 1T. PARIS IN DEADLOCK
Dispute Over Boundaries Is Proving Stumbling Block to Efforts to Complete Treaty
Principle of Self-Determina- ton Is Opposed in Row Over Franco-Hun Frontier

PARIS, April 3.-(By the Associat- ed Press. .)-President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd-George, Clemenceau and Orlando continued their discus sion at President Wilson's residence today. Other peace conference organ izations also met. All the confer ences tended to unrayel the tangled issues still standing in the way of peace.
 The meetings proceeded amid an other wave of apprehension spreading through the conference over lack of any tangible, results after the council of four had 1abored continuously for ten days.
 This was accompanied by we'll founded reports from those close in touch with the council of four show ing that the situation, while not des- perate, was at least serious because of radical differences-on some funda- mentals in the settlement of Ger many's western, the Franco-German and the eastern Polish frontier.

 One of the American experts, who is constantly being consulted on va. rious questions before the council, gives the following glimpse of what is going on behind the scenes.

Wilson Opposes Plan.
 'eThe president is not willing to go that far in creating more Alsace-Lor- raine situations and it is this stand against these claims which is caus- ing the delays until some middle ground is found"
 Concerning separations, it was add ed that there were good prospects for an early agreement. This will not specify the total amount, but will leave it to a commission to work out details of reparation through a period of years. The priority of Belgium and France in the division of the Ger man indemnity also is said to be near ing agreement.
 As a means of finding the middle ground" on the Rhine controversy, the superior council of four created a consulting body consisting of Andre Tardieu, France; Charles H. Haskins, America, and Viscount Morley, British. They labored until 2 o'clock this morning and then called on Col. Edw- ard M. House before seeing the coun- cil. To intimates they were not opti- mistic on the progress that is being made.
 Self-determination Issue
 Another of President Wilson's en- tourage said the real issue was wheth- CT President Wilson's principle of self determination was to be upheld. The president, he said, did not regard this as principle which should be applied when favorable to the entente and not applied in all cases alike. Just now
