Union Stirred Up Over Revelation of Plot in Hands of President Since Berns-
 dorff Handed His Passports

Washington, March 1-OfficiaI circles were stirred to their depths when it was revealed this morning that Germany had instigated a plot, whereby it was planned to unite Mexico and Japan in an attack on the United States.
 Germany, in planning for her unrestricted warfare proposed an alliance with Mexico and Japan to make war on the United States in the event that America should not remain neutral.
 A copy of the instructions which were sent by the German minister of Foreign Affairs, Herr Zimmer- man to German Minister to Mexico Von Eckhardt is now in President Wilson's hands.
 The plot as proposed was to bring Japan into the alliance thru Mexican mediation. Japan was to be urged to abandon her llince with Great Britain, France and Italy, and join in an attack on the Unit ed States.
 Mexico, for her reward was to have received general financial as- sistance and supply of arms and munitions of war from Germany in an effort to reconquer Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, her lost prov inces. and also to share in the vic torious peace terms which Germany contemplated she would be in po-
 The details of the perfection of the plot to gain the support of Mexico and the severance of al- liance of Japan with the Entente, wac left up to Minister Won Eek hardt, according to instructions signed at Berlin on January nine teeDth. The instructions also directed Von Eckhardt to propose the alliance with Mexico through Defacto President Carranza, and to suggest 10 Carranze that Mexico seek to bring Japan into the plot.
 These instructions were transmit ted to Von Eckhardt through Von Bernstorff, the German ambassa- doc to the United States, who is now on his way to Germany under safe conduct guaranteed by the Un- tied States and obtained from Great Britain.
