Berlin, March 3.-The following -was given out today by the Overseas News agency (the otlcial German news bi reau): Foreign Secretary Ziinicrmann was asked 'by a staff member of the Over eas News agenye auut tle English report that a German plot had been revealed to get Mexico to declare war against the United States and to so eutre Japan'i a1d against (lie United States, Secretary Zillmermanin an swered: ")Youi understand that. i is iIpossilhe for mie to discuss the facts of this 'revoaled plot' jIst at this mno Ii(nt aidi lndeler these cirlcmlinstances.

"The whole 'plot' falls flat to Ile groind in case the Tililt ed St ates does not. leclare war against Its. And If we really, as lie report alleges, con sidered the Ipossibility of hostile nets against United States, then we really had reasons to do qo. "An Argentine newspaper a short while ago really 'revealed a plot.' when It told that the United States last year lsuggested to other American re publics coiion action against Ger many and her allies. ThIs 'plot' ap parently was not conditional in the least. The news as published by La Prenra (Iuenos Aires) agrees well with the interpretation given, for in stance, by an American newspaper man, Irward Price, in Berlin and TAmdon, who said that the United States was waiting only for the proper ilollent in order oppoltune0y13' to as sist the entente.' (The London cabled version reads "In order ope1y to assist the.allies.") "The same American stated that Aiericans fromt the beginning of the wia reolly parti'0pated in it by ut ling the inmense resources of the UnIted States at (lie enitente's disposal and thaut Amnerieanis hadl not declar'ed war' only hecause they felt sur'e (lint assistance by friendly neutrality wvocld be during the tinie much more eill clent for the entente than direct .par-. t ielpat ion in (lie war.
