DASTARDLY GERMAN COHSPIRADY IS REVEALED UNCLE SAM UNEARTHS SECRET PLOT; BERNSTORFF WAS ONE OF THE PRINCIPALS Germany Made Proposals to Mexico anJ Japan to Join With Her In War on United States Mexico's Part of Spoils Was to be Texas, J Xew Mexico and Arizona Bern storff Handled the Communication World Stands Aghast at Das tardly Intrigue Congress Solidly Behind President. An Associated Press dispatch sent out from Washington to the morning papers of Thursday carried one or the most startling pieces of news that the public in this country has had since the world wa began in 1914. It read as follows: The Associated Press is able to reveal that Germany, in planning un restricted submarine ' warfare and counting its consequences, proposed an alliance with Mexico and Japan to make war on the United States if this country should not remain neu tral. Japan, through Mexican mediation, was to be urged to abandon her al lies 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 Mexico and Arizona lost provinces and share in the victorious peace terms Germany contemplates. Details were left to German Min ister von CKnarar in Mexico v.ny, , who, by instructions signed by Ger man Foreign Minister Zimmerman at .Berlin, January 19. 1917. was di rected- to propose the alliance with Mexico to General Carranza and sug gest that Mexico seek to bring Japan into tne plot. These instructions were transmit ted to von Eckhardt through Count von BernBtorff, former German Am bassador 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. Germany pictures to Mexico, by "broad intimation, England and the Entente Allies defeated; Germany -. and her Allies triumphant and in -world domination by the instrument of "unrestricted submarine warfare , A copy of Zimmerman's instruc tions to von Eckhardt. sent througn Ton Bernstorff, is in possession of the United 8tates Government. It Is as follows: ' , Berlin, Jan. 19, 1917. On the 1st of February we in "tend to begin submarine warfare un 'restricted. In spite of this, it is our Intention to endeavor to keep neutral the United States of America. If this attempt is not successful, we propose an alliance upon the fol lowing basis with Mexico: That we shall make war together and togeth er make peace. We shall give gen eral financial support, and it is un derstood that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona. The details are left to your settlement. 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 out break of war with the United States, and suggest that the President of Mexico, on his own initiative, should communicate with Japan, suggest ing a H Vi or on no at roa tn thla nTnn! at the same time, offer to mediate between Germany and Japan. Please call to the attention of the President of Mexico that the em ployment of ruthless submarine war fare now promises to compel England to make peace in a few months. (Signed) ZIMMERMAN. Officially Confirmed. This morning's (Friday's) papers carry the following Associated Press dispatch from Washington: President Wilson tonight, In re sponse to the Senate's call, laid he fore that body official Information that the United States Government is In possession of evidence which es tablishes the authenticity of the sen sational document which disclosed how Germany intrigued to ally Mex ico and Japan with her to war on this country. In response to the resolution, the President transmitted a report from Secretary Lansing establishing that the evidence has come Into the pos session of the United States . within the last week, and the authenticity of Foreign Minister Zimmerman's instructions to German Minister von Eckhardt in Mexico City, are estab lished as revealed by the Associated Press. Standing With the President. Aroused by the disclosure of Ger many's plot to unite Japan and Mex ico with her In a war upon the Unit ed States, and then convinced by of ficial evidence of its authenticity, Congress today abandoned the delays and obstructions which have checked President Wilson's efforts to he clothed with express authority to deal with the submarine menace. The House, after a 10-hour de bate and by an overwhelming ma jority, passed a bill to empower the ' President to arm merchant ships and providing for a hundred million dol lar bond issue. The bill, however, does not contain the grant of au thority to use "other instrumentali ties" which, the President specifically desires and would prevent Govern-' ment war Insurance for monition ships, a prohibition which the Presi dent does not approve. When the House "bill la received to -the Senate tomorrow, the Senate 'hill, which the Administration fully .commends, will be substituted, and that is expected finally to be accept ed by both houses as the law. Official announcement was made at the White House today that 'tne Administration .stands behind the Senate bill "first, last and all tne time" with its provision for "other instrumentalities." Won't Disclose Source. In the Senate, an attempt to asi the President to disclose the Govern ment's source of information of the attempted intrigue with Mexico and Japan, on the supposition that it came from one of Germany's enemies was defeated after a sharp and sen sational debate. Instead, the Sen ate merely asked for official notice of the authenticity of the dispatch of instructions from German Foreign Minister Zimmerman to German Min ister von Eckhardt in Mexico City. The President transmitted it imme diately, with the statement that It would not be compatible with the public interests to reveal further de tails concerning it. -Members of both houses of Con gress, some skeptical of the authen ticity of the astounding revelations of Germany's intrigue: others feel ing that it had been permitted to be come public for its effect in Congress and throughout the country, met the situation with mixed emotions, which, with a few possible exceptions as the day's developments were un folded, solidified into a decision to stand behind the President. Congressmen, classed with the so called pacifist group in the House, who have been opposing a grant or authority to the President on tne ground that it would be a step to ward war, announced that they would vote for the armed neutrality bill in the belief that to arm th President to protect American rignts might be the way to avoid war. Sensation in London. The following dispatch from Lon don was published this morning: The time is past when any fresb orientation of the German policy If calculated to astonish the British public view, but the revelation of the plot to induce Mexico and Japan to attack the United States provided this country with a first-class sensa tion today. The Associated Press Washington dispatches gave the late afternoon papers the first news, which was dis played under startling headlines, such as "Great Hun Plot Unmasked, "Most Sensational Plot of the War." "Amazing Revelation of German Du plicity." The edition of the papers was ear ly exhausted. The immediate idea of the man in the street was that here at last was an undoubted casus belli for the United States, the only matter for curiosity appearing to be how soon an actual declaration or war might be expected. The news was too late for editorial comment in the afternoon papers, and the Government officials ap proached declined to make any state ment for publication. Perhaps next to the effect of tne news in America, the attitude of Ja pan excited the public mind most. Nowhere did the idea prevail that Japan could be detached from the Entente Alliance. Altogether, while confidence is felt that such an in trigue could only recoil on its au thors, the British public is watching developments with greatest interest. Marie Doro Ideal Today. Cleveland CulIIngs. The Star, Feb. 27th. A bill has been Introduced in the Legislature by 'Representative W. A.

Scottish Chief. . Roy Traywick. of Union , county, gave such a story of the treatment of State convicts that under a reso lution of Representative R. F. Beas ley, a committee was appointed to Investigate. The testimony so far before the committee has not been creditable to the State in these day when public opinion is more than ever applying the laws of humanity to the erring. We have all felt pfty for the convicts of other states where. c&argea 01 inhumanity made against those who had them in charge hare been sustained by evidence, but we have notteen so mindful of onr own erring ones.

"An impromptu stage was arrang- ed In the center of the large oplohlal dining room where a clever and ar tistic program was presented for the entertainment of the guests.

She is a young woman re markably endowed, possessing more than her share of the qualifications that make for success. She has youth and beauty and much grace of man ner and in addition to these charms so generously bestowed by nature she has a remarkable soprano voice of wide range and much power. Her tones are clear and her diction ad mirable combined with a breath con trol that Is unusual In so young a singer. That Miss Jenkins can sing is an undisputed fact and one known to her friends but her graceful danc ing came as a distinct surprise. In an enchanting costume of billowy tulle. Miss Jenkins suggested the poise and lightness of a bird as she moved daintily about the stage per forming the intricacies of the steps of her dance. Should Miss Jenkins choose a professional life as her ca reer, her success will be unquestion ably assured." Miss Jenkins is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. L.

GASTON I A ARTIST DELIGHTS CHARLOTTE AUDIENCE. The following account of Miss Marie Torrence's Charlotte recital is from Wednesday's Charlotte Obser ver: A large and representative audi ence was present in the main audi torium of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening to greet Miss Marie Torrence. one of the State's most gifted young concert singers. This was Miss Torrence's first appear ance in Charlotte and she charmed her hearers. The recital was given under the auspices of the Treble Clef. Miss Torrence was assisted by four brilliant pianists, Miss Helen Foil, vice-chairman of the Treble Clef; Miss Sallie Dixon, accompanist; Miss Elsie L. Stokes and Miss Ger trude Elizabeth McRae, members of the music faculty at Queens College. Mrs. A. C. Orndorff, chairman or the Treble Clef, was fortunate in se curing such splendid talent for last evening's recital, which is one of a series scheduled for the Winter and Spring. Miss Torrence possesses a soprano voice of marvelous beauty. It is flexible, true and exceptionally high. She has received her training under some of the best instructors in New York, having recently returned to ber home In Gastonia. During the Winter Miss Torrence has appeared in joint recital with Slgnor Sorren tino. the celebrated Italian tenor. . She Is a strikingly pretty blonde and has a charming stage presence. Each number of her program list evening was enthusiastically receiv ed. "Spring's Awakening" and Aria Du puis le jour (Louise) were rend ered with fine effect, and after con tinued applause she gave as an en core "Love Me" by Ros O'Neill.

An attempt was made to destroy theHemporary toll bridge across the Catawba river at Sloan's ferry early this morning by unknown parties. The explosion occurred at nine min utes past midnight, according to a statement made by the man ki charge of the bridge early this morning, and shattered a part of the railing in the first span on the Mecklenburg side. Sheriff W. N. Davis and Policeman Adam Hord returned to the city at 10 o'clock this morning from the river where they went about four o'clock, in response to a message telling that the bridge had been dy namited. The, blood hounds belong ing to the Gastonia police depart ment were taken to the scene In an effort to capture the guilty party or parties. No arrests were made, how ever. Dynamite used in the explosion was secured, It is stated, from a sup ply that is being kept near the river on the Mecklenburg side and which is being used by Mecklenburg coun ty workmen In tearing down the remnants of the Sloan's ferry con crete bridge which haa been stand ing since the big bridge was swept away last July." This work has been in progress for several weeks, an ef fort being made to salvage the steel from the wreckage. Similar attempts have been made during the past several days to blow up this bridge but failed because of the Improper handling of the explo sive, it is understood. Three' unex ploded sticks of dynamite were dis covered this morning oh another pier. These sticks hadalso failed to explode because of the manner In which they were placed. Envy Is claimed to be the cause of these attempts to demolish this bridge as considerable revenue Is being collected by the owners, while a ferry, operated just below the bridge, is made to suffer for lack of patronage. An average of $15 per day In tolls has been collected by the operators of the bridge since it was erected about four months ago. . Officers in both Mecklenburg and Gaston counties are working on the case and some arrests are expected within a short time. The negro ferryman. Henry Par ker, was arrested this afternoon and after a preliminary hearing was bound over to Superior Court on a charge of dynamiting the bridge.
