GERMANY FIRM IN
DETERMINATION NOT
TO CHANGE POLICY

London, March 1.-Speaking in the
reichstag today, Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman referred to "a telegram
from the Swiss minister at Washing
ton saying that America desires to
avoid war. provided Germany is willing
to treat on the question of the subma-
rine blockade"
Quotations were furnished in a wire
less dispatch from the official Ger
man press agency.
zimmerman was also quoted as
saying:
Germany is In all ways convinced
that the submarine war ought not to
be stricted."
The telegram which Zimmerman
mentions was undoubtedly transmitted
by DR.. Ritter at Washington, at the
time Immediately after Washington
was advised of the German submarine
warfare, and before President Wilson
broke off relations. This feeling on
Americas part was semi officially
stated at that time.

BRAZEN FORGERY
SAYS THE EDITOR
OF GERMAN PAPER
Viereck Sees Attempt by
British Agents to STAN
pede United States Into
War With Germany.

New York, March 1.-THE let
ter is unquestionabIy q brazen
forgery, planted by British agents
to stampede US into an alliance
and to justify violations of the
Monroe Doctrine by Great Britain"
was the statement Of George
Viereck, editor of Vereck's Week.
ly, formerly known as the "Fath-
erland," a German American pub
lieation, in a statement issued to-
day, commenting on tho thinner
mann letter given out In WASH
ineton.
The alleged letter Of Alfred
zimmerman is obviously faxed"
he declared. at 10 impossible to
believe that the German foreign
eecretary would place his name
under such a preposterous docu-
nent. This impudent hoax 10 made
public simultaneously with fran
tic appeals of the allied premier
enjoining the United States to en-
ter the war.
"lf Germany were plotting
against us she would hardly adopt
so clumsy a method. Tho real
politiker of the Wilhelmstrasse
would never offer such an alliance
as the conquest by Mexico of
American territory"
"The intention is, of course"
the statement continued, "to
arouse the war spirit Of the peace
loving west and to overwhelm the
Paeifists in every part Of the
country.
Despite the work of various
imaginative authors in the employ
of Great Britain, we have. still re-
tanned our common sense. We
can still differentiate between flo
tion and fact. The American peo-
pie are willing to be thrilled, but
refuse to be humbugged."
