Conference Between Emperor Charles and Kaiser Shapes Austrian Policy
Washington march 29 reports from London indicate a looming conference between Emperor Charles of Austria and Emperor Wilhelm to decide Austria's future policy toward the United States.

President Wilson continues talks with Col Edward M House and congressional leaders, with House expected to organize for a joint session address. Navy secretary Daniels heads to Annapolis to award diplomas to the senior Naval Academy class, adding officers to meet defense needs. London reports Central Powers may pursue a fresh peace move, with Charles and Count Berthmann-Hollweg meeting Berlin to discuss peace proposals.
