GERMANS TOLD OF ACT

AMSTERDAM, Saturday, March 3.-Dispatches re- ceived today from a semi-oficia German agency carried to newspapers throughout Germany statement frankly admitting Gemanys part in the affair against the United States.
 The governments is that the German minister told that if the United States declared he should at once offer an alliance with the Mexican government. He expressly instructed the dispatch said to take no such action unless certain that the United States would declare war; and that the attempt to unite other netras against Germany was considered sufficient to lead Ger many to believe that the United States would follow 1t with declaration of war.
