Turnagain Arm
 Work Be Pushed on Both Ends

Work along Turnagain arm is to be pushed from both ends this summer, according to an an n0uncement just made by the Alaskan engineer ing commission.
 No particular point will be disignated as the goal from either end, each district engineer hav- ing instructions to do as much as possible and CO., operate in the matter of distribution of supplies.
 Advices from Seattle this morning state that bids were called for today for 12,OOO,OOO feet of bridge timberS and heavy construction lumber in addition to 100000 already ordered for the Sew ard division and contracts previously let for ma teria for other divisions. Details as to the destl- nation of the latest order were not given out.
 No further statement has been made as to the time by which the line between Seward and Anchorage will be completed but it is evident from preliminary preparations that the work will be driven ahead at the fastest gait possible.
 Reports from along the line show that snow conditions are favorable and that the line can be opened as soon after the bridges on this end are rebuilt as occasion may demand.

ZIMMERMAN.

A copy of Foreign Minister Zmmermans instruc-, tons to Ambassador BernstOr and to German Minister von Eckhardt Mexico City is in the hands of President Wilson,
 Japan through Mexico was urged to abandon her, allies and join in the attack on the United States.
 Mexico for her reward to receive general fnan- ca support from Germany in her war to reconquer Texas New Mexico and Arizona mentioned in the instruction to Bernstor as Host territory and to share the vctor Ous peace terms which Germany contemplated imposing upon her foes
 Details were left to Mini ;ster Eckhardt who by the instructions signed at Berlin January 19 directed to propose the alliance with Mexico to CarranZa and to- suggest that Mexico seek to bring Japan into the plot
 These instructions were actually transmitted to Mini ster vOn Eckhardt by Ambassador Bernstor while the ambassador was still here after the break with Germany
 It is pointed out that Bernstor, in spite of his tions is now on his way home to Germany under safe conduct obtained from his enemies, by American officials against whom he was caught plotting war.
 Germany pictured to Mexico by broad intmaton that England and the entente allies were defeated and that Germany and her allies triumphant and would ob- tain world dominion by the instrument of unrestricted submarine warfare"

SEE CHANGE OF CAMPAIGN

GENEVA, Thursday, March 1.-Al- though the withdrawal of German forces on the Ancre and Bapaume sectors may signify the abandonment of taetically unfavorable projections of the German line at this point, an other explanation is offered by Ameri- cans who just come to Switzerland after a prolonged stay at Berlin.
 They say that. the Germans realize that vast quantities of ammunition have been prepared to blow them out of their trenches, and that the present retirement may be the beginning Of a regrouping of the Teutonic forces in the west with the intention of bring ing on decisive "open field engage ment to settle the fate of the war"
 Such a plan would, if carried out, make useless vast preparations by the allies for a continuation of trench warfare and would force them to hastily organize methods of field transport to keep moving batteries  supplied with ammunition.

PARIS, Thursday, March l.-Ger- man troops are falling back today to line behind Bapaume, the goal of the tremendous attacks launched by the British forces in the west, according to reports from aeroplane scouts.

It was made clear at the embassy

Following Wilson's Suggestion.
The German diplomats say Presi-

cluded" has been fully met by Ger

United States Stirred by Rumor That
Arredondo Has Been Recalled-Ca-
brera and Negri Mentioned.

Washington, Dec. 29.-That Gen.
eral Venustiano Carranza has not
signed the troop withdrawal protocol,
but has instead again substituted
contemporaries, was the growing be-
lief here late Thursday. This belief
grew even in those official circles
where earlier hope was expressed that
the first chief ultimately would sign
the paper.
To Seek New Conference.
Men close in touch with the situa-
ton said they believed Carranza will
seek another peace conference. This
request was expected to be submitted
by Chairman Luis CABRERA of the Mex
lean commission.
Senior Cabrera arrived here from
New York bearing the answer of
Carranza to the demand of the Amer
lean representatives that he ratify or
repudiate the protocol signed at At.
lantic City. He made telegraphic ar
yangements with Secretary Lane to
submit the answer late Thursday.
Arredondo Recalled?
1t was reported here that general
Carranza, first chief of the de facto
government, has ordered Eliseo Ar
redondo, Mexican ambassador desig-
nate, to withdraw from the United
States without delay. Senior Arredon-
do denied the report, but it has been
here for several DAYS that
if General Carranza did not return
such an answer as would warrant a
reassembling of the joint commission,
the negotiations would be declared
ended and General Carranza's ambas-
sador designate, Senior Arredondo.
would be recalled to Mexico.
Although Cabrera has been suggest
ed as possible successor to Are.
dondo, Consul General de Nigri of San
Francisco was reported as Carranza's
choice to fill Arredondo's place.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Germany is
ready to grant greatly modified peace
terms, according to information OBJ
tanned in official circles here.
President Wilson, it is stated, has
been advised to this effect by James
w. Gerard, American ambassador to
Germany, who had a conference with
the kaiser.
Germany's Terms.
Germany's peace terms, as modified,
are in substance:

cific islands and payment of an in
demnity by the Allies for damages to
persons and property therein.
Not Verified Officially.
Although this information emanates
from an administration source, it's &C.
curacy could not be verified officially,
as neither the White House nor Sec
rotary of State Robert Lansing would
discuss the confidential cablegram re-
ceived from Mr.. Gerard.
The chief modification in this YER
sion of the latest German peace terms
is the abandonment by Berlin of the
proposal for the establishment of Po-
land and Lithuania as independent
kingdoms and the proposal to pay a
Belgian indemnity offset by allied in
IDENTITIES.

sons peace note has reached the state
department. The official who an

answer. The official text differs but |
slightly from the unofficial.
