PEACE TALK IN SECRET Diplomats at the National Capital hard at Work WILSON WRITES MESSAGE Given Fledges of Hearty Support by Men of All Parties—German Ships Set Free by War President Wilson WASHINGTON began Thursday the writing of his message to the war congress that is to assemble April 2. and senators of all party faiths wired Congressmen him pledges of support. Sven the filibusters whom the president called "a little group of wolful men," have responded to the demands for aggressive action. Meanwhile, reports of increasingly serious internal conditions in Germany have attracted the official attention. Veiling their movements in secrecy, neutral diplomats have started peace talk. It is believed they are the South American and Scandinavian diplomats. It was learned officially that scores of German merchantmen now in American harbors would be free to depart if war were declared. Ships would have nine months leave following a declaration of war. The state department has squelched suggestions of neutral mediation between America and Germany. This will continue to be the administration's attitude until the state is clean.
