So elegant is that note of the hy-
pocrisy Of the kaiser that cannot do
better than reprint it here, that 1t may
be read In connection with the kaiser's
repeated expressions on the subject Of
the yellow peril"
The note runs:
ION February 1 we intend to begin
submarine warfare unrestricted. In
spite of this it is our intention to en-
deavor to keep neutral the United States
of America. II this attempt is not sue
cessful we propose an alliance on the
following basis with Mexico: That we
shall make war together and together
make peace.
I'VE shall give general financial sup
port, and 1t is understood that Mexico
is to reconquer the lost territory In New
Mexico. Texas and Arizona. The details
are left to you for settlement. You are
instructed to inform the President Of
Mexico Of the above in the greatest con-
fidence as soon as 1t is certain that
there will be an outbreak of war with
the United States. and suggest that the
President Of Mexico, on his own initia-
tive. should communicate with Japan,

''At the same time, offer to mediate
between Germany and Japan. Please

Mexico that the employment OF ruthless
submarine warfare now promises to
compel England to make peace in q
few months. ZINfMERMANN,"

The Yellow Peril.

cannot recall when first heard Of
the yellow peril" know I asked what
it meant and was told that it referred to
the vast hordes of Chinese and Japa-
nese who some day, If properly trained
and armed. would prove great menace
to the white races, especially in Europe,
which they might try to overrun as the
Turks had done in bygone centuries.
After I went to Germany heard con-
stantly Of the yellow peril" from In
fuential persons and read much about
it in the newspapers and magazines and
I wondered why we had not paid more
attention to 1t in America. Tho fact
that a great military power like Ger
many was talking about this menace
gave me the idea that possibly there was
a great deal in it

Invention Of Kaiser.

Later learned that the phrase ''yel-
low peril was originated by the kaiser.
Indeed, 1t was frequently pointed out
that Germany was making a big mistake
in sending German officers to train the
japanese army and permitting the Ger
man ammunition factories, especially
the krupp works, not only to sell them
guns and ammunition, but to show them
how to manufacture munitions them
selves, in view of the fact that the kai-
ser was constantly alluding to the men,
ace Of the yellow races After the war
started and the Japanese entered it
against Germany influential Germans
did not hesitate to tell me that it served
them right.
After we helped to develop the Jap
anese army and navy they have now
turned against u.s." they complained.
1T serves us right for being 80 foolish
as to teach them the tricks Of the
trade"
According to the talk of the German
diplomats before the war, the expec-
tation was that Japan's power would
be used against America at the first
opportunity. Whether the object of
this campaign was to stir up trouble
between Japan and America. or only to
awaken this country to a sense of the
danger which the Germans professe,l
to believe threatened her. I don't
know. I do know. however, that the
prospect of a Japanese-Americaa war
seemed to worry the Germans consid-
erably more than it worries us.

Kaiser Praises Roosevelt.

From time to time the kaiser spoke
to me along those lines. In 1905,
shortly after the treaty Of Portsmouth
was conSummated between Russia and
Japan through President Roosevelt,
putting an end to Russian-Japa-
nese war. saw the kaiser and he pro-
fessed to be very pleased with the
results achieved.
You should be very proud Of your
chief. Davis" he said, for bringing
about peace between Russia and
Japan That was really a wonderful
achievement, and. for the time being
at any rate, effectual1y puts an end
to japanese aspirations
The fact that the Japanese them
selves seemed very dissatisfied with
the easy terms exacted from Russia,
which was evidenced by riots of rather
serious dimensions in the streets of
Toxic and other japanese cities evil
IDENTIFY signif1ed to the kaiser that
Japan had been Automatically beaten
by the treaty although victorious in
