NAHUM Of efficiency was said today

The infusion of new blood is judged
necessary.
Operation OF the civil service rules
will not be allowed to hinder efforts
to bring the administration Of the
government to the highest peak of
service. according to advisers close to
President Harding who believes that
the president is empowered to make
whatever changes in official personnel
terest of the country at large although
if necessary enabling legislation may
be obtained from congress.
h president was represented as
holding the view that under the con-
%stitution the chief executive is charged
with the duty of exercising the beol
judgment in the administration Of the
Office intrusted to him.
Many changes have already taken
place. particularly in the treasury de-
partment, it was said, where complete
craving n printing and the customs
service has already been effected and
where other important shifts are to
be expected soon. Similarly in the
shipping board and other agencies OF
the government, where different ideas
of Office administration are believed
advisable, replacement Of executive
heads is taking place.
In some quarters the view was ad-
vanced that reorganization would pro.
coed regardless of party affiliation.

DELMAR. July 25.-Action on
the part OF three Maryland State
road police in coming over on the
Delaware side Of the town late last
night and displaying their guns in
a threatening manner. came nearer
to causing serious trouble than
anything else that has happened
since the strike Of railroad men was

Mayor Thorington on being notl-
fed at his home that there was
danger OF a riot hurried to the scene
and found a crowd Of probly 500
persons in front Of the station prac-
tically surrounding the Maryland
road officers. The Delmar citizens
resented the Maryland police COM
ing over the line and argued to them
they had no right there and wers
not needed. Why they came over
the line was not explained. When
Mayor Thorington arrived he found
the three Maryland officers on the
Delaware side about 900 feet from
the State line. He ordered their ar
rest unless they returned to their
own State at once and exp;Sined to
them that the Delmar authorities
were fully able TO cope with the sit
