GERMANY TRYING TO EMBROIL
U.S.. WITH MEXICO AND JAPAN
Offered to Finance Mexico and Holds
Out Retaking of Texas, Arizona
and New Mexico.

There is no question that Germany,
thru Brenstorf and Won Eckhardt, the
latter minister to Mexico, was engaged
in a plot against the United States.
Private papers have been found and are
now in the hands of the President
conclusively proving the existence OF
such a plot. The president knew this
when he offered Won Bernstorf his pass
port and kept it secret to prevent an
attack on Bernstorf before he got out
Of the country. 1t also explains
Germany's holding the American
Minister until their own got safely out
OF the United States. The following
letter OF the German minister Of foreign
affairs reveals the whole plot. A copy
is in the hands of President Wilson:
A copy Of Zimmerman's instructions
to German Minister Won Eckhardt, Of
Mexico City, sent through Won Bern
storf, is in possession of the United
States government. 1t is as follows:
Berlin, Jan. 1o.-"On the first Of
February we intend to begin sub
marine warfare unrestricted. In spite
OF this, it is our intention to endeavor
to keep neutral the United States OF
America.
That we shall make war together
and together make peace. We shall
give general financial support. and it is
understood that Mexico is to reconquer
the lost territory in New Mexico, Texas
and Arizona. The details are left to
you for settlement
You are instructed to inform the
president Of Mexico. of the above in
the greatest confidence 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 initiative, should COM
municate with Japan, 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 a few months" Zimmerman.

Community Concert Friday Night

An unusually large crowd attended
the community concert in the high
school auditorium last Thursday even
ing. The program was varied by the
presence of the Misses Scott, Of
Wenatchee, who rendered an in
strumental trio, violin, cello and piano.
Mr.. Hansen's vocal solo was so will
liked that he had to come back.
Much OF the interest stimulated in
these concerts, and, we might add,
popularity, is due to the untiring efforts
of Mrs. Grace Carter, teacher Of music
in our school.
The date OF the next concert will be
announced later. A small admission
fee will be charged to help defray the
expense Of getting up these enter
tainments.

A nation wide movement to organize

Washington the first OF this week at a
mass meeting by the National American
Woman Suffrage association, addressed
by Secretary Baker and attended BY
Secretaries Daniels and McAdoo.
A note adopted by the executive
council to be sent 10 Presiden, Wilson
says:
I'VE devoutly hope and pray that
our country's crisis may be passed with
out recourse to war.
We declare our belief in the settle
ment of international difficulties by
bloodshed is unworthy Of the goth
century and our confidence that our
government is using every honorable
means to avoid conflict.
If, however, our nation is drawn
into the maelstrom we stand ready to
serve our country with the zeal and
conservation which should ever charac-
terize those who cherish high ideals of
the duty and obligation Of citizenship.
With no intention OF laying aside
our constructive forward work to secure
the vote for the womanhood Of this
country as the right protective Of all
rights we offer our services to our
country in the event they should be
needed and, in so far as We are author
lied, we pledge the loyal services OF
our more than two millions Of mem
bers."
The suffrage association expects to
establish bureau to work out plans for
employing women in positions left
vacant by men who might 60 to war.
