While sons? of the Ger man papers hate received the news of German-Mexican intrigue with comparative indifference, others have vigorously denounced the polT t Secretary Zimrnermann, anxng theaj Tages Zictung. Count von Kevent low. formerly one of the most ardent advocates of unrestricted submarine warfare, and general supporters of extreme measures, writes: "A a result of .the publication of the German offer to Mexico, sen timent which has heretofore been di vided in America, is solidly behind the President. Circumstance or its possible results hardlv calculated to fill 4is with iessimism. However, thosa circles who have been basing hope for presentation of peace on divided public opinion in the United States are now forced to deplore the turn of things, and doubt the wisdom of Germany's policy which so far as Mexico is concerned, may le stigma tized as bringing a lighted match in contact with a powder cask. - viewed from this angle, the offer to Mcxrco is wholly incomprehensible in view of Mexico's condition, and the iurther fact that an allied Mexico held out no more promise than the one which would have exploited auto matieally a (jerman-Amencan war; The offer of such an alliance would seem to rest largely on a lack of in timate acquaintance with Mexican af fairs and American relations. Those desiring a policy permitting a return of the United Statesto normal relai tions after the war cannot help but deploe a German alliance plan-front his view point alone. Mexico- is a frontier neighbor of the United States and Germany's offer will not be fori gotten soon. It is to be deeply deJ plored that the chancellor and forein secretary neglected to seize the op- portunitv yesterday to express them- selves concerning this episode and heir political policies.'
