Premiers and President Vii son Considering Late Ad-
 vices From Russia.

Paris, March 2G G- By The Associated PTeSS) - President Wilson and Premiers Clcmcn- ceau and Orlando win resume at the Paris White House" to- day their series of conferences which is expected to continue until the most important ques- tiOns which have heen delaying the work of the Peace Confer ence are cleaned uT. The diff ferences of opinion which have developed since tho return of Mir. Wilson to Paris are being considered fully and frankly and a determined effort is being made in the interest of an early peace to reach an agreement on broad lines.
 The President and the premiers held their first gathering Tuesday, begin ming at Il o'clock in the morning and continuing into the evening. This ssuper-councll, it is expected, will smooth over many of the difficulties facing the Supreme Council.
 The session yesterday afternoon was held at the French war office. Late in the afternoon Marshal FOch and Major General Thwaites, representing the British staff in the place of Cen eral Wilson, were called in. The pre- nders and the President considered edvices just received about the mil ttary situation in Russia
 In the absence of official com muniques. the public has learned IU- tie about the meetings of the premiers and the President, but there is req son to believe that reparation for war damages was the first problem they sought to solve. All the data on the British French and American positions on this question was before them at the first meeting Tuesday. 1T is understood that the data, showed agreement on virtually all features except the total amount which the experts were unable to agree upCn- Even the textual draft of the repara- ton articles of the Peace Treaty are ready with a blank space waiting for the insertion of the amount,
 After settling the repsrauons ques-
  will consider the remaining main ob- staose-the FrancosG German frontier along the Rhine. With these ques- tions determined. the American dele gation believes that a prompt con clusion of the Peace Treaty can be accomplished.
 Conclusion of the treaty by the end of the present week is doubted, oW- ing to the extensive amount of draft ing work after the main questions are settled in principle. The draft CTS ars steadily at work while the supee-ca21acu is in session. and each step OF progress is followed imme- dia1eiy by the completion of the aTti- cles Of the treaty.
 The same process is being carried with the draft of the covenant of the League of Nations. which in addi- ton to being amended. will be written so as to combine clearness with the dignity of notable state doc uments.
 No details of the progress were given.
 In some quarters it was assumed that the American delegates were op- tirraistic over the important amend msnts to the League of Nations con- stitution agreed upon yesterday, in cluding one specifically to exempt do- rnestic questions from the Jurisdiction of the League and over the apparent certainty that the associated powers will accept President Wilson's provis- ion designed to preserve the Monroe Doctrine.
