The jjommission on the Leagife of Nations will hold a plenary session late tonight and it is expected that the members will vote on the 4 amendments oil the Monroe Doctrine and racial discrimi nation offered by the Ameri cans and Japanese, respect ively. (By th Associated Preti.) Paris, April 7. The peace conference liai apparently readied the turning point between definite and speedy re suits and further prolonged delay. The Indications today were toward action, but new doubti began to appear ai to whether the desired results could be ae eompliahed within a fortnight, as Pre mier Lloyd George and Col. House have predicted. . - The council of four was to have met this morning at tho "White House" where the President is atill confined to bed. It developed, however, that Pre mier Lloyd George has been affected in a similar manner a the Presdcnt which has confined him also to his bed. A morning session of the, council was therefore impossible. It was then determined to have the council meet at Mr. Lloyd Oeorge's residence, eo as to be near him and here tho session began at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon with Premier Clcmen reau, Premier Orlando, Col. House and all tho financial experts present. Se paration was again the chief isrue and although ecttled-iu the main principle a number of essential details still re mained open. One of tho American experts summed nil t lie situation as he entered the meeting sayiHg: 'The chances are favorable to an agreement, but we have not agreed yet." What's Considered "Settled." The principles which seemed to be fettled are that reparation and restora tion rhnll be in accordance with the President's seventh and eighth points and the allies' reply to the President's note, and also that the actual damage and destruction shall be, the main basis for estimating the damages and that the commission shall formulate categor ies or classes of these damages. Pay ment is to lie spread over a period of years, without a specific total being fixed and the initial payments probably will be required within the first two years. At the close of the council's session It was stated that ne agreement had " been reached on reparations or other subjects and that the discussion on reparations will be resumed tomorrow with President Wilson probably pres ent. Extreme Tension. Kxtreme tension was evident as re sWt of today's discussions and it is be lieved throughout the conference that another critical stage has been reached. One of the most responsible authorities tsocL".ted with President Wilson said ..he would Dot be surprised if American participation was brought to an early .lose if the delays over details were tarried much further. Differences Blight But Threatening. The differences still remaining on the subjects of frontiers and reparations ire comparatively light, he added, and vet these slight differences are so per sistently maintained as to threaten to rrcate prolonged delays, which the President and American delegation are .not willing to accept. Wilson Is Firm. The President waa described H,y one who (aw him during the day as stand Ing firm in his determination to make no further concessions, lie insists that the principles which were definitely SKreed upon at the time of the armis tice are at stake. There la little doubt that the President's stand bad been made known . to the other members ef the council but since his illness he has not personally conferred wth any of Ihera, excepting ink House. - .; The existing tension led to many re pert of decisive action which the American delegation was said to be sbont to take.

But it was the convoying scheme, worked out to a fine, detail, the officer ' asserted, which made possible the trans portation and supplying of the great ' American force. Germany was winning the war, the. Bear Admiral stated, when he arrive.: in England the day after the United States became a belligerent Teuton in terference with allied shipping, he added, waa a serious prpblem, solved only when conferences of the British, American and allied commands worked out and put into practice the system of protecting vital ships.

President Wilson's orders that the United titates transport George Washington proceed immediate ly to a French port have aroused much comment , hero and are even construed by some officials as preliminary to a de termined move to force an agreement at an early date by the conference. As is usual in such cases, various rumors were soon in circulation, and before night one report was current that the President had delivered an ultima rum to the vffect that he would with draw from the conference unless an agreement wa reached within forty eight hours. It is confidently asserted "by those close to the President thnt he did net contemplate any such action, but the aama authorities have no hesi tation in declaring that the President has made his position plain on the questions at isstin, nnd it is believed his determination to adhere to tnis position is fixed.
