From Mexico to Berlin, No. 9, March 2, 1917.
Reply to Telegram 15 par 2.

A visit to the President at Queretaro was inopportune, so I took the opportunity of a short visit here of the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the 20th February of sounding him. He willingly took the matter into consideration and thereupon had a conversation, which lasted an hour and a half, with Japanese Minister, the tenor of which is unknown to me. He subsequently went away to see the President where he was staying at the time.

Yesterday after the publication by the "Universal" I telegraphed to him in clear to give him a line, that the affair was unknown to me,

von eckhardt.
