Details were left to German Min
ister von Eckhardt in Mexico City,
who by instructions signed by Ger
man Foreign Minister Zimmermann
at Berlin January 19, 1017, was direct
ed to propose tho alliance witH Mex
ico to General Carranza and suggest"
that Mexico seek to lying Japan into
the plot.
These instructions were transmitted
to Von Eckhardt through Count von
Bernstorff, former German ambas
sador here, now on his way home to
Germany under a safe conduct ob
tained from his enemies by the coun
try against which he was plotting
war.
Pictures World Dominion.
Germany pictured to Mexico by
broad intimation England and the en
tente allies defeated Germany and
her allies triumphant and in world
domination by the instrument of un
restricted warfare.
A copy of Secretary Zimmermann's
instructions to Von Eckhardt, sent
through Von Bernstorff, is in posses
sion of the United States government.
Duplicity Is Exposed.
The document has been in the hands
of the government since President Wil
son broke off diplomatic relations with
Germany. It has been kept secret
while the president has been asking
congress for full authority to deal with
Germany, and while congress has been
hesitating. It was in the president's
hands while Chancellor von Bethmann
Ilollweg" was declaring that the United
States had placed nn interpretation on
ihe submarine declaration "never In
tended by Germany" and that Ger
many had promoted and honored
friendly relations with the United
States "as an heirloom from Frederick
the Great."
Of itself, if there were no other, it
is considered a sufficient answer to the
German chancellor's plaint that the
United States "brusquely" broke off re
lations without giving "authentic" rea
sons for its action.
