GERMAN "AUTHORITY" AN I ATlN-AMFRIP.a

K IN MEXICAN PLOT

(By Associated Press) AMSTERDAM. Nov. 25 The German plot to incite Mexico and Japan to war against the United States or

iginated with Herr Von Chemnitz who bore the title of Legation Counselor and was employed in a subordinate capacity in the German Foreign Office, It Is now asserted. This is disclosed by Professor Bonn, Rector of the Commercial Academy at Munich. Bavaria, according to the Munich Neueste Nachrichten. "Vcn Chemnitz." says the Munich newspaper, "imagined himself an authority on Latin-American affairs and suggested the scheme to Dr. Albert Zimmerman," then German Secretary for Foreign Affairs. "Zimmerman discussed ittwtth other foreign office officials but they thought it unfeasible. "Zimmerman kept the matter In mind. Presently, Von Chemnitz came and told him that In the next few days an especially reliable messenger would leave for Mexico, to whom the message could safely be entrusted, and that it was a. matter of now or never. "Zimmerman allowed himself to be over-persuaded and so the fatal step was taken." Dr. Albert Zimmerman on January 19,1917, directed the German Minister, iVon Eckhardt, at Mexico City to propose an alliance between Germany, Mexico and Japan to take effect as soon as It was certain there would be war between the United States and Germany. The German minister was directed to urge President Carranza of Mexico to ask Japan's adherence to this scheme. Zimmerman proposed that Mexico should "reconquer the lost territory of New Mexico, Texas and Arizona." The German plot was made public by the United States government in February, 1917. Its disclosure was one of the Btartllng incidents which preceded America's entrance into the war. Professor Morltz J. Bonn, director of the Commercial High school at Munich, was lecturing In the United States on German history and defined German war alms in addresses delivered here before the United States became a belligerent.

(By Associated Press) LONDON, Nov. 25. Lieutenant Julius H. Fulcher of Frisco, N C. who with Lieut. Frank L. Muller of Oakland, Cal., was taken on board the German submarine Deutschland from the torpedoed American cargo ship Ticonderaga, Sept. 30, and was brought to Harwich yesterday by the U-boat, was wounded severely in the thigh when the Ticonderaga went down, acto the Harwich correspondent of the Daily Express. He escaped on a raft and was picked up by the U-boat. Lieut. Muller was taken aboard by the same boat but Lieut. Fulcher did not learn of his presence until some days later. "They gave me a drink of brandy

and questioned me about American troops and other things," said Lieut. Fulcher in an interview. "I was then taken to the forespeak where I had to sleep with not less than thirty-five German sailors who lived in this dungeon. The first bath I had was when a rain squall hit the submarine while I was on deck. "On the eighth day of my captivity Germany sent a peace note to President Wilson and on the eleventh day the submarines were recalled from the American coast. On the thirteenth day we encountered a Norwegian vessel from New York to Australia. She was captured and sunk after her provisions had been transferred and the crew turned adrift in a small boat 1,000 miles from, land. "We fired sixty shots at an English sailing ship two days later but two British cruisers appeared and we submerged to a depth of 150 feet. The cru'sers dropped depth charges and the submarine trembled. "On Oct. 26, when the U-boat was recalled, I had been on board 25 days. When I arrived at Kiel I was told I

would be sent home by way of Copenhagen, but later two officers came and told me I could go to England on one of the surrendered submarines If I wished. I accepted gladly and found that the U-boat was the same one which had torpedoed my ship. , "The Germans treated me very well, but I have come to the conclusion that if a man can stand twenty-five days' imprisonment on a German U-boat he can stand anything." Lieut. Muller was brought back on the same boat with Lieut. Fulcher.

PLENTY OF TURKEY FOR THANKSGIVING SAYS FOOD HEAD

WASHINGTON, November 25 Plenty of turkey for Thanksgiving; also chickens, ducks and geese. This is the comforting assurances from the United States Food Administration today. And the statement was not made until after a survey of the poultry situation in all parts of the country. The Food Administration was prompted to make an inquiry into the available supply of turkeys and other poultry by numerous requests from virtually every state for a Thanksgiving dinner menu in keeping with food conservation for world relief. To prepare a universal menu it was necessary to know what supplies were in reach for the annual feast. With this information in hand, the following i3 suggested for a family of five or six persons: Roast turkey, chicken, duck, goose or game, if the state law permits, with bread dressing, made from left-over dried bread, or Oriental stuffing. Mashed potatoes, mashed turnips, baked tomatoes (home canned), cranberry sauce, lettuce or fruit salad, pumpkin pie or steamed pudding. Where there happens to be a shortage or over-supply of poultry or vegetables in certain localities, changes in the menu in keeping with the local situation should be made. Use of local products is advocated so as to lessen -the burden of rail transportation.
