BUSINESS AT STANDSTILL Commandant McCable, Member of Dail SMreann, Is in Charge of National Forces. BELFAST, July 15. (By the As sociated Press.) News slowly fil tering through the zones' of military activity indicate that fighting has been going on in Sligo intermit tently for the last ten days. Busi ness Is at a standstill, the major ity of "the people naving fled. At Collooney a. small free state force attempted to arlve out a large body of republicans, but met with little success. All the civilians in the district fled. The national troops who expelled 40 irregulars from the residence of Viscount Tpres at Drumbo, near Boyle, today proceeded to Sligo, while reinforcements for the republicans were said to have arrived at Sligo from West Mayo. Commandant McCable, member of the Dail Eireann for Sligo, is said to he. commanding the national foTces.

CIVILIANS SHORT OF FOOD Republicans Live on Country Like Feudal Invaders. LONDON, July 15. (By the Asso ciated Press.) A serious food short age threatens the civilian popula tion in the areas occupied by the republican military forces in Ire land, according to statements from free state sources, because of the commandeering of food supplies for the use of the insurgent troops. The republicans are declared to be living on the country in the man ner of the invaders of feudal times, thereby creating a spirit of intense bitterness against themselves. Stop page of communications through the destruction of bridges and re moval of rails is said to be adding considerably to the suffering of the population, as supplies cannot reach even those districts where the in surgents are not immediately op erating. The provisional free state gov ernment is planning energetic ef forts to restore order. Michael Collins, free state commander-in-chief, and his staff are working at high pressure, and General Ow8n O'Duffy is said to have been given chief command of the operations in the south, the main, stronghold of the republicans.

Stevenson, secre tary of the local Chamber of Com merce, to Mayor Rolph of San Fran cisco, suggesting that Klamath be included in the northern California booster movement, and that the state line be figuratively removed, Mayor Rolph declared that "There are no real lines between people who have so much in common as there is between your broad, fertile, beau tiful country and our own northern territory." A copy of the telegram was pub lished today. "Your telegram," it said, "has attracted a great deal of attention and its friendly spirit has been praised by all who are in terested in the development -of our section of America. San Francisco is doing a big work in this matter. All of the money, nearly half a million, is being raised here, but San Francisco will include all its neighbors in Its advertising.

C. July 8. 1 Joseph, the long - famed ' weather prophet of the Bible j who foretold the seven lean years and the following seven years of plenty, may one day be shown up as a piker by modern weather fore casters, when solar observations be rtig conducted by the Smithsonian institution are completed, it is in dicated. Dr. C. G. Abbot, assistant secre tary of the institution, describing the institution's world-wide studies of the variation of the heat of the sun in the annual report lately made public, declares that such compila tions are already being used by two South American countries as an aid to weather forecasting. The institu tion's researches, which are consid ered of great scientific importance are being closely followed by scien tists all over the world, and may. make long time prognostications an usual and simple part of weather mapping. v Goal Believed to Be Near. After, many years close observa tion and measurement of the heat radiation from the sun, scientists Believe they are now. near the goal. It has been finally determined that the sun does not throw off a con tinuous amount of heat, from year to year, from month to month and even, from day to day; that neither dees the earth receive a constant amount of solar heat; that these variations are periodic and regular according to several ' factors, pri marily the sun's rotation; and that there is a direct connection with the solar variation and the earth's cli mate: ' The institution. Dr. Abbot said, has set up apparatus for heat meas uring at various stations around the wortd, from which have been com puted endless tables of figures by which the measurements showing solar variations have been checked and proved. Dally Observations Furnished. While this work is still going on with the view of co-ordinating the measurements with earthly weather conditions, daily observations of the "solar constant" or radiation are be ing furnished from the institution's station on Mount Montezumo.

STORM CLOUDS FROWN Republicans Who Were Swept Into Office on Landslide Begin to Fear for Re-election. BT ROBERT T. SMALL. (Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.) WASHINGTON, D. C, July 15. (Special.) The congress snarl seems almost inextricable. And President Harding apparently ia determined to let the national legislature stew in its own juice. When he was a sen ator the president-used to hear a good deal of. rather harsh criticisms in the cloakroom of, an executive who would attempt . to usurp the function of congress.' So he is not going to be a usurper. President Harding feels there is plenty of work for the executive to do at this time. As a matter of fact, even the moBt casual visitor to Washington would readily per ceive that the president has his hands full. Rarely, indeed, has a president been called upon to guard the public interest in the face of two great strikes. " . Cabinet conferences' have been almost continuous this week, and it has seemed to the president to be a little out of the picture to have congress come knocking around the White House asking for alms in the way of executive help. President Losing Patience. There are Increasing evidences that the president is losing patience With congress. He has told both senate and house exactly what they ought to do. He does not feel it incumbent upon him to tell them how they shall do it. Some of the president's friends deeply resent the constant senatorial visits to the White House to. see If Mr. Harding has not changed his mind about this or that phase of the legislative programme. Leaders at Wits' End. The senate leaders are at their wits' end. The tariff bill makes little or no progress and the more important schedules have been put off until August. Then the real talk will begin. All that has gone before will seem but as a zephyr to a cyclone. The democrats insist they are not engaged in a filibus ter', they are merely determined to discuss each schedule thoroughly. It took something over a day to dis cuss the rate on almonds. How many days and weeks will 'be devoted to sugar and wool that no one knows. The democrats are enjoying the dis comfiture of their republican col leagues as the time for opening the campaign approaches and there is no end of (congress in sight. Comparatively few of the demo crats are faced with the complex political ituations at home that pre vail in many of the - republicai states. The democrats don't want congress o end. They feel that the longer they can keep it here and the longer they can keep shooting holes in the republican programme the better it will be at the polls in November. - Democrats Well Pleased. The- democrats of, the house are particularly well pleased with the situation. About all the democrats who could be swept out of office became engulfed in the flood of 1920, and those who weathered that storm feel they are safe for all time. On the other hand, many of the republican members who Blid in on the Harding landslide feel that un less something mighty encouraging happens between now and early November they are going to slide out about as rapidly as they slid 1. President Harding is not anxious to hold congress in session, but he doesn't want an adjournment taken until certain definite things are uc complished. He has set his mind and heart upon a consideration of the ship subsidy bill at this session and has committed himself to the calling of an extra session if con gentina and Brazil, where they are used regularly in forecasts. Our own weather bureau. Dr. Abbot added, is investigating the relations of the more complicated weather conditions of the United States to the radiation of the sun, and with results which tend to. raise the hope that here too the solar-radiation values will be of interest and im portance in weather forecasting. The interesting question has often been brought up, according to the article, as to whether the sun may be gradually losing its heat and .de clining toward a cold, dead condi tion. However, he said, it is Impos sible to answer the question other than to refer to the fact that crops raised in the most (ancient of his toric times were substantially the same as those grown at present, so that there has at least been little decline within the last 6000 years. With the- aid of the institution's studies, which fix the measurements within an error of one 1 per cent, scientists 1000 years from now may De ame to answer the question with out doubt. Variations of Saturn Noted. When the hypothesis of the Bun's variations was first beiner worked out, it is said, a very interesting method was used to check the ob servations. Using, a photo-electric ceil, Lr. Guthnick, of the Berlin ob servatory measured the brightness of the planet Saturn as compared wun me star Kegulus. As Saturn shines with the reflected light of me sun- ii was declared, It must vary if the sun does. These observa tions were compared with the studies of the sun's brightness as made by the Smithsonian but the tables did not agree, although both snowea somewhat similar fluctua tions over a period of several months. . The comparison, however. was made on the assumption of changes on the sun being felt In all direc tions simultaneously, Dr. Abbot said. When allowance was made for the rotation of the sun's disc, which is about 27 days, and for the fact that the rays which reached the earth might sweep around one, two or three-days before or after reaching Saturn, it was found that the lat ter was the true case, and the fluc tuations accorded exactly. gress fails to act . before adjourn ment, j The ship subsidy is a thorn in the side of many congressmen and sen ators. They do not Bee how it pos sibly can be deait with at this sea son of congress unless the session extends to election and beyond. . And they say that if they stay and work on the subsidy there is no hope for an adjournment 'before the next ses sion begins in December. If they refuse to consider the. subsidy at any length, the democrats will say that' congress has split - with the president. . Naturally, the : republicans, are looking for some sort of plausible compromise that will let them out and also save the president. They don't realize apparently that Pres ident Harding is urging the subsidy as a political measure. He has be come convinced that the subsidy is a much-needed economic -measure. He is as much of an enthusiast on the subject as Chairman Lasker of the shipping board. . . . Attitude of Homefolk Sought. Meantime the members of , the house of representatives are - due back in Washington just one month from today. They have gone home to see what the folks there' are thinking about. They were told to inquire particularly as to the feel ing in respect to the subsidy. Per haps they will bring back some in formation valuable alike to con gress and the executive. All Wash ington will be interested in the tales they have to tell. ' Whatever may have been their hopes when they left Washington for a vacation, the members on their return will' find the same three storm clouds hanging over the cap itol, spitting lightning and volley ing thunder. They are tariff, sol dier bonus and ship subsidy. These are clouds making heavy executive weather and there is no one in Washington today capable of tell ing when and how congress is ever to get away. WAR MAKERS HELP FOES MILITARY GOVERNORS IN CHINA ARE DENOUNCED. Provincial Chiefs Declared Will ing to Ruin Country to Serve ' Their Selfish Ends." ' PEKIN, July 15, (By the Asso ciated Press i Military governors of the provinces who oppose the pres ent movement in China toward dem ocracy and reform are plunging the country into civil war to serve their own selfish ends, according to a declaration made to the pro visional cabinet Friday by President Li Yuan-Hung. The president made his charge against the military governors, or tuchuns, at an extraordinary meeting of the cabinet which he had called to consider what means to halt the rising tide of disorder, anarchy and internal war. Government circles do not conceal their anxiety over the situation and it is freely predicted that unless prompt measures are taken Presi dent Li's plans to disband the pro vincial armies and clip the talons of the tuchuns may be so blocked that he will quit office. .Conditions in the interior of the country are growing worse, accord ing to . recent advices. Kiangsi provnice Is a hotbed of strife and foreigners have been forbidden to cross its borders. The entire prov ince is said to be in the hands of disorganized troops whose recent mutiny resulted In the sacking of a score of cities and towns, the slaughtering of thousands of na tives' and the. imperiling of many foreigners. General Wu Pei Fu is reported to be hurrying to Kiangsi in an effort to restore order between his forces end those of Sun Tat Sen, who are fighting indiscriminately over the country, while the native populat'on flees in terror. Chang Tso-Lin, who was driven from the gates of Pekin in June by Wu Pei-Fu and who now is established in his Manchurian capital, Mukden, is said to have as sumed again a threatening attitude. Chang is reported to be assuming a dictatorial attitude toward the Pekin government and preparing his army for another descent on Pekin if Wu PeirFu withdraws his troops from that region to restore order in the center and south. The governor of the province of Chekiang already has openly defied President Li Yuan Hung and has seized the telephone and telegraph il-nes. , The. Chekiang association has de clared boldly for a confederation of the southern provinces opposed to the Pekin regime and is increasing Its army- with a view to asserting complete independence of President Li. As he laid this disturbing report oerore the memoers or nis cabinet. President LI Yuan Hung coupled with it the accusation that some of the tuchuns. had joined in a con spiracy against the Chinese people, who wish to unite and free them selves for all time of the burden of militarism. All the members of the cabinet whose resignations were left in President Li's hands some time ago, have agreed to stand by their chief executive until the present crisis Is passed, on the understanding that the old republican parliament will be reconvened soon and a new mln lsterial roster named and possibly a new president elected. -The key to the situation appears to have drifted again into the pos session of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, deposed president of South China. The early meeting of parliament depends on obtaining the attendance of enough members from the south to form a quorum and they are represented as standing pat in Canton, watching the outcome of the struggle there between Sun and Chen Chiung-Mlng and the development of the Pekin government's programme for reuni fication of the country. President Li still hopes for the opening of parliament by August 1 and he has urged Chen Chiung-Mlng to make another attempt to Induce Dr. Sun to come to Pekin, sink his personal desires in the face of China's needs and accept the role of a national patriot, ready to work with the men who are striving to solidify the Chinese people and de Btroy militarism. r DEATH REPORTED AGAIN Mother of Vocational Student Gets Second Notification. .

However, Al denies it, but is wondering as to whether or not he is going to receive the insurance that he is- now carrying wun me government. Al is at present busy preparing a flowery obituary for use in case he is unable to .prove mat ne is inno cent of the government's charge of being a dead one. This is the second time that the government has ac cused Schak of being officially dead. His captain reported him killed in action in the Toule sector, but Al says the captain was slightly wrong. TS FACE PAPAL WRATH Rebels of Czecho-Siovakia Receive Ultimatum. ANCIENT DECREE REVIVED Clergy that Broke With Vatican at Time of Armistice Must Return or Be Unfrocked." - tav T.RATRICE BASKERVILLE. (Copyright, 1922, by the New York World. I'uDllsnea oy ArrQcjuei.i -ROME, July 15. (Special Cable,- The congregation of the holy of fice threatens to excommunicate all those Czecho-Slovak priests i who, shortly after the armistice was signed, rebelled against- the papal authority, proclaiming their- inten tion to marry, say the mass in their native tongue and institute auton omy in the church administration and the nomination of bishops. The first movement found several hundred followers among: the lower clergy. In many cases entire par ishes joined the rebellion against Rome, but as the excitement and novelty of the situation wore orr nutnher dwindled and now prob ably not more than 200 still refuse to return to the discipline or tome. Ultimatum Is Issued. The congregation of the holy of fice was long occupied with the question, examining each priest's case separately. . They have now issued a decree to -the effect that the rebellious priests must declare their submission within 16 days to the authority of their respective bishops, their resignation from the schismatic society they now belong to and their submission to discipli nary punishment. Pope Pius XI confirmed the de cree, which is being communicated to the recalcitrant priests. This Is the first instance of a decree of ex communication against a number of priests in more than a century. , Many Rebels Married. The World asked the Czecho slovak legation here if the holy see is likely to bring back the rebels to the authority of Rome. The lega tion attache said: "We doubt it, because the priests who are still rebellious are married and have families. They are settled in their new lives and many already are in a position to earn their living ir they fail to find enough followers to form congregations." ARMY HOLDS JAPANESE Oriental Caug-ht Photographing Military Post Arrested. MANILA, July 15. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Two Japanese were arrested late yesterday afternoon and still were held today, charged with taking pictures on the McKin ley military reservation, five miles from Manila.

Moeher, who made the arrest, said he saw both of the Japanese in a brush pile on one of the target ranges. Military authorities who questioned the Jap anese said they were in possession of a compact high-power camera and film packs when arrested. Officers of the intelligence depart ment at Manila this morning ques tioned the Japanese who maintained they were merely taking scenic views. Both Japanese were held at Fort McKinley this afternoon.
