Crashes Against Rock.
It was stated last night by wit
nesses that the canoe carrying
Gsantner and his companion to their
death was speeding through the water
at rate Of twenty-five miles an hour
when 1t struck a rock and capsized.
"As explained to me by men who
saw the drowning, the man was In
one end OF the canoe and the woman
in the other" Mr.. Solomon said
Had the woman been in the rear
with the man, it would have caused
the bow to rise above the water and
there would have been some chance
Of his being able to control it. Keep
Ing IL level with the water as they
did would make it impossible in tho
rushing waters of the rapids"
Hundreds of Washington people, to
escape the sultriness of the city, are
encamped on the banks of the Poto-
mac in the vicinity of yesterdays
tragedy. Many of them last night
were ignorant of the drowning and
while searching parties piled their way
through the water in canoes and mo-
tor boats searching for the bodies, par

strains of jazz bands noated out over

Director of the Veterans Bureau.
Created for the ex-service man,
the Veterans Bureau, authorized
by the act of Congress of August
8, 1921, will, in the course Of
time, remove delays and red tape
which have in the past hindered the
administration of soldier and sailor
relief by Government agencies.
Duplication Eliminated.
While the creation Of the Veterans
Bureau eliminates one of the chief
difficulties In the way of soldier re-
lief work, that Of duplication of eff
fort, 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that the creation of the Blu
reau is not in itself an immediate
panacea for all of the troubles of
the ex-service person and that too
much must not be expected in the

years to build up the reserve Gov

be made over in a night.
The work of decentralization which

be gradual. To make any hasty
steps would be calamity, and II the

that in couple of weeks they Will
