OF which was vouched for by Presi-
dent Wilson personally to the senate
today, never reached Pres. Carranza.
Being thus intercepted, it was never
passed on to Japan.
Attention is called to the fact that
in his instructions Zimmerman -stipu-
lated that Eckhardt should only
breach the matter to Pres. Carranza
''as soon as it is certain that there
will be an outbreak of war with the
United States" It is pointed out that
this certainty had not developed at
the time Ambassador BeTnstorf left
this country.
That the Japanese government
would not consider any proposition
such as that advocated by Sec'y of
Foreign Affairs Zimmerman in his
Mexican-Japanese plot" note was
the conviction expressed by Sec'y
Lansing today.
Lansing authorized the following
statement:
1.-The department does not believe
that Japan has had any knowledge
of this or that she would consider
any proposition made by an enemy"
In connection with the revelation
of the Observation-Disclosures
situation, it was strongly limited to-
day the government already has in
formation, or has lines out to get it,
concerning the recent Cuban Upris-
ing, quite generally interpreted as of
German origin.
Authorities here have watched
that case closely in view of the dan
gerous possibilities to the United
States.
Back of these international plot
tings may be plot within the United
States to encourage food riots as
propaganda support of an embargo
on supplies to the entente allies.

Washington, March Japanese
Ambassador Sato today denied any
knowledge OF the alleged implication
of Japan in the reported German
Mexican plot, but admitted that the
report that Germany had made such
an attempt through Mexico was
probably true. He said:
Germany is very much mistaken

make war against the United States.

pied, was in flames when the fire was
discovered Il was half mile away
from the nearest alarm box, at Eighs
tconth and Boulevard. Sergeant Davis
Of the motorcycle squad. struck the
alarm from there. and then there
started a steady stream Of FIRE appa-
ratus, automobiles and humanity to
the scene. They could do no good.
however, as the building was half
consumed when the fremen arrived,
and there was no water nearby.
Finally a line Of hose was laid from
Nineteenth and Franklin streets, but
tho engines had dihiculty in getting
enough water to be Of any benefit, and
the building was consumed. II was
uninsured. Ono Of the largest crowds
Wilmington ever has had at fire
gathered to witness the blaze.

greeting:
To the people Of New England:
Although facing the greatest task
of Il history in the shadow of gloom
that overlangs a war-torn world, may
Il Happy New Year for one another
and for u nation. UGH happiness if
it does no include the fulfllment Of all
our hopes may at least spring from
the sense of duty we'll done and sac
ritice ung~rudgingly offered for the well
fare Of mankind.
There are many in America who do
not yet realize the seriousness of the
war in which We are engaged. There
are others and among these particu-
larlN the people of. New England by
whom the full force of the war is now
being felt. To the laggard and UNI
thinking Of the nation, the New Yeai
must bring Il keelier realization of theil
duty to the country and themselves.
To the people of New England must
come new courage. In the minds and
the hearts Of all, whether Of New Eng
land or the Fa West must there be
lodged the determination that for them
no effort is too great. no sacrifice toe
eNactins. in order that this war shall
he brought to a speedy and victorious
conclusion. Only SO ran the year 1915
he made a happy one, not only fol
the United States but for all the ma
tons Of the globe.
