Gen Hazen of the weather bureau is
in very hot water and wants to be in
vestigated. Hazen is man Of good
deal of ability, but is sometimes of a
crank, withal, with remarkable
propensity for hot water. Gen. Sturges
is like him in some respects. He has
been in trouble of somc kind from the
beginning Of the war. Yet neither of
these officers are very bad men. It is
only their cranky ways of doing things
that are offensive. Both have a great
deal Of self assertion, AMI that brings
them into perpetual conflict with some
body.
