GERMANY PLANNED
 MEXICAN CONQUEST

Nogales, Ariz, March 2.-The country a German empire, ruled by one of the Hohenzollerns was Ger many's ultin ate object in her gl- gantic plot to stir strife on the Am erican continent.
 This fact was learned last night from high, unimpeachable authorl- ty here This source is authority for the following outline of the Germanic plan of conquest of Am- erica and Mexico.
 An alliance between Mexico and Germany for war on the United States.
 The exodus of 100000 German citizens from the United States to Mexico these Germans to be incor- porated into the allied German Mexican army.
 Then the treacherous seizure of Mexico by Germany after that re- public had been squeezed dry of everything it could offer in aid to Germany.
 It was the plan of German dipio- mats to improve their relations with Mexico during the progress of the war so that when peace was made ultimately between Germany, Mexi- CO., Japan and the United States, these diplomats would be in a posi- tion to seize the Mexican govern ment and convert it into a Ger man empire.
 Count von Bernstorff was slated to direct these operations from Mexico City in the event that war was declared and Mexico was drawn into the alliance.
 The trunk of Capt. Richard Wal ter SchwierZ, German. secret agent, who was arrested in Nogales sin July, 1916, was seized here last night from the express office by Byron Mock, special agent of the department of justice, after Mock had complied with all legal formal ties. Mock declined to reveal the nature of the trunks contents.
 Schwierz, following his arrest for violating the embargo laws, escaped to Mexico, where he now is. How ever before he escaped he made complete confession of all that he knew in regard to Germany's aims in regard to a German Mexican all linace, and the intent to precipitate a war between Mexico and the United States
 Schwierz was led to believe that important documents had fallen into the hands of the government agents, and angered at the Mexican gov ernment for it's failure to pay him certain money he claimed due him. Schwierz fell into the governments trap and talked openly and freely,
 Schwierz declared that German secret service agents, acting under orders from Count von Bernstorff, were engaged in stirring up strife between the United States and Mex ico for the double purpose of dl- verting the shipment of munitions from the United States to the allies and cutting off the English supply of oil from Tampico.
 tp the captain, that in the event of war the United States immediately would acquisition all munition plants to manufacture arms and equipments for home consumption
