PLOT WITH AMERICA,
GERMAN CYNICISM. "PARTICULARLY UNFORTUNATE" CIRCUMSTANCE. WASHINGTON, March 5. Mr Cyril Brown, cabling from Berlin, says: "The news of the German plot was received in Berlin with the utmost calmness. The newspapers say that the betrayal of Germany's offer of an alliance with Mexico has been made capital of by Mr Wilson. The press here contends that Germany was within her rights in proposing an alliance with Mexico." LONDON, March 5. Count Reventlow, in an article, says: "' Germany's offer to Mexico is incomprehensible, because Mexico would be unable to seize and Bold United States territory." The Frankfurter Zeitung admits that it is particularly unfortunate that "such a very secret document fell into treacherous hands." The Cologne Gazette says : " Germany's step was conditional on the United States declaring war. It was generally known that the United States had long: been engaged in provoking neutrals against Germany."
