Charles Keller, Corps of Engle neers, recently resigned as Engineer Commissioner of the District, who was succeeded in that ofice by Maj. J. Franklin Bell, Corps of Engine has granted leave by the War Department untjl August 15. That ac- tion Is construed by his military as- sociates here to indicate efther that he has not definitely concluded to go on the retired list of the Army and accept the offer of a large private engineering corporation in Chicago to superintend a big water power development job in California, or that he merely has deferred such Pre ':u;lx“o:é:vl'ar OF absnee o ""lBLAMES FATHER-IN-LAW had ‘been previously ranted two months' léeave of absenca Y District Comissioners, which pired from the District govs ernment June 15, H ent most of that period in .

Under the laws governing the Army, it is stated at the War Department, no officer on the active list can accept private em- ployment and be excused from purely military duty unless directly au- thorized to do so by special leginla- tion. It is confidently predicted that Col.” Keller's future status in the Army will be settled within the next few weeks. —— A canoe Is a boat that turns over ‘when you change seats.
