ANOTHER GERMAN
 TO QUIT

GENEVA, March 17.-Perslstent rumoro developed here today on ae- count Of confidential advices from Berlin, that Chancellor von Bethman- Hollweg will follow Admiral Tlrpiszl former minister of marine, and pre- sent his resignation to the Kaiser.
 The announcement made at Berlin yesterday that Admiral Tirpltz had not lefs his official duties on account or illness but had resigned, created the greatest comment throughout Germany. Ills retirement by reals- nation was even more shocking than his alleged recalling of the German fleet to the Kiel.
 lt Is further stated that the Chan cellor has not been at an pleased with either the German fleet nor the pres ent struggle around Verdun. His pol- ieles are seemingly very much differ ent from Kaiser Wilheim's. None Of the German officials here will com ment on tho chaneellors retirement.
