Early Action Expected on Va
cancies at Peking, Madrid
and Budapest.

With Congress off his hands and the
executive departments running along on
an even keel, the only task of moment
now confronting the President is the
making of several major diplomatic APP
pointments.
These consist of a Minister to China
to succeed DR.. Jacob Gould Schurman.
elevated TO the Enthusiastically to Ber-
lin; a Minister to Hungary to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Judge Theodore Brentano and the ap-
pointment of a successor to Alexander
Moore whose resignation as Ambas-
Sador to Spain has just been received.
Several less important posts may be in
cluded in the general shift when it takes
place.
Those close to the President think
that he will make these appointments
about the same time and will lose little
time in doing SO.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, who has
been urging the appointment of Will
liam c. Culbertson of Kansas, vice
chairman of the Tariff Commission,
to the China post, conferred with the
President again yesterday. He said aft
erward that he is leaving Washington
and wanted to have some definite un-
derstanding with the President before
he goes, but intimated that he did
not receive anything definite during
this interview.
Moore Anxious to Quit.
Alexander Moore's resignation did
not come as a surprise to those in
official circles here. Thus far the
resignation has not been accepted,
but there are indications that Mr..
Moore's retirement soon may be an
nounced. DIR. Schurman advised the
State Department he would leave
Peking about April 20, and it is felt
here that in view of the political
situation in China the American lega
ton should not be long without a
fully qualified minister in charge.
Mr.. Moore, a Pittsburgh publisher,
recently spent several weeks in this
country and conferred several times
with President Coolidge. He is said
to have expressed a desire to go out
of office March 4. Should a vacancy
actually occur at Madrid it is un-
certain whether the rule of making
promotions within the diplomatic
service itself can be applied in select
ing a new Ambassador.
In addition to the political recon-
mendations for the Peking post,
President Coolidge is giving consid-
Grafton to the name of John Van A.

State, and recognized authority on

TO OUR MILK AND CREAM
PATRONS.

AS the time of the year is drawing
near for Garlic Milk, and owing to
the great difference received from
the city for Garlic Butter, the follow
ing resolutions have been suggested
by the Creamerymen:
When the grass time comes, turn
the Cows put in the morning and
bring them in at noon, or positively
not later then three O'Clock, and not
let them out again until the next
morning, give them a little feed in
the evening. The Cows ought to
stand quiet in the yard at least three
hours before they are MIXED. You
will notice the mornings milk rarely
has any Carrie faint in it. The above
rule should be followed at least to
the middle of June.
We ask you to kindly follow these
suggestions.
