Paris, March 24.-President Will
son met Premier Clemenceau, Lloyd
George and Orlando at the foreign Of
| flee at 3 o'clock this afternoon for an
! hours conference before the assem-
| bling of the supreme council.
Both the conference and the SUI
| preme war council were held amid n
| feeling of concern over the reVou-
! tionary development in eastern Eu-
! rope and the lack of definite results
thus far reached in the Paris confer
ence in stablizing European condi-
| tions.
President Wilson is known to re-
gard the situation as serious and as
calling for energetic action toward
Fastening the work of the conference
to completion and there was reason
to believe that this would be one Of
the main subjects before both meet
ings, rather than the formal ques-
tons on the program.
The results of the deliberations of
the supreme council today are not
likely to be stated in the official com
muniques, and probably will take
form in their effect on the confer
ence work, particularly with respect
to reparations, frontiers and the
league of nations.
The advocates of the league of ma
tions maintain that it is in no way
/ retarding the progress of the peace
treaty, as the league meetings are
held at night and are nearing a con-
, clusion whereas the obstacles to the
treaty--are questions of principle, on
which the premiers thus far have
been unable 10 secure an agreement
Polish Question Discussed.
The war council again today dealt
with Poland, which question is close
! to settlement. 1t is understood that
the recommendations of the Cambon
committee for a Polish corridor
across East Prussia to the Baltic will
prevail, despite the objections raised
by Premier Lloyd George The Pol
ish divisions at present in France
will probably proceed to the Baltic
and may land at Koenigsberg. in
stead of Danzig, in order to avoid a
clash with the Germans over Danzic
The league of nations commission
resumed its sessions at $50 O'Clock
tonight, President Wilson presiding.
The commission is expected to sit un-
til midnight 1t was not believed that
the large nunber of amendments
would be completed and revision of
the covenant concluded without an
other meeting.
The amendments have been divided
into three classes: First those by neu-
trails; second, those by an American
senator; those, framed by President
Wilson, Colonel House and Lord Rob-
ert Cecil The last named group in
cludes all points which the trainers
of the instrument believe will clarity
its meaning and satisfy objections in
all quarters.
Study Lodges Speech.
The text of the speeches of Senators
Lodge and Knox and the main points
of the recent debate between Senator
Lodge and DR.. Lowell are being gone
over in shaping these changes.
According to reports, President Will
sons view is that the two main obsta-
cles to an early conclusion of peace
are Preparations for war damages and
the German Rhine frontier.
The beliefe was expressed by those
conversant with the presidents view
that this situation will be clearly and
definitely presented to the premiers
and If need be, a suggestion will be
made that they remain continuously
together until these two difficulties
are met and overcome. The expecta-
ton also was advanced that any
doubts still remaining on the question
whether the league of nations would
or would not go into the peace treaty
would be settled in some definite
understanding among the premiers
who are the controlling influence of
the conference.
