That Gen. Andrews, who has threat
ened to resign. intends to remain in
office until the end of the next ses-
sion of Congress at least now is indi-
Gated by persons close to the Presi-
dent.
He planned to quit in September
when Congress failed to enact the ad-
ditional legislation which he consid.
ers necessary to enforcement The
general has been assured that the ad.
ministration has the highest conf
dence in him. and that he may ex-
pect help in having the measures
which the session failed to pass ap-
proved next Winter. Chief of these is
the bill reorganizing the prohibition
unit so the head of il VII not be subor-
dinate to the commissioner of internal
revenue.
There already is an agreement be
tween the United States and Canada
| relative to prohibition enforcement.
In fact. it was the first of the series
which Gen. Andrews reached with
foreign officials but it now is neces.
sary to supplement it in line with
the agreement Just concluded in
Great Britain, and the State Depart
| ment. under orders from the Presi.
dent to do everything possible to
bring about enforcement, will assist
Gen. Andrews in every way.

SHEFFIELD TO KEEP
MEXICO CITY POST
Kellogg Denies Reports of En-
voy's Disagreement With
State Department.
RY j. RI SSELL YOUNG,
staff Cnrres snondent of The Star.

WHITE, PINE CAMP. \. Y. August
19.-The re is no foundation for news
paper reports emanating from Mexico
to the effect that James r. Sheffield
American Ambassador to Mexico, :
going to resign. The authority fo'
this contradiction is Secretary of state
Kellogg, who is a guest at White Pine
Camp.
When the question of Mr.. Sheffield $
resignation was referred to the Sec
retary this morning, While he was
with the President at the executive
office at Paul Smiths. he answered by
saving that he has reason to know
that the Ambassador is not even con
temrlating retiring from the dlplo-
matte service He added that there IS
no truth in newspaper reports tha'
there has been any disagreement be
tween the state Department and Am
bassador Sheffield. He went on t"
say that the department expects Mr..
Sheffield to return to his post in Mex
leo City Immediately after the comple.
ton of his vacation in the United
States.

While on the subject of false state
ments about RESERVATIONS OF officials lf
the diplomatic service, Secretary lAel
logg deplored the practice of publish
inc rllmorS of such a nature where
here is no foundation for them anc
without making some effort to learn
the truth He pointed out that such
printed reports hurt the diplomatic
service inasmuch as these reports are
circulated abroad and are confusing tt
authorities in foreign capitals. 1t Is
natural to expect embarrassing con
sequences, Mr.. Kellogg said,
These erratic reports about reslg
nations of officials of the State DE
partment and officers in the diplomatic
service not only hurt the individual II
question: but they iniure the entire
service and result in all sorts of EN-
barraSSmrnt. Secretary kellogg con

With the annual budget pairing pro-
cess virtually half completed. the Dis
trict commissioners met with mem
bers of the Board of Education and
school authorities this afternoon to
lop off few additional items from the
school estimates for the next fiscal

The original school budget. calling
for appropriations in excess of S16,-
900 900. was cut to S13,500. 900 before
the commissioners transmitted the

tatively today that this figure will be
shaved down to slightly less than

next fiscal year. ;the plans of the
school officials 10 acquire school sites
in advance of their need are expected
to suffer more severely. as it is the

ing eliminated principally. The Com

item is being considered solely on its
merits, and the cuts are being made
