LonnsoI PRESIDElNTS COOLIDG(E ACCEPJ RESIGNATION . AT ONCE ENO XPLANATION GIVEN TS Leaving Of Post Comes At Critical Period In United States And Mexico Relations (By Associated Press) RAPID CITY, S. D., July 9.-The resignation of James Y. Sheffield as ambassador to Mexico was accepted today by President CoColidge shortly atter it had been tendered. The post will remain for the time being in the hands of the charge de affaires as Mr. Coolidge has not de- cided when the resignation shall be- come effective. He does not antici- pate that Mr. Sheffield will return to his post after he makes a contemplat- ed six-weeks tour of Europe. H. F. Arthur Schoenfeld, the charge, is regarded very highly by the President. While it is the usual prac- tice of Mr. Coolidge to fill vacancies quickly, he does not want any con- clusions' drawn because of the failure to make an immediate appointment to this country, where relations have been troubled for some time. The President was said at the ex- ecutive offices today to be unaware of any new developments in the con- troversy over the Mexican oil and land laws, but there were indications that Mr. Sheffield is concerned over recent steps by Mexico in the oil situa- tion. Mr. Sheffield offered no explanation for his retirement, except to indicate tht twas not -benase--of health or lack of support by the administration. In his presence, Everett Sanders, sec- retary to the President, explained that the President and the ambassador reached an agreement last summer that if the ambassador would consent to return to his post he would be relieved this year. Several names have been suggested to the President as successors to Mr. Sheffield, including T. E. Campbell, former governor of Arizona; Charles Beecher Warren pf Detroit; John Gar- rett of Baltimore; and Silas Strawn of Chicago; and he expects to make a choice within the time which would ordinarily be consumed by the am- bassador in leave of absence. Mr. Sheffield was named ambassador to Mexico in the fall of 1924, shortly after Mr. Warren aid John Payne had concluded negotiations with that country on the basis of which rela- tions were resumed between it and the tnlted States. The oil and land laws coiftroversy, has been bubbling almozt ever since and there are indications here that a critical stage in this situation is gap'roaching. However, Mr. Coolidge intends . to maintain silence until he has con- ferred with the state department. TEXAS TO ENLARGE MEN'S DORMITORY! ..AUSTIN, Texas, July 8.-Proposed changes in the dormitories for men at the University of Texas will provide rooms for approximately 60 more stu- dents during the coming year, accord- ing to V. I. Moore, dean of men at the University. With the increased capacity the dormitories will accommodate 160 students, said Dean Moore. Besides the additional rooms, a new apartment is being built fo rthe student manager nd family, and a reception room is fuimished in order that the students mayetertain visitors. '\he gymna-. sium is 'o being enlarged and made full sixed th some additional gym- nasium equipinnt being added. The men's ronims when completed will each be fitted 1ith hot and cold water, steam heat and the necessary linens, according to Dean Noore. Dur- ing the summer session of tht Univer- sity there are about 50 men wbj room ~-i the dormitory. WISCONSIN.-George Little, form- erly of Michigan, is continuing his drive before the legislature for a new "Be real!" is his slogan, and I be- lieve that I have never, met a man who was more himself, more natural, more unaffected, more a man. Wal-J lace Ford is the "Roy Lane" of "Broadway," that romance and trag- edy of a New York night club now playing at the Garrick Theater in De- troit. Mr. Ford is easy to meet and easier to talk to. He has what we blunder- ing fools call personality, and a bad word it is; but he draws one so that while in his presence you also are yourself. And after all such a power is true personality. "Youth," said Mr. Ford, "is the greatest thing in the world." And he mentioned J. M. Barrie's "Courage" which deals with the great battle be- tween youth and age. "Look at Lind- bergh, Jackie Coogan . . . It is youth that always wins because they have the guts." And although I ad- mit that "guts" is an accepted bar- barism no word can replace it. I admired the man for his use of it. Mr. Ford told a story of how a father and son grew up together, and often rode horseback. All of the son's life had been carefuly watched by the father and the union between them was great. One day, when the boy was around seventeen, the two were slowly can- 4---,..,. A'- - - 1 - I- --4-L. MI,- ' 1- I liked his summing up of the star system, which was simply-"An audi- ence views a play now, for the play; not for the actors." Broadway is a splendid example of this for each one of the cast is a finished actor or act- ress and it is this well balanced com- pany that makes the play the success that it is. I was surprised to find that Mr. Ford intends to study law, and holds aspirations to someday become a crim- inal lawyer. "Everyone should know the law, and know it well," he stated, and I can find much truth in those words. "Roy Lane" has been a fre- quent visitor to Detroit criminal trials and has watched those cases which he has attended with the closest interest. "An actor has so much spare time," he explained," that why not use it? Last year I studied dancing, and it was my ability to dance that se- cured me this job in 'Broadway.'" Mr. Ford created Junior in "Pigs," the vehicle which the Rockford Play- ers, of this city, will use week after next. In this play he spent 170 weeks in New York and 33 weeks in Chicago. As my interview drew to a close I harkened back to those opening phrases that he gave me-"Be real!" Certainly a strange motto for an actor!

BRITAIN PRONOUNCES AMERICAN WARSHIPS AS TOOAGGRESSIVE W. C. BRID)EMAN CRITICIZES PROPOSAL OF THE UNITED STATES CRISIS BECOMES ACUTE Present Situation Has Created Bad Impression Which May Lead To Serious Break (By Associated Press) GENEVA, July 8.-The crisis in the Tri-partite Naval conference suddenly became worse tonight. Moving from defense to attack, in explaining the British position, W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the British admiralty, used the words "offensive" and "aggresive" in describing those large-size types of warships and es- pecially cruisers which the Ameri- can delegation has been insisting on the right to maintain as best suited to the national needs of the United States. Mr. Bridgemean, talking to the press, painted a Great Britain which seeks only to protect her security by pos- sessing a certain number of small- size "defensive" warships. While al- luding to the United States he declar- ed that it is impossible to reduce the total tonnage in the various catagories of warships if the maximum tonnage of individual warships is to be push- ed up until they become aggressive types. The first lord's declaration caused a reaction in American circles which he characterized as "unfavorable" at the least but it has created the im- pression generally at Geneva that to the British way of thinking the United States is seeking large size individual warcraft because such waships are off. nsive and even aggressive. 3,700 ENROLLED FOR SUMMER WORK Enrollment for the Summer session has passed the 3,700 mark, it was an- nounced yesterday by Dean Edward H. Kraus, head of the Summer session. The total number 3,725, including the biological station, with 2,272 men anl 1,453 women. The enrollment for this summer shows an increase over that of last year by 403 students. This increase is shown by the larger enrollment in the graduate and educational schools; while the literary and en' gineering colleges show a slight de- crease in comparison with previous years. Dean Kraus stated, that there were more school teachers here this summer in proportion than there has been for several years. The total enrollment for the respec- tive schools and colleges is as follows: Literary college, 1,223; College of En- gineering and Architecture, 349; Med- ical college, 262; Law school, 159; Pharmacy school, 34; School of Busi- ness Administration, 22; Educational school, 645; Graduate school, 1,031. There are still some students regis-. tering and it is thought that the total enrollment will be near the 3,800 mark before the session ends. The figures given above do not include the Health Institutes which are held each week- end. There were 51 people registered for the Institutes. COOLIDGE TO GET INDIAN COGNOMEN (By Associated Press) RAPID CITY, S. D., July 8.-Half of the secret regarding the Indian name to be bestowed upon President Coolidge in Deadwood, S. D., next month, leaked out at the Summer White House today. The President understands that the name has some- thing to do with water, and that it may be Chief Stillwater or something of that nature. Chauncey Yellowrobe and the other Indian chiefs who have met in con- ference and agreed upon Mr. Coolidge's name have been extremely tight- lipped about the matter and repeated- ly cautioned inquirers that the name would be kept secret until the Presi- dent had been inducted into the full Sioux tribe.

TAG DAY TO BE HELD BY RESH AIR CAMPI Project Will Not Be Able In Full Unless New Are Received To Operate Funds ACCOMMODATES 200 BOYSr "Tag Day" for the University Fresh Air Camp will be held Thursday _in an effort to raise funds to continuer operations at the camp. Ten boysr from the honor tent wil be brought into Ann Arbor to solicite funds. Thel goal set to be reached by the selling of tags on this campus is set at $500.1 The camp, which is a welfare pro- ject of the Student Christian associa- tion of the University, is situated on a 170 acre plot 30 miles from AnnI Arbor at Pickney, Michigan. The boyst who visit the camp, in groups of oner hundred each for a period of two weeks at a time, are chosen by the social agencies of Ann Arbor and De-1 troit. At the camp the boys are plac- ed under the guidance of camp officers who attend to their welfare. The camp officers are almost all University men. Theodore Hornberger, '27 Ed., is-the superintendent this year. SoI far this summer the camp has been full to its capacity. Hofner H. Grafton, manager of thel camp; announced yesterday that it, would be impossible for the camp tG continue operations unless adequate funds could be obtained and perhaps the camp would be forced to close for the latter half of the season. Salaries, maintenance and equipment are fixed, he stated, but to cut the budget would force the men in charge to reduce the food item. "We hesitate to do this," Mr. Graton said.

Mr. Gallagher added that he "con- fidently expects" that the libel suit will be "settled out of court." Walter F. Lynch of Chicago, law associate of Mr. Sapiro, has been in Detroit for two weeks in connection with the mat- ter of the -statement credited to Mr. Ford, Gallagher said. NEW YORK, July 8.-Through Ar- thur Brisbane, a stat'ement was made today quoting Henry Ford as saying he had ordered his Dearborn Inde- pendent "to discontinue permanently all articles hostile to the Jewish peo- ple." The statement expresses "great regret" over any injury the articles may have caused. Mr. Bribane's article, which was coyprighted by the New York Ame- rican and sent by that paper to other newspapers, is based on a signed statement, says Mr. Brisbane, the orig- inal of which is in possession of Louis Marshall, lawyer. Mr. Mar- shall, at Saranac Lake, said the origi- nal was in his office safe and a photostatic reproduction would be av- ailable to anyone desiring it. The announcement was made at Mr. Ford's request, said Mr. Brisbane, who quotes Mr. Ford as saying "this state- ment is made on my own initiative and wholly in the interest of right and justice and in accordance with what I regard as my solemn duty as a man and as a citizen." Articles To Be Withdrawn Some of the articles already re- printed in pamphlet form, under the title of "The International Jew," will be withdrawn froni circulation, says Mr. Brisbane, who quotes Mr. Ford as saying that the Dearborn Independ ent in the future will be conducted un- der such auspices that articles re- flecting upon the Jews will never again appear in its columns. William J. Cameron, editor of the Dearborn Independent, and a witness in the $1,000,000 libel suit brought by Aaron Sapiro, Chicago attorney, against the motor manufacturer, at Detroit expressed great surprise at the statement. "It is all news to me," Mr. Cameron said, "and I cannot be- lieve it is true." He added he did not believe the statement was a prelimi- nary move toward settlement of Sa- i piro's suit, based on articles appear- ing in the Dearborn Independent . Mr. Brisbane asserts that on behalf of William Randolph Hearst, publish- er of the American, he offered Mr. Ford $1,000,000 for the Dearborn In- dependent. Refuses To Sell Paper "No, I won't sell it," he quotes Mr. Ford as replying, "but I'm going ' to make it a house organ and I am going to stop absolutely everything that could possibly cause complaint-or hurt the feelings of anybody." Mr. Ford's statement followes: '"In the multitude of my activities it has been impossible for me to de- vote personal attention to their management or to keep informed as to their contents. It has, therefore, inevitably followed that the conduct and policies of those publications had to be delegated to men whom I placed in charge of them and upon whom I relied implicitly."
