many seems to feel that peace ia
nearer than at any other time..
' The feeling of depression which
had beeti growing In every part of
the country at tho continued disor

Utat Iho concrete results finally were
at hand after much waiting. Peace

in .many, sections of Germany there

In Nick of Tlmo i
Arrival at German ports of . the

of the approaching exhaustion of food

dally but their earlier sources of sdp

The first feeling of the average
German when he learned of the arri
val of the. food ships, as tho corres
pondent found thru conversations
with a large number of workmen and
members of the middle class, was one
of astonishment at the appearance of

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.

has outlined a plan which ho hopes

ported to be arresting a large number

intervened, the Italian reply-; the re

States was not a party to the secret

conditions as these, it Is pointed out,
