GOETHALS AGAIN QUITS
 JOB AS GOVERNOR

WASHINGTON, June 7.- Colonel Goethals has renewed his resignation as governor of the canal zone and ex- presses the belief that all danger of future slides has been eliminated. A rumor has been current that he sug- gested the placing of a civilian in the position as his successor but more re- liable information is to the effect that he has recommended a colonel who was his assistant in the engineering work at the canal. It is believed that nothing now remains in the way of accepting the resignation of Goethals although his retirement will be re- ceived with regret in official as well as in private circles.

 "Any movement booming Justice Hughes for the nomination is strictly without his authority. It is against his express wish" During the last year Justice Hughes has made almost identical disclaimers.

 fight on Greek territory which first invaded by the allies. if necessary All Greek forces have withdrawn from the positions occupied by the Bulgarians.
