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

"The lmt. Importantl part of, the
a! Inei plo i: its condilion and1 f1( orm."
(Thev vor-Aion of the Zimmllernmnnil"
;taleilni(it cabled fromi Liondon reads
in this seiilenec "tle mlost iuliIori'l tt
!Warl of the alleged plot is its cndi
tionial form.")
"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-.

"lunt there were othier facts which
seemedi to confithriI s and similar'
assurances. I~verybody k news these
farts' andl I needl not r'epeat. them.
The entente piropa'ganda ser'vices have
