THINK KNOX MAY RESIGN
Friction Between the State and War
Department May Cause secre-
tary to Retire.

Washington, ID. C.-The happenings
in Mexico brought out fresh rumors
that friction exists between the war
department and the state department
over the handling of affairs connected
with the Mexican situation.
A report also was persistent that
Secretary Knox's resignation in the
near future would not cause great sur
prise. No confirmation was obtain
able. A suggestion that Secretary
Knox might retire from the state
portfolio was current ever before the
Mexican situation arose.
