WASHINGTON. March a2-Presi-
dent Wilson today began work ON
his message to the war congress o3
April 2.
simultaneously eanAAo1s and rspro-
sentatives OF all faiths were wiring In
pledges OF support to the vhfoe house.
Among those who are redpondine
to the demands for aggressive action
against Germany are members of the
little group OF wilful mon" charged
by President Wilson with placdng the
United States In q '-contemptibl
light before the world. as result OF
filibusterins tactics In the la1t con-
gress.
Owing to the nature OF the present
situa tion, 1t is believed the fight for
organization will be short lived in the
house. 1t is believed probable that
some course OF action will be agreed
upon by leaders before April 3.
The president can address con-
gress before the house organi8es, but
until It organizes no action should be
secured on any resolution the presi-
dent might ask. It is for this reason
that efforts now are under way by
both Parties to make all possible
speed and some sacrifices, II neces-
sary to expedite organization OF the
house.
But even while the president was
considering his war address" tho at
tention Of officials and diplomats was
today directed sharply to internal de-
velopments in Germany. With re-
ports OF Increasingly serious food
riots and growing restfveness among
the German peoples, came r1mors or
possible peace moves. emanating from
Teuton quarters.
Comment of the entente press was
also read with an eye to distinguish
ing any ear-marks Of a general weak
ening all through Europe to the pres
sure for peace. While confident that
the entrance of the United States into
the struggle will probably serve
either directly or indirectly to ma
terially shorten the war, officials be-
lieve it probably will be July before
the frst-if any-real strides toward
peace are registered.
The Russian situation Is being
watched closely now that the United
States is on the verge Of actual war.
For many months there have been

Neutral Move Toward Patch

United States and Ger
many is Unpopular.
PRO GERMAN MOVE
Not Known Who Is Inspiring This
Talk, But Swiss Minister
Ritter ls Under
Suspicion.
[By J. P. Yoder, United Press Staff
Correspondent

[By J. P. Yoder, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The
state department today squelched all
suggestions for neutral mediation be
tween the United States and Ger
many. This will continue to be the
administration attitude until the slate
is clean between Germany and
America.
Suggestion that neutral move
toward mediation was proceeding,
brought from the department the
definite knowledge that this govern
ment is not now disposed to parley.
Administration officials including
Secretary OF State Lansing, were
frankly displeased at the mediation
talk, branding it as pro-German and
anti-Amerioan. The state department
said officially it had not received "a
formal mediation offer, aside from
the several offers made at the time
of the break with Germany to do any
thing that could be done.
Just who was inspiring the media
ton talk was unknown But there
was a suspicion that it might be
fostered by Swiss sources, especially
as a propaganda move just after the
break was directly traced TO the ell
forts of the Swiss Minister Ritter.
While utter secrecy was observed, :,
It is believed the neutrals who are
interested in the present movement
comprise the same diplomats, who
within a week after relations with
Germany were broken began a series
of informal Exchanges" among them
selves, looking to patching up the
German-American differences.
This number included the most
prominent Central and South Ameri-
can diplomats, ENJOYS from several
Scandinavian countries and DR.. Paul
Ritter, the Swiss minister, now rep
resenting Germany in this country.
Secretary Lansing authorized the
statement that he had not received
any such information.
The state department is displeased
with the mediation idea at this stage.
1t says that the propaganda with Ger
many behind the suggestion is i'm.
possible at this particular time as
matters have gone far past the point
of mediation.

LONDON, March ga declaration
of war by Germany against America
within the next few days would not
surprise British officials. From var
ious meagre bits of news ffltertng out
Of Germany today, such step was In
dicatsd. One report via Amsterdam
had 1t that German officials had
warned American newspapermen In
Berlin that a state Of war was ex-
pected within forty-eight hours.
In the viewpoint Of many officials
the present week may be the turning
point of the war. America has appar-
entity definitely cast the die. against
Germany. The Teutonic retreat on
the western front Is now reaching
the new "Hindenburg line" Persist
ent reports continue Of, violent riot
ing in Germany. which may vet be re-
vealed as definite movement by the
German people against militaristic op-
preston. Meanwhile Russia Is
strengthening toward maximum ef-
fort.
London received news OF President
Wilson's call for an extraordinary SEES
sion Of congress without undue emo
ton. It had been long expected.
Press and public alike believed 1t was
the response to the overt act by war.
The Daily Telegraph regarded the
presidents action as "the turning
point in the worlds history"
"Those in Germany who made up
their minds that nothing was to be
feared from American Intervention
are likely to be rudely deceived IN
short time.
Germany indeed, should bitterly
curse the day when the puerile piece
of treachery on the Mexican-Japanese
plot was hatched in some typical Prus-
sian BRAIN"
