GERMANS PLANNED
LONG IN ADVANCE
FOR PRESENT WAR
Fresh Evidence Gathered From
Papers Seized From Won

Dumba Optimistic to Last

WASHINGTON. April 25.-Repeated

was forced upon Germany, and asser-

a white book, appears letter from X.

in Berlin, to Captain Won Papen seeking
information regarding the best means of

point is that this letter was written

fore the outbreak oc war This letter
says:

eral railway trains were blown up by
revoluIionaries during troubles in Mex

Ell. in the event of a European war, eX-
plosions Of this kind would have TO be
reckoned with. it is requested that, II

ed as to how these attacks have been
carried out
Captain Won Papen. replying from
Mexico, where it is now known that
he was industrously planting the seeds
of German propaganda and establishing
connections, for Germany to use IN the
event that she should war upon the
United States. did not regard the opera
tons Of the Mexican revolutionarles as
Of any particular value.
Another letter TO Won Papen from the
manager of the Potsdam branch of the

view here.
differences in food, climate and
language would hamper them" said the
am ia ssador. "Of course" he added. Il
am merely repeating what our military
men have told me. am not a mill
tary man myself But l am told it is
technically impossible from a military
standpoint. to send Japanese troops to
France. The Japanese soldier would
need japanese food. and the three
weeks required to send it would ruin
our supplies. Our troops would be
further hampered by the difference in
language which would prevent the full
est co-opera ton with their allies"
Asked if Japan would take military
measures 10 prevent the Bolsheviki
from removing stores and munitions
from Vladivosrok. the ambassador said:
All the allied powers must take steps
to prevent those supplies from falling
into the hands of the Germans. | am
not in a position to judge whether il
would be considered menace for these
supplies to be removed by the Rus
slams themselves. That would depend
entirely on immediate circumstances,
but Japan is ready to act as soon as
a common danger exists and as soon
as there is a common desire on the
part of the allies to protect interests

SUBMARINES ARE
STARVING LITTLE
NEUTRAL NATIONS
Holland and Other Countries
Can't Get Supplies From
United States Because of
Threats of German U-BOatS

WASHINGTON. April 25.-German
submarines now are starving neutral
Holland. Switzerland, Spain and Swe-
den.
Food and agricultural supplies Orom-
ised these nations by the U.''*4@ states
are not gong forward - --use German
threats have frighte- .ed ship owners
from sending bottoms for the supplies.
The supplies were promised under va
rious trade agreements this country
made the nations named IN return for
the use Of ships.
Holland Is badly in need of grain.
Two Dutch ships loaded with grain are
in Atlantic ports waiting to sail They
cannot sail until two other Dutch ships
leave Dutch ports for this side. A third
Dutch ship is held i'm an Argentine port
with grain waiting similar release.
Germany has threatened TO torpedo
Dutch ships leaving for the United
states. cable dispatches say
Ship owners Of only two neutral coun-
tries are daring 10 keep their agree
ment with the United States and are
sending bottoms despite German threats.
These owners are residents of Norway
and Denmark. They have defied the
submarines since the beginning of the
war.
Spain. under agreement with the
United States. was to send her ships to
get railway and agricultural supplies.
Yet almost no supplies have gone for
ward though this country stands ready
to grant clearance if Spain fultills her
obligations by shipping supplies over
land to Pershing.
Regular departure Of ships loaded
with grain for 2 Mediterranean port and
L j.. hnfv hn11
up pending granting of safe conduct by
Germany.
Exchange of supplies with Sweden
also is being held up because ships are
not lea ving when SUPPLIES go forward
from the United States. Last week
three ships were released with phos-
phate rock and nitrate for Sweden with
the hope Sweden would later start bot
toms for this side. No more clearances
will be permitted, however, until cor
responding number of bottoms leave for
the United States
The American government is striv-
ing for some arrangement whereby the
Dutch can have more supplies. Whether
an arrangement can be made is prob
lematicaI. but officials manifested a de-
sire to treat Holland not only fairly but
literally in this situation.
This is significant I'm the fact that
Holland now finds herself in trouble
with Germany over an old dispute, and
the tone of reports here indicates that
break between the two countries is
dangerously near. Holland has a sturdy
army but it is doubtful she could with
stand the force that Germany might
use to overrun her. Holland complains
that the allies have failed to aid her in
strengthening that army; and 1t is to
meet that complaint that the state de-
partment and war trade board are now
seeking to amplify the supplies.
