BERLIN NST:RED Rhine Valley First Subject Un der Discussion at Toddy s Conference-No Solution Yet Reported of Adriatic Issue ".; PARIS. March 27. President Wil son nnil Premiers Clemencenu. IJovd George and Orlnndo resumed their conference at the Paris , "White House", at 11 o'clock this morning, when it was understood the ouestion of boundaries : was taken up. the Rhine vallcv being the first subject under discussion. The conferees dis posed of the ouestion of indemnities yesterday. ' PARIS, Mar. 27. (By Associated Press.) President Wilson's ; study was again the center of intense Inter, est today as he, with the premiers of Great Britain, France and Italy, re sumed the effort to settle the ques tions standing in the way of peace. No event of the peace conference has excited such interest and discus sion as this action of the president and the premiers in' taking affairs into their own hands, and while crit icism and sarcasm are yet in evidence in some quarters, including ' the French chamber of deputies, still the prevailing view In conference circles is that the time had arrived for adop tion of a strong policy assuring early and definite results. Previous to the meeting Premier Orlando spent an hour with Colonel E. M. House, talking over the ques- , Hon of the Adriatic which with that ot reparations and the Rhine frontier are the three vital Issues obstructing progress. The premier then proceed ed to the Paris "White House" where Premiers Lloyd George and Clemen ceau were already with the president. Meetings Continuous The meetings, beginning at 11 o'clock In the morning, were virtual ly continuous thruout the day, the League ot Nations commission can celling Its afternoon meeting sA as to permit President Wilson to give his undivided attention to the conference with the premiers. The question of indemnity was again the main stum bling block. Premier Clemenceau had not brought all his figures with him yes terday and wished more time. Today he was fully, equipped. Premier Lloyd George had called Edwin Sam uel Montagu, secretary for India, and former financial secrotary ot the treasury, to Paris from London, and Premier Clemenceau had consulted Louis Loucheur, the French minister of reconstruction, in addition to the regular experts. All these financial chiefs agreed In the main with the views formulated by the American delegates concern ing Germany's resources and ability to pay, but it still remained for the premiers to take a final decision on tho total ot the indemnities. Presi dent Wilson incidentally expressod himself as much gratified at tho showing made by tho American fi nancial exports alongside tho leading financial authorities ot Franco and England. Rhino Question Discussed The Rhino -frontier question may como up today and President Wilson has outlined a plan which ho hopes may beconio tho basis of an ugree- ment. ' : . Tho Adriatic issue is , tho most stubborn question remaining, . aud with no indication ot a compromise upon it.

These latter reports show the Serbs working effectively' and peace fully while the Italian admiral Ui re ported to be arresting a large number of Jugo-Slavs. : When the Americana intervened, the Italian reply-; the re ports state, was that the United States was not a party to the secret treaty ot London and, therefore, hail no Btatus in tho controvery. . Such conditions as these, it Is pointed out, are seriously hampering tho solution of the Adriatic question.

' The room, is rather ornately decorated and a number of paintings by old masters hang on the walls. ' Amid thsse s-jr-, roundings tho discussion Is proceed ing In a most unconventional man ner. There Is no green table, there are no stenographers; no speeches. The avoidance of speeches is, proving the greatest help to progress, as the long discourses In the council of ten often took up most of the time of that body. . The absence of stenog raphers leaves the discussion untram. meled by records and penults of the . freest exchange of-views..:-- After the lengthy session with tha premiers, the president went to the Hotel deCrillon at 10:30 o'clock to night for the League of Nations com mission, session, when the remaining articles and amendments were con sidered. 1 -:-- , , Complete Covenant PARIS, Mjirch 27.
