The President plans for his depart

The ambassador has suggested that
the United States ought to be willing
to forego the immediate issues arising
out of the submarine operations for the
sake of the greater service which might
be rendered through the proposed me-
dfation
In other words, the German ambas-
sador has dangled before the presi

as a peacemaker through attempting
to mediate the maritime differences be
tween England and Germany.
In view of the close accord between

BELIEVE VOORHEES,
WILL NOT RESIGN
No Action on His Resignation as
City Comptroller Last Night
at Committee Meeting.

The question of a decision upon
the acceptance or rejecting OF the
resignation of William D. voorhees,
as city comptroller, did not arise at
Atne committee meeting of the Board
t9ermen last night. 1t was re-
ported in Democratic circles today
that Mr.. Voorhees, might remain and
there would be no change in the po-
sftion. The aldermen listened to ap-
-peals for pavement extensions last
night and received a complaint con-
corning fumes and noise about the
chemical works at Buckingham ave-
nue. and Mechanic street.
Action on Mr.. Voorhees, resigna-
tton as comptroller will be held in

able decision on the part of Mr..

ing to Alderman-at-large w. Guy

reports concerning Mr.. Voorhees, in

by men in authority that Mr.. Voor-
hees has not rendered his resigna-
ton The latest reports, previous to
that given today, indicated that he
had decided to quit the position in
order to be released from overbur-
dening duties and to save his health.
Requests were made before the al
dermen last night to pave one block
on Catalpa avenue, from the inter-
section of Brighton avenue to Lewis
street, when Brighton avenue is paw
ed with asphalt block; to extend the
proposed pavement on Gordon street,
between Rector and Water streets,
to the water front, and to continue
the First street pavement from Cor
don street to Lewis street. Indica-
tions are that the Catalpa avenue

granted, to complete those paving

the First street proposition. 1t is
held that city funds will hardly per-
