A man, He you please mens Germanys well-known cleverness has worked out a grand plan that causes her to look forward to the future with confidence. She hopes to achieve at the Peace Conference what four years of the sword have not been able to get for her. Secrecy being essential, the whole scheme with typical Teuton finesse is loudly trumpeted through the German press and proclaimed from the rostrum, so that. if we are not warned at least it is not their fault.

It seems as' usual that Germany is staking her all on one throw of the dice and this time the little game is to cause dissension among the Allies at the Peace Table and particularly between America and Britain. 1 MENS DOMET PAJAMAS 2.76 with silk frogs; In THE LITERARY DIGEST this week December 7th there is a very striking article consisting of translations from the German press showing how Germany hopes to gain big advantages when America and the Entente start to squabble among themselves.

The eyes and hopes of the entire world are to-day centered upon Paris, whither the delegates of the various natiohs are journeying to the Peace Conference which is to remold Europe and decide, perhaps for centuries to come, the destinies of our planet. The news that comes forth to the waiting millions from the historic halls of Versailles will be in many ways the most important ever published in its far-reaching effect upon humanity at large.

Camp Devens is going to care for these boys right. They are not to have any work to do, no guards nor fatigue; just rest. Hut 25 has been turned over to them for their use. Funds to provide little extra delicacies have been furnished and from now on these men are going to have it mighty pleasant. Tomorrow they will be moved from the 30th Company barracks to those formerly occupied by the 41st Company.

This is done to have them near the base hospital. More men from overseas are expected daily, with a large number when transports arrive in Boston from France. Maj J. A. Haggerty, himself an overseas veteran, is in command of the returned r.ien.

It was a rather touching scene at the entraining point this afternoon when the 42d Infantry left Camp Devens for Camp Upton. The first section, about 500 men, left their barracks just before 2 oclock and. escorted by a band and men from the other- regiments making up the Plymouth Division, marched to the railroad tracks opposite the Quartermaster tores. There were eight long trains there, and as fast as one filled up and pulled out another moved to the platform. The eight sections pulled out at half-hour intervals, and as each one left Maj Gen McCain stood and watched, saluting the dozens of men who gave him their last salute through the car windows.

Sorry to See Men Go The General didnt leave the tracks until the last train had pulled out. He looked pretty blue, for It was the first unit to be taken from his division. But from 2 oclock until 5 he stood right there in the biting wind and watched every man going away. Banda played chiery music as each train left and the men who escorted the 42d men to the station cheered as they departed. The seventh section to go will have as their last remembrance of Camp Devens several hundred men standing at present arms, Gen McCain and his personal staff standing rigidly at salute and the strains of The Star Spangled Banner" floating to them through the car windows.

Orders have been received covering applications for discharge of officers of the 12th Division. According to a telegram received today from the Adjutant General of the Army, the number of officers in each grade and arm of service, excepting Regular Army officers, who desire immediate discharge from the service is to be reported by telegraph to Washington bv noon tomorrow. This applies to officers who are not surplus. It is the intention of the War Department to discharge these officers and replace them bv third-class officers from other commands." the order reads. Third-class officers are those who have made application to remain in the Regular Army.

Status of Plymouth Division The wording of this telegram causes many officers here to believe that the Plymouth Division is to be maintained as a regular Army Division for at least some time to come. The number of officers in the division who have made application for their discharge Is not known here tonight. Today 1612 men were discharged from the Depot Brigade. It was the biggest day for the discharging of officers since the demobilization started. Tomorrow night the entire Depot Brigade, w'ith the exception of those men who were to be held as a permanent organization, will have been demobilized.

The first officers to be discharged will go tomorrow. There will be nearly 100 in the first lot. The negroes of the 13th Battalion will be discharged Saturday. Thousands of New Englanders who have been serving in other parts of the country in various capacities are expected here next week for demobilization.

MARCH SAYS NEW ARMY PLAN IS BEING DRAWN UP WASHINGTON, Dec 5 The Army program of SO divisions in Fiance by June 30, 1919, was embarked upon with com-I lete confidence that Germany could and would be defeated during 1919 if the project was carried out, Gen March.

The order was read last night that all discharges have been held up until next Wednesday. This will mean that the Crimson sailors, who have already had three examinations preparatory to d'seharge, will have to go through the whole thing all over again.

Every one of them said he was glad the war was over, although they regretted that they were not permitted to try a few bombing expeditions in Hun territory. They were about ready to cross the Channel when the armistice was declared.

While they were being rounded up on the dock preparatory to their trip to Camp Mills, where they will be interred for 10 days, subject to the watchful of the medical experts, they sang with great gusto Hail.

Brady, with the others of the Equadron, were billeted at the Balisburv Plains airdrome, when word came that the armistice had been signed.

Senator Jones of Washington, Republican, calling upon the State Department for information designed as the basis for legislation to insure preferential treatment for American shipping and commerce. Senator Pittman, in submitting his report explaining the action on the Cummins resolution, said the proposed committee could perform no Constitutional function imposed upon the Senate with relation to treaties and that it would have no legal status in connection with the negotiation or making of the treaty. "Its method of obtaining information, said the report, would in the nature of the circumstances, be vagrant, uncertain and unreliable. The report of such a committee to the Senate would be based chiefly upon hearsay and would constitute but the individual conclusions of the members of the committee and would have little force and affect with the Senate.

Senator Pittman also said that the presence of the committee at Paris might errtbarrass and interfere with President Wilson in the performance of his Constitutional duties in the making of the treaty. S. A. T. G.

Gregory of New York, president of the Export Managers Club of that city, is in Boston for a few days and will be a special guest at a dinner of the sales section of the Boston Round Table Club at the City Club tonight. In an interview yesterday he expressed the belief that New Englands opportunity to enter into the export trade was at hand. "Dont miss the chance. he said. "Have you paused to reflect that the merchant marine situation offers opportunities the like of which have never presented themselves before? Every New England manufacturer, so far as possible, ought to send his own salesmen into foreign countries right now not merely to sell his products.

but to sell his goods on the basis of shipment from Boston. That would do things for the port Of Boston. It would not merely exploit to foreign buyers the advantages of New England products and their ready shipment from Boston, but it would arouse the Government authorities to the possibilities of Boston as a port for export. Moreover, it would induce the Emergency Fleet Corporation to get busy in Boston. "New England has its great chance.

If it passes it may not come again a generation.
