MAKE GOOD
Or RESIGN,
ORDER
Andrews Retained Senators
Men Only on Condition That
They Prove Efficient

Division prohibition chiefs be-
gan marshalling their forces to-
day for the greatest dry crusade
in history under direct orders
from the Treasury to either mop
up their district or resign.
Wholesale house cleanings are
in order from today until October
Is when everybody in the service
under the new district administra
tors will be automatically dis
missed. Efficient veterans who
will be reappointed and able new
Corners will form the nucleus of
the dry army.
Veteran Agents To Go
Although the district chiefs will
not formally take office until Sep.
TENDER 1, many of them. already
heading State units. are passing
around the word that a new order
had arrived IN prohibition enforce.
ment, advising many veteran
agents to look for new jobs.
Efficiency is to be the keynote
of the greatest fight to make pro.
hibition a reality, according to Gen.
eTal L. C.. Andrews. and the new
chiefs, armed with authority to nav
their 1ieu1enants more than was
formerly allotted, were advised to
build up an organization capable
of matching brains with the boot
leg Industry.
A survey of the twenty-four
appointments reveals that the
majority are holdovers from the
previous regime.
Submitted To Senators
General Andrews made his big.
gest fight on the issue of politics
in the enforcement of prohibition
He was forced to finally submit
to influential Senators who demand.
ed that men OF their choice be
selected.
Treasury officials, however, were
inclined today to regard Andrews
as the master of the situation, he
having carried the majority of his
points over widespread protests
from politicians.
With the administration solidly
behind him on the need for enforc-
ing the dry law, Andrews, although
finally accepting the recommended
tons of a large number of Sena-
tors, and appointing their men, did
so only on condition that they
proved to be efficient.
Developments of the next few
months were expected today to wit
ness still further silake-ups in dry
circles, with the near certainty that
many OF the present division chiefs
would be told to resign should they
fail to dry up their territories.
