It is 135 miles from Boston and a ready supply of specialists needed in the work of rehabilitation. Inset is Col. Charles R. Forben. More startling evidence of useless expenditures and waste in the Veterans' Bureau during the regime of Col. Charles R.

KELLOGG NAMED WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—Former Senator Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, will succeed Col. Geo.

His appointment cannot be confirmed for a month yet as the senate does not meet until December 3. Despite the threats of some dissatisfied western senators with the appointment of the former senator, it is deemed unlikely that there will be much, if any, opposition to his confirmation in the senate. Senatorial appointments are usually confirmed in short order of the unwritten rule of "senatorial courtesy" and friends of Kellogg do not anticipate any exception will be made in his case.
