Germans Still Plotting.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Germany is
continuing with subtle persistence
her effort to secure the support on
the United States as special counsel
at the peace table.
BY trying to create the impression
that in the United States Germany
has a lenient friend at court, the
government at Berlin Is seeking tc
start controversies at the peace con
ference between America and the
other democratic nations. There IL
undoubted danger to Americas world
prestige in this effort of the Germans
to isolate America from the allies
Hitherto, world prestige has had lit
tie interest for Americans; but nov

tined to play the prominent part il

WASHINGTON, Nov 14.-The
Rainbow and New England divisions
are believed likely to be back IN
the states by Christmas. With the ex-
ception of the first regular division,
they were the first troops to land IN
France. While priority OF return Will
not entirely follow priority OF original
shipment, these two divisions are like
ly to get back rirst.
The war department, however, has
made no announcement yet as to the
prubable time for any unit and It's
plans are unsettled.
The war plans section of the gener,
al staff is giving SERIOUS attention to
the matter of standing army after
the demobilization and also to the
problem of universal training. These
subjects have been before the section
for long time and probably will be
presented to Secretary Baker soon.
According to Bakers Interpretation
OF the present military status, all en-
listments will close with the end OF
the war emergency, unless congress-
acts before that time. Hence 1t IS be-
lieved that the war plans sections de
cisions will be embodied IN legislation
for congress soon.
| Congress will determine in the last
analysis how great standing army
the United States should have ana
whether universal or military training
should be followed now that the war
is ended. The regular army establish
ment prior to the war amounted 10
about 100000 officers and men.
| War department officials believe
universal military training should be
| instituted, but they are doubtful about
the tone OF public opinion and inclined
to the belief that the public will pre-
fer to settle back to the pre-war stat

as Well as Germany ani
Allied Help Is Needed.

MILAN. sept. 2l.-Thc news that,
the late Senator Tnlman suggested
that President Wilson send to Italy a
big American army was received here
with much qualification. II was in

growing interest toward Italy and "A
fuller appreciation of Haly's particu-

Italy's brilliant recovery from the
Caporctta disaster aroused popular

Vet ono must not forget two things.
First, that of all the Allies now fght-

very powerful and efficient foe.
Such being the situation, one can
easily understand the chances OF

support from the Allies But as the
British and French are kept busy on
