EXPLANATION
German Foreign Minister Says Attempt to
Secure Alliance With Mexico Was
Quite Honorable.

London. March 30.--Reuter's AM
sterdam correspondent sends the fol-
lowing concerning the address of DR..
Alfred Zimmerman, minister of for
eign affairs, with regard to Germany's
attempt to embroil Mexico and Japan
with the United states:
Hugo Hasse, leader of the Socialist
minority in the reichstag, remarked
that the German offer of an alliance
with Mexico had aggravated the stu
alton with the United States, and DR..
Zimmerman. replying. said:-
Il wrote no letter to General Car
rama. / was not so naive. l merely
addressed Ivy route that appeared to
me to be a safe ono. instructions to
our representative in Mexico. 1t is
being investigated how these instruc-
tions fell into the hands of the Amer
lean authorities.
II instructed TIE minister to Mex
leo, in event Of war with the United
states, to propose German alliance
to Mexico and simultaneously to sug-
gest that Japan join the alliance. l
declared expressly that despite the
submarine war we hoped America
would maintain neutrality.
My instructions were to be car
ried out only after the United States
declared war and state of war SUI
pervened. l believe the instructions
were absolutely loyal as regards the
United States. General Carranza
would up to the present. have heard
nothing of it if the United States had
not published the instructions, which
came into its hands in a way which
was not unobjectionable. Our behavior
contrasts considerably with the be-
havior of the Washington government
president Wilson, after our note of
January 81, 1917, which avoided all
aggressiveness in tone, deemed it
proper to break off relations with
extraordinary roughncss. Our am
bassador no longer had the opportun-
ity to explain Or elucidates orally our
attitude. The United States govern
ment thus declined to negotiate with
us. On the other hand, it addressed

SHIPS TORPEDOED BY
GERMAN RAIDER

Rio Janeiro, March 30.-The French
bark Cambronne has arrived here with
200 men of the crews of various
steamers and sailing ships sunk by a
German raider off the island of Trini-
dad.
They reported many sailors from the
sunken vessels were drowned.
The rescued sailors who are French,
English and Italian, report that the
raider is an armed sailing ship with
a gasoline motor. They say the raider
showed the Norwegian flag and when
it sighted a ship signalled 1t to ap-
proach. AS soon as the ship obeyed
the signal, the raider hoisted the Ger
man flag and opened fire.

Government Summons Aid
to Secret Service in Ap-
pretending Plotters.
POLICE, DETECTIVES
IN ALL TOWNS HELP
Postmasters Will! Keep Vigil
Private Citizens Aid
Will be Welcome.

Washington, March SO.-virtually
the entire force of the federal govern
mcnts civilian employees, approximate
1y 100000 men and women engaged in
every branch oftservicc, has been sum-
moned to aid the bureau of investiga-
tion and the secret service in the de-
lection of spies and the apprehension
OF persons engaged in plots, intrigues
OR other. activities against the inter-
ests Of the. United States.
Police Asked to Aid.
In addition the government has
sought the active cooperation of the
police and detective forces of every
town and city Of consequence through
out the country. Hundreds Of letters
requesting such CO. operation have been
mailed broadcast by the department of
justice and replies pledging unstinted
aid are coming back in great numbers
by telegraph and mail.
The largest single force which the
government has enrolled, with the pos
soble exception of the municipal police
and detective forces, is the army of
postmasters, all of whom have been
instructed to permit no clue as to the
identity OF suspected individuals and
their activities to go unreported. Un-
der the postmasters are working the
letter carriers in the cities and the
rural free delivery carriers in the
country, a force all told of about 3OO,-
900 men.
Instructions to the federal employees
call for the prompt reporting to desig-
mated authorities Of all information
which might seem to furnish clues in
ferreting out agents of foreign govern
ments. Under this head come letters
passing through the mails, kilograms
and even overhead scraps of conver-
satiof Indicating activity against the
government.
Such information will be promptly
forwarded to the proper investigating
body In Washington, the name of the
informant neld secret, and on inquiry
quietly begun wherever Investigation
is warranted.
Private Citizens, Too.
Although no request for co-opera-
tion has been addressed to the general
public. officials welcome and hold in
strictest confidepce cooperation Oh
the part of all private citizens looking
to the prevention Of activities harm
full to the national interest. A num-
Der of private citizens, impelled by
patriotic motives, already have fur
nished much valuable information of
this character and have aided materi-
ally in the work of the two bureaus
heretofore engaged in enforcing the
maintanence of American neutrality.

itself Immediately to all the neutral
powers to induce them to join the
United States and break with us.
Every unprejudiced person must
see in this the hostile attitude of the
American government which seemed
to consider it right, before being al
war with us, to set the entire world
against us. 1t cannot deny us the
right to seek allies when it has itsci
practically declared war on u.s.
Enemies Of America.
Il was rcproachcd for thinking just
of Mexico and Japan. First of all,
Mexico was a ncighboring state 10
America. If we wanted allies against
come into consideration. The relations
between Mexico and ourselves since
the time of porfirio Diaz have been ex-
tremely friendly and trustfu]. The
Mcxicans. moreover, are known as good
and efficient soldiers.
1T can hardly be said that the rcla j.
tions between the United States and
Mexico have been friendly and trust
fur but the world knows that antag-
onisIns are stronger than those which.
despite the war, exist between Ger
many and Japan.
"Whcn thought of this alliance with
Mexico and Japan l allowed myself to
be guided by the consideration that our
brave troops alreadNS have to fight
against a superior force OF enemies
and my duty is, as Ear as possible, to
keep further enemies away from them.
That Mexico and Japan suited that
purpose even Herr Haase will not de-
ny.
Thus / considered it a patriotic
duty to release those instructions and
I hold to the standpoint that l acted
rightly"
The Emergency Budget.
The emergency budget voted yestcr-
day, the dispatch adds, authorized the
imperial chancellor to meet the cur
rent expenditures of the empire for
the months of April, May and June.
The reicbstag continued the debate on
