MUCH ANXIETY IS FELT Imperial Government Is Wondering ITow Many More Secrets May Be Known at Washington; Zim-. merman n Is Target. 5PE.NHAGEN, via. London. April 1. The German-Mexican alliance Incident, it Is evident from reports brought by persons recently arrived from Germany and from press reports of the Reichs tag sessions, continued to provide un pleasant moments for Dr. Alfred Xim mermann. Secretary for Foreign Affairs. His defense of his action behind the closed doors of the 'Reichstag com mittee and the open house has not availed to check either public or pri vate criticism, of the act Itself and, still more, the greater crime of being found out. Dr. Zimmermann's latest explanation in the Reichstag Friday is dismissed by the Tageblatt as avoiding the real rux of the matter, namely, the wisdom of the step as a matter of policy. For mal justification for the proposal is unquestioned, but. as the Tageblatt points out. the vital point is the effect that the overtures might be expected to have on Mexico, on Japan and on public opinion in the United States, particu larly in the "Western and Southern states. America May Have Had Cede. TJegardlng Dr. Zimmermann's state ment that the manner in which the American Government obtained cogni zance of the information is still under investigation, the Associated Press is informed from an authoritative German source that it is known that this could only have occurred through the United States Government being in possession of the code in which the instrucctipns were telegraphed, either before they reached Washington or were on the way to Mexico. The latter is regarded as the more probable and there is con siderable anxiety as to the further ma terial which the United States may have obtained through this insight into the most confidential German com--municatlon. The channel whereby the instructions were conevyed to Count von Bernstorff, the ex-German Ambassador at Wash ington, is described mysteriously as a "special and particularly secure" one. but it is considered not impossible that the Foreign Office took advantage of the State Department, which allowed the American Embassy at Berlin now and then to transmit communications between the German government and Count von Bernstorff. Inside Code Contained. Embodied within such dispatches were other messages, in a secret "in side" code. One such message was transmitted by Ambassador Gerard about the date of the Mexican discus sion. , The text of the information made public from Washington has never been published in Germany. An ostensible text has been made public in Germany, but that was subjected to a few though important revisions, including omission of the offer to Mexico respecting Texaa. Even at that 'he Socialist critics have ridiculed the idea that the Mexicans would consider the policy of conquering Arizona and New Mexico and have characterized the Idea of a war between the United States and Japan as a dogma like the earli r one of the "inevitable Russo-Kaglish collision." 300 RALLY FOR BONDS FARMERS, GRANGERS AJVIJ CITI ZENS MEET AT BEA.VERTON.

Unless all plans miscarry. Seaside, Oregon's famous Summer wort will have a fully equipped home naval guard. just to show the rest of the towns of the state that it too can play an important part in the general prepared ness, that is sweeping broadcast over the United States, the citizens of Sea side, according to Dan J. Moore, pro-T prietor or the Moore Hotel, who is spending a few days in Portland at tending the meetings of the hotel men, plans for organizing a, home naval guard at Seaside will be taken up with the Portland officials of the Naval Militia early this week. It is the purpose of the business men of Seasideto get recruits for the naval guard from Seaside and the nearby country. If the guard is formed the old Seaside House will be used as an armory and an observation station will .be placed "somewhere" on Tillamook Head, with both telephonic and tele graphic communications direct to the armory. Already there is a power boat at Seaside large enough for scouting duty and drill. This bolt has made repeated trips from the mouth of the Necanicum ' River and in spite of the treacherous surf the boat has negotiat ed the breakers safely. When seen at the Imperial Hotel yes terday Mr. Moore said: "I am here os tensibly to attend a meeting of hotel men who are working out their Sum-, mer advertising campaign, but while I am here I am also going to take up the question of establishing a naval guard at Seaside. I do not think- we will have trouble getting the men. There are enough young men in Seaside, all thoroughly familiar with a sailor's duties, that would make a company for such an organization. They could use the old Seaside House fas their headquarters and all that would be necessary would be to have an instruc tor. There are quite a number of high powered boats on the Necanicum River. Owners have assured me that these boats would be placed at the disposal of the Naval Militia should a company be organized at Seaside. It would also be a good Alng for Seaside and the Port land people who own homes there. 1 have spoken to a number of Portlanders and they have agreed to give the mat ter their support."

VOTE FOR WAR ASSURED (Continued From First Page.) bond issues beyond the authorizations in existence, to be, carried in the war resolution, will depend on how active the United States becomes in the war. Efforts are certain to te made to put through a universal military training bill even if President Wilson does not indorse it. There will be much oppo sition to it. particularly if the belief gans currency that such legislation would pave the way for the sending of expeditionary forces to the European battlefields. There has been much talk of a bond issue to provide a loan or credit to France of from' 1500,000,000 to 11.000. 000,000. Such a proposal would receive strong support, but there might be enough opposition to prevent immedi ate enactment of necessary legislation. Effect of Propaganda Felt. Hundreds of telegrams ' poured into the Capitol today bearing on the ques tion of war legislation. Many spoke against war, and members in favor of quick, decisive action attributed the. Hoed of messages to an organized anti war propaganda. Among the measures which will be introduced as soon as the House meets! will be the General Army Staff, bill for compulsory military training of men between 19 and 22 years of age, which Representative Kahn. ot Cali fornia, ranking Republican on the mil itary committee, will submit. Mr. Kahn said today he believed there was an excellent prospect for Its enactment. Compulsory training measures also probably will be introduced by Rep resentative Caldwell. New York, and others.

Admission to morrow to the House section will be by special card and there will be fur ther restrictions when the president speaks. Calves and Lambs at Record Prices. DENVER,""" April 1.
