procession formed In honor of the in
augural ceremonies.
Luncheon Deferred for Parade.
In years pust the presidential party
always has entered the White House
for luncheon prior to the review of
the parade from the stand in front of
the executive mansion. This invaria
bly in the past caused such a delay
that It was decided this year to do
away with the luncheon feature.
President Wilson with Mrs. Wilson,
the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall,
and two members of his cabinet went
immediately to the little inclosed struc
ture. much like a sentry box, which
had been built in the middle of the
treat grandstand in front of the White
House and from which the chief exe
cutive viewed the pnraders.
It was the gravity of the situation
in connection with our foreign affairs
which gave to the inaugural ceremo
nies their serious tone and patriotic
features. The parade of the day was
largely military in its nature, although
there were in the procession many
bodies which in a sense might be said
to represent the spirit of industrial
preparedness of the United States for
any eventuality which might come.
Make-up of the Procession.
At the forefront of the parade as it
left the eapitol were, of course, the
president and the vice president of the
United States with their guards of
honor. Major General Hugh L. Scott.

The West Point cadets and the An

of the United States as properly could
be spared from post and garrison duty.
In addition there were troops from
Delaware. Pennsylvania. New Jersey,
Marylrnd, Virginia, and some other
states of the Union representing the
National Guard.
A patriotic and picturesque feature
of the ceremonies attending the Inau
guration was supplied by the rapidly
thinning ranks of the Grand Army of
the Republic. In years past the sol
diers of the war between the states
hare made the entire length of the line
of march, but this year the distance
whi<h they tramped was shortened.

above them.
At night Washington was aglow
with fireworks and with the combined
effects of gas and electric light illumi

showed the heavens here and there,
and one great shaft of light illumi
nated the apex of the Washington
monnment while another lighted up
and brought Into bold relief the dome

German Plot Against United States
Berlin’s Order to Its Mexico City Minister to Form a German-Mexi
can-Japanese Alliance Against the United States if the Break
Came Between the Kaiser’s Government and Washington.
Washington.—Following is the text of the instructions sent
oy German Foreign Minister Zimmermann at Berlin to Minister von
Eckhardt in Mexico City, ordering the latter to propose to Carranza
the projected alliance between Germany, Japan and Mexico:
“Berlin, Jan. 19, 1917.—On the 1st of February we intend to
begin submarine warfare unrestricted. In spite of this it is our in
tention to endeavor to keep neutral the United States of America.
“If this attempt is not successful we propose an alliance on the
following basis with Mexico: That we shall make war together and
together make peace. We shall give general financial support, and
it is understood that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory in New
Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. The details are left to you for settle
ment.
“You are instructed to inform the president of Mexico of the
above in the greatest confidence as soon as it is certain that there
will be an outbreak of war with the United States and suggest that
the president of Mexico, on his own initiative, should communicate
with Japan suggesting adherence at once to this plan; at the same
time, offer to mediate between Germany and Japan.
“Please call to the attention of the president of Mexico that
the employment of ruthless submarine warfare now promises to
compel England to make peace in a few months.

Zimmermann note of January 19, 1917,
inviting Mexico to join Germany in
war against the United States as pub
| lished this morning was textuatly cor
! rect.
Washington, March 3.—The West
ern Newspaper Union was enabled to
reveal last Friday morning that Ger
many, in planning unrestricted subma
rine warfare and counting its conse
quences, proposed an alliance with
Mexico and Japan to make war on the
United States if this country should
uot remain neutral.
Japan, through Mexican mediation,
was to be urged to abandon her allies
and join in the attack on the United
States.
Mexico, for her reward, was to re
ceive general financial support from
Germany, reconquer Texas, New Mex
ico and Arizona—lost provinces—and
share in the victorious peace terms
Germany contemplated.
Details of the Plot
Details were left to German Min
ister von Eckhardt in Mexico City,
who hy instructions signed by Ger
man Foreign Minister Zimmermann
at Berlin January 19, 1917. was direct
ed to propose the alliance with Mex
ico to General Carranza und suggest
that Mexico seek to bring 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

The document has been in the hands
nf 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
Hollweg was declaring that the United
States had placed an Interpretation on
the 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
j 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.
i Tlie document supplies the missing
link to many separate chains of cir
: cumstances. which until now havt
seemed to lead to no definite point.
It sheds new light upon the frequent
ly reported but indefinable movements
of the Mexican government to couple
its situation with the friction betweer
the United States and Japan.
It adds another chapter to the cele
brated report of Jules Cnrabon, French
ambassador iu Berlin before the war
of Germany’s world-wide plaus for stir
ring strife on every continent where
they might aid her iu the struggle foi
world domination which she dreamer
was close at hand.
It adds a climax to the operations ot
Couut von Bernstorff and the German
embassy in this country, which have
■ been colored with passport frauds,
charges of dynamite plots and Intrigue,
the full extent of which never has been
I published.
Emphasizes Our Perils.
It gives new credence to persistent
reports of submarine bases on Mexi
can territory in the Gulf of Mexico;
it takes cognizance of a fact long rec
ognized by American army chiefs,
that if Japan ever undertook to in
1 vade the United States it probably
would be through Mexico, over the
border and into the Mississippi valley
to split the country in two.
It recalls that Count von Bernstorff
when handed his passports was very
reluctant to return to Germany, but
expressed a preference for asylum iu
Cuba.
It gives a new explanation to the
repeated arrests on the border of men
charged by American military authori
ties with being German intelligence
agents.
Last of all, it seems to show a con
nection with General Carranza’s re
cent proposal to neutrals that exports
of food and munitions to the entente
allies be cut off. and an intimation
that he might stop the supply of oil,
1 so vital to the British navy, which is
exported from the Tampico fields.
What Will Congress Do?
What congress will do, and how
members of congress who openly have
sympathized with Germany in their
opposition to clothing the president
with full authority to protect Ameri
can rights will regard the revelation
of Germany’s machinations to attack
the United States is the subject of the
keenest interest.
Such a proposal as Germany in
structed her minister to make to Mexi
co borders on an act of war, if, actu
ally, it is not one.
No doubt exists here now that the
persistent reports during the last two
years of the operations of German
| agents not alone in Mexico but all
i through Central America and the West
! Indies are based on fact.
There is now no doubt whatever
that the proposed alliance with Mex
ico was known to high Mexican offi
cials who are distinguished for their
anti-Americanism. Among them are
Rafael Zuburan, Carranza's minister
to Germany, and Luis Cabrera. Car
ranza's minister of finance.
The Hand of Mexico.
It is apparent that the proposal had
taken definite form when Zubaran re
turned to Mexico City from Berlin re
cently. His return from his foreign
post was covered by the fact that Car
ranza had called in many of his diplo
mats for “conferences."
It was declared by a high Japanese
authority on Wednesday night that if
the Gentian proposal of an alliance
ever readied Tokyo it was regarded as
merely a new ebullition of German
“kultur" and that it was thrown in the
wastebasket where ir belonged.
He asserted no such proposal had
been made to the embassy here and
that if it had been no attention would
have been paid to it.
He said: “Tlie whole idea was abso
lutely preposterous.”
In order to make an alliance with
Germany, he added, it would be neces
sary for Japan to break from the allies
and negotiate a separate peace with
the Teutonic powers. But above all
that, he said, the Japanese sincerely
desired friendly relations with the
United States.

AUTHORIZED A GREAT NAVY
| Provided Also for increase and Reor
ganization of Army—Some of the
Momentous Economic Statute?
That Were Passed.
Washington, March 5.—The Sixty
I fourth congress, which has passed into j
! the annals of things that were, will be j
; long remembered as tlie congress '•
j which responded to the demand for
j national preparedness. While eco- j
1 noinic statutes of pitli and moment i
| have been written into the law of the
] land, preparedness measures, inspired
by tlie European war, om-iop all other
legislation.
Although ample provision has been
made for fortifications, and authority j
has been granted by congress to more j
than double tlie standing army of the !
country, the metamorphosis of the
United States from a commercial to
a fighling nation has been wrought
by the naval increases authorized. !
Tlie congress now expired has au
thorized naval armaments destined to
make Uncle Sam eventually the peer
of any nation on earth in sea power,
excepting, perhaps. Great Britain.
in tlie two sessions comprising tlie
Sixty-fourth congress there have
been authorized and appropriated for
no less than 118 war craft. Nor is
tliis all. Tlie first session adopted a
three-year-building program, the con- :
struct ion of which should be under
taken prior to July 1. 1918. This pro
gram included this allotment of fight- i
ing ships: Ten battleships, six battle
cruisers, ten scout cruisers. 30 torpedo- i
boat destroyers, nine fleet submarines.
•Vf'const submarines, one experimental
submarine (Neff system), three fuel
ships, one repair ship, one transport, i
one hospital ship, two destroyer ten- !
ders, one fleet submarine tender, two j
ammunition ships, two gunboats.
Naval Vessels Appropriated For.
By the act which adopted this build
ing program congress appropriated
for four battleships, four battle cruis
ers. four scout cruisers. 20 destroyers,
80 submarines, and one each of these
craft: Experimental submarine, fuel
ship, hospital ship, ammunition ship
and gunboat. During the second ses
sion provision was made for three bat
tleships. one battle cruiser, three scout
cruisers. 15 destroyers, one destroyer
tender, one submarine tender and IS
submarines.
If tlie Sixty-fifth congress adopts the
three-year program the remainder of
the units for the reorganized battle
fleet will be appropriated for next
year. Staggering sums have been re
quired to meet these detnnnds, the na
val appropriation for th. second ses
sion of the expired congress alone
amounting to almost a round half-bil
lion dollars.
So great have been these expendi
tures that the ordinary sources of rev
enue are not sufficient and a special
revenue measure had to be passed.
Representative Kitehin. majority lead
er and chairman of the house ways
and means committee, a small-navy
man. in drafting the revenue measure
and pressing it to passage through the
house charged full responsibility for
the measure to the advocates of pre
paredness.
Increase of the Army.
Increases of the regular army and its
reorganizations under the national de
fense act were less striking than the
naval increases. But the regular army
was increased from au authorized
peace strength of 100,000 to an author- j
ized peace strength of 210,1)00. capable j
of expansion in war time to 256.000. I
After prolonged agitation for prepared- ;
ness both on land and sea. the consen
sus of the military experts was that the \
United States with its enormous length j
of coast line must rely on its fleet to
defend its shores.
In the discussions that preparedness
agitation in congress provoked it was
again and again demonstrated that the
temper of the American people is ab
solutely against a big standing army.
Former Secretary Garrison formulated
and laid before congress with Presi
dent Wilson’s approval a scheme for a
Continental army to be recruited and
trained under the universal military
training principle. Representative Hay
of Virginia, then chairman of the pow
erful house military committee, op
posed the Continental army idea and
substituted for It in the national de
fense act, the federalization of the Na
tional Guard. Mr. Hay won President
Wilson over to his way of thinking—the
Federalized National Guard became the
second line of the land defenses and
Secretary Garrison resigned from the
cabinet.
Other Notable Acts.
Although preparedness was the key
note of legislation, the Sixty-fourth
congress found time also to enact a
ship purchase bill, the Adamson eight
hour railroad law. a child labor law, a
measure to forbid the immigration of
Illiterate aliens, a roiral credits bill, a
vocational educational bill and an act
reorganizing the government of Porto
Rico and extending citizenship to the
Islanders.
The ship purchase hill established
a government shipping board to su
pervise shipping matters generally. It
appropriated $50,000,000 to be ob
tained from the sale of Panama canal
bonds for the purchase or construction
of ships to be leased to private Indi
viduals in an effort to restore the
American merchant marine.
The Adamson eight-hour railroad
law was enacted on the eve of ad
journment of the first session of the
last congress. Tlie enactment of
the measure prevented a nation
wide railroad strike. It, however
has never become effective. Be
twnen the time of its enactment and
the time for the commencement of its
operation, January 1 last, the constitu
tionality of tlie measure was chal
lenged by the railroads, and the whole
matter is now pending in the Supreme
court.
Supplemental railroad legislation,
proposed by President Wilson in his
annua! message last December, failed
of enactment. This legislation would
have provided for tlie prevention ol
strikes by compulsory legislation. It
was heartily opposed by all of the
bodies of organized labor which had
previously sought the eight-hour rail
road law.
Child Labor and Immigration.
Tlie child labor law barred from In
terstate commerce all products of chil
dren under sixteen years of age in
mines or of children under fourteen iD
factories.
The passage of the immigration bill
with its literacy test was accomplished
over President Wilson’s second veto.
Tlie literacy feature liad been a
subject of controversy between the ex
ecutive and legislative branches of the
government for llie past twenty years.
Presidents Taft and Cleveland both ve
toed immigration measures because
they carried the literacy feature,
which all three presidents thought was
not a proper measure of the fitness of
aliens for admission to the United
States.
The federal farm-loan act, commonly
called the rural-credits hill, created
12 federal land hanks with $750,000
capital each. The bill provides a sys
tem whereby loans may be made to
farmers for productive purposes
through national farm-loan associa
tions. It will meet more particularly
the needs of agriculturists in the West
and South.
Under the vocational educational act
the federal government, on a gradually
increasing scale covers every state ap
propriation dollar for dollar for secon
dary school instruction in agriculture
and tlie mechanical and industrial arts.
On the eve of adjournment congress
passed tlie post-office appropriation
hill, with an amendment making “bone
dry” all states having prohibitory laws.
This measure was introduced in tlie
senate by Senator Reed of Missouri.
Its unexpected enactment had the ef
fect of absolutely prohibiting the ship
ment in interstate commerce of intoxi
cants into states or territories which
forbid the manufacture or sale of
liquor.
It also closes the mails to all liquor
advertising, including newspaper ad
vertising. Neither can letters solicit
ing liquor orders be carried in the
mails.
sixteen Senators Retire.
Sixteen senators have now discarded
their togas and prefixed their titles
with “ex.” This disturbance of per
sonnel reduces but does not upset the
Democratic control of the upper house.
The Democratic majority of 16 is cut
to 12, leaving out of consideration such
senators and senators-elect as La Fol
lette. Hiram Johnson, Poindexter and
Norris, officially classed as Republic
ans but not always voting according to
classification.
Among the nationally known sena
tors now retired to private life are
Clarence D. Clark of Wyoming, who
has served in the senate continuously
since January 23. 1893; Moses E. Clapp
of Minnesota, one of the original Pro
gressives ; Luke Lea of Tennessee, now
only thirty-seven years old, known as
the “Baby Senator;" James E. Martine
of New Jersey, who acquired fame
early in his senatorial career by his
stanch defense of applejack as a bev
erage, and John W. Kern of Indiana,
who has been Democratic leader of the
senate.
“Needing no introduction" among the
new senators are Hiram Johnson of
California. Frank B. Kellogg, “trust
buster.” of Minnesota, and Philander
C. Knox of Pennsylvania. Unlike the
rest of the senators-elect, “their repu
tations are made;” all they need to do
is to “live tip to 'em.”
