nied-Gen. Mills May Retire From

a report has been in circulation to
the effect that Sr. Don Fernando Bel
tran Puga, member for Mexico on

in his profession of engineering.
At Sr. Puga's office at 304 Caples
building it was said today that Sr.
Puga is sti1 in the city and that he
has not resigned
The report about Gen. Mills came
from reliable source in Washington,
but so far nothing has been given out
by the state department or by the gen
eral himself Some time ago Wilbur Keb-
linger, secretary to the American section
of the commission, was replaced by
another man and it may be that Gen.
Mills is dissatisfied with the new ar
rangements that have been made, as
Mr.. keblinger was his very efficient
assistant Gen. Mills has several times
indicated his desire to be relieved from
the labOrS entailed upon him as a com
missioner. He is 70 years old and still
a hearty, active man, but he feels that
he has some real rest coming while
