 Many Questions

PARIS, March (Havas. )-Presi- dent Wilson and Premiers Orlando, Lloyd George and Clemenceau confer red at the war office at o'clock this afternoon. The meeting lasted an hour and a half
 There also was a meeting this morn ins.
 The president and the premiers are to meet daily to solve important ques- tions which will lead to a rapid conclu- sion of the peace treaty. In American and British circles the belief is ex- pressed that these conferences will have the desired result. Agreement points surrounding reparation for war damages, the amount of which the su- preme council win fix as the indem- nity Germany shall pay.
 It is expected that the conferees probably will examine into the revolu- ton in Hungary and reports relating to disorder in southeast Europe and then will determine the problem em- braced in the Franco-German frontier, which it is desired to bring to a quick conclusion. Nevertheless important drafting work will remain to be ac- complished after the settlement of the principal questions.
 The drafting of the articles of the pact of the league of nations is pro ceeding along parallel lines as the amended Dact will necessitate the elaboration of a new text
