The trouble arises over the
fact that a sewer on 18th street

To rearrange the sewage sys-

built from 18th street under the

The council was informed to-
day that Assistant Surgeon Gem

next Thursday to demand a
change in the system.
Commissioner Woods told the
council the necessary sewer tun-

BERNST0RFF SEES light

It begins to look as if maybe one group of our n.y.
phenated Americans had saved this country from
war with Germany.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, is
sending personal emissary to Berlin to inform the
kaser's government of the true state of public feel
ing in the United States.
The ambassador apparently is using his utmost en-
deavor TO prevent the breaking off of relations.
A certain naughty air that used to emanate from
the German embassy has disappeared.
Frankly, it would look as if Won Bernstorff had
seen great light. a.
During the first months of the war 1T was natural
that the American of German descent should show
his enthusiasm for the kaisers cause, just as the
Canadian or Frenchman or English American should
