VIEWS EXCHANGED
Dx Associated Press

paris January 14.--(9:17 D. m.)-The conference of President Wilson with Premier Lloyd George. Andrew Bonar Law and A. J. Balfour this afternoon gave opportunity for 8 most satislac- tory exchange of views on the sup- iects cording up for settlement at to- morrcw's session of the supreme war council The hope is expressed that this will result in giving greater speed to the work of both the supreme war council and the interallied peace conference.
 It is expected that the sittings or she war council will occupy the entire day. One of the questions to be discussed is the official language to be used dur ing the sessions. It appears also Una the question of representation has not been entirely solved. and this matter will come up for further discussion
 If is said tonight that the supposi- ton that the French language aad been decided upon as the only tongue to he used in the conference Is at least premature.
 The opening session of Parliament and the cabinet meeting today took up the attention of Premier Clemenceau and his coIlaborators, so that little or- portunity was afforded for further conference with the French statesmen before tonorrow's meeting. It is not thought that there will be any diffi- culty in settling the questions of Ian g,iauge procedure and representation, though. in view of the number of na- tions represented and their varying interests, the question of representa- tion may delevop somewhat lengthy discussion.
