THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.
He Will Be Deliberate fin Making
 Changes in Of1cial Positions.

Changes in Omcial Positions. Washington Special to New York Even-
 The President hasn't let it be known whether he has any general policy of making new appointm ents to office. or whether he will retain in service the bulk of the Roosevelt hold-overs. Sec retary Knox has let 1t be definitely un- derstood that the administration will the diplomatic service. Without defi- nite knowledge to go upon there seems to be feeling in Washington that there will be a good many changes in the list of ambassadors and of minis ters to the better class missions.
 Dr. David Jayne Hill. Ambassador to Berlin, will probably remain where he Is, but changes are looked for at the other European posts. It is the common expectation that Robert Ba- con. the retiring Secretary of State, will Oscar s. Straus, who has been Secre- tary of Commerce and Labor, accord ing to widely published reports. will succeed Mir OBrien as Ambassador at Tohio.
 Inquirers at the White House have been told that President Taft probably would not announce any more appoint ments until March IS, when Congress meets in extraordinary session and the names are sent to the Senate for con- frmation. No long lists of nomina- probably Mir. Taft will choose to move slowly and send in the names of new oficeholders in small patches, and after a careful examination of each case where he Is urged to make a change.
