
that If Japan ever undertook to in
vade the United States it probably
would be through Mexico, over the
border and into the Mississippi valley
to split the country in two.
