ATE POSTS
BEING SHIFTED
Ambassador to Spain An
nounces Resignation;
Chinese Problem Up
WASHINGTON, March 30. A
prospect of another shift among
major posts in the diplomatic serv
ice developed today when it was
revealed that Alex P. Moore, am
bassador to Spain since 1923, has
laid his resignation before Presi
dent Coolidge. " j -
Thus far the .resignation haa not
been accepted bat there are indica
tions that Mr. Moore's definite re
tirement from the service sobn
may be announced and a successor
appointed. . j .. p
At the same time a probability
developed today that the post of
minister to China made vacant by
the ' promotion of Jacob Gould
Schurman to be ambassador to
Gerznany would be subject to
much, delay. j i
Mr, Moore, a Pittsburgh; pub
lisher, recently spent several
weeks In this country and con
ferred "several times with Presi
dent Coolidge. He is said to have
expressed a desire to s go out of
office March 4. with the ending of
av certain duty to which he was
appointed. The president asked
that he remain in office at least
until a successor, could be chosen.
Should a vacancy actually occur
at Madrid it is uncertain whether
the rule of making; promotions
within the diplomatic service itself
can be applied in selecting a new
ambassador. ; Several names are
before the president Including that
of W. A., Kinsley. Maccomber of
Connecticut who was recommend
ed by the senators from that state.

Annual Meeting Indicates
Exceptional Year Pass

Reports and the election of offi

First Baptist church last night.
The reports showed a marked
growth and increase in every de

the past year. The total gain in
membership for the fiscal year
was 166. while the Bible school
has shown the largest net gain
with, an enrollment of over 500,

about 400 for the year. ,
The Woman's society has had
a very successful year, as also the

Coolidge Withdraws Ban on

Planned ;
WASHINGTON, March 31.
President Coolidge partially re
moved today the ban he imposed
last week on the : employment -of
deficiency appropriations . not in
cluded in budget recommendations
for apyments of national guards
men for attendance at armory
drills authorized by federal law. -
At tha president's; direction
Secretary Weeks and his military
advisers ' took steps at once to
make funds available for a total
of 48, drills for each guard unit
during the current fiscal year. The
original-war department plan up
set by rejection in the budget
bureau of a request for . a de
ficiency allowance i of 11,332,000
to supplement the current appro
priation of $10,200,000; cabled for
52 drills on the average. ' , .
The president's action was
taken after he bad gone over with
Mr. Weeks a carefully prepared
estimate of what the denial of the
deficiency appropriation to the
guard would - mean.' It was dis
closed that because of increase in
personnel In the guard during the
year and the greater Interest fn
their work manifested by unex
