CALLS 1T A FORGERY
German American Editor Declares
Zimmerman Message "Crude Fake

New York, March 1.-The letter
is unquestionably a brazen forgery,
planted by British agents to stampede
US into an alliance and to justify vio-
lations of the Monroe doctrine by
Great Britain" was the statement of
George Vierick. editor of Vierick's
Weekly, formerly known as the
"Fatherland," a German-American
publication, in a statement issued to-
day commenting on the Zimmerman
letter given out in Washington.
The alleged letter of Alfred Zim-
mermann is obviously faxed" Vierick
declared. 1T is impossible to believe
that the German foreign secretary
would place his name under such Il
preposterous document. This impu-
dent hoax is made public simultan-
eously with frantic appeals of the al
lied premiers enjoining the United
States to enter the war
IF Germany were plotting against
us she would hardly adopt so clumsy
a method. The real 'politiker of the
Wilhemstrasse' would never offer an
alliance based on such ludicrous posi-
tions as the conquest by Mexico of
American territory. The creaking of
the machinery of the British propa-
ganda is clearly perceptible."

appeared it was noticeable that Luis
Cabrera. clever diplomat, member of
the Mexican gre up, gave out disquiet-
ing hints.
He talked of the relations of japan
and Mexico-a sinister hint that the
American government did not fail to
note, tho at the time it did not sus-
pect that there was in the making
anything so tremendous as a German
plot that might react upon the very
existence of this nation.
Since then there have been German
spies on the Mexican border. There
have been secret missions between
Mexico City and Washington on the
part of Teuton diplomats.
But the message intended for the
German envoy at Mexico City came
into American government hands OPP
portuneIy and gave this nation suffi-
cient warning wherewith the combat

Now the whole affair for the time

Becomes Partisan Scrap.
Lodge retorted:
I'VE ought to know the evidence
on which we are proceeding. l don't
think that there is anything about my
inquiry that could be distasteful TO
the president and we ought to know
about it so that we can act together.
Senator Hardwick's objection stood,
but when the senator realized this,
he put the matter over to tomorrow.
A hasty move was made to have the
resolution to the foreign committee.
Senator Pomerene asked that it go
there, with request for immediate
action. Senator Lodge suggested he
committee might kill the resolution
there, but Democrats retorted that
there was no inclination to do so.
IF it is to be killed it might as

''That makes the whole matter
doubtful" he continued. THAT is
why the sooner we know about this,
the sooner we will be able to act
properly.
II repeat that this senate is ready
to act-and act patriotically-upon
anything which it is asked to act on.
Therefore we ought not to act with

The parliamentary situation became
tangled objections flew for a time to
variously worded requests for re-
ferring the Lodge resolution to the
foreign relations committee. Senator
Stone, chairman of the committee, was
uncertain as to how long it would take
the committee to act.
Finally the bill was referred to the
foreign relations committee.

Protests against insufficient suDplies

become involved, also was a subject
upon which much discussion was ex-
