"BERMUDA HIGH" BLAMED.

Intense Heat.
Washington. July 2S.--A Bermuda
High" Is the official cause of the worst
heat wave that has enveloped the
country in fifteen years. Translated
from the cryptic language of the wealth
er office that means that a great area
of high pressure air has formed on the
weather drill grounds in tho Atlantic of
Bermuda for the last month and Is re-
sisting all efforts Of interior air cur
rents from the Rocky Mountains to the
seaboard to penetrate 1t.
For weeks It has stood liks a solid
wall against heated currents trying
vainly to move out from the interior
over the ocean and now as 1t swiris rap
idly along 1t Is gathering heat and
moisture from the tropics hand sweep
ing them northward over the continent
into the vacuum of So called low pres
sure areas Altho its greatest inten-
sity has not yet revolved upon the Pa
cific coast it Is expected to do so with
in the next few days
During all this month Forecaster
Frankentield says the huge body Of high
pressure has been gathering over the
Western Atlantic from Florida to New
foundland and east to the Azores
Heavy Thick and Hot
1t is very heavy In weight and thick
in dimensions. Heavy air always flows
to place occupied by light air. but
unfortunately. there is at present an
area of light air in the tropics. When
the heavy air arrives there it finds there
Is still lighter air over the continent
So it moves north in an enormous
sweep. burning hot from the tropics and
heavily laden with seaborne humidity
1t Is distributing this heat and humidity
over all the continental United States
in what officials call the Bermuda

Tine air in the Initiiie west is pecom-
ing much heavier and it may form To-
cal center where the air currents will
clash in series of thunderstorms af-
fording speedy relief thru a readjust-

Fear Repri.aIs bv Allies.

Washington, July %. - Germany's
execution Of Captain Fryatt, master Of
the British steamship Brussels, for ali
alleged attempt to ram a submarine is
regarded in allied quarters here as a
BRUTAL violation of internationa law.
They contend that if hostile subma-
rine approached the Brussels it was, in
effect an attack and Captain Fryatt in
making counter attack by attempting
to ram, subjected himself only to treat
ment as prisoner Of war in event Of
ca apture.
Reprisals by the allies, it is feared,
must be followed by a change in the
German submarine policy, which has
been satisfactory to the United States
since the last assurance that merchant
ships would not be attacked without
warning and promise of safety for pas
sengers and crew.
