To the Editor OF the Tribune.
Sr: This extraordinarily warm sum.
mer is to be accounted for in the high
temperature OF the waters along the
coast. The regularly moving warm and
cold currents OF the oceans circula
tion are the means which nature EN-.
ploys to effect the transfer OF the heat
OF the torrid zone toward the pc. es.
and the co d Of the polar regions to-
ward the equator.
The great weather factory for all
lands contiguous TO the Moth At

the tail OF the Grand Banks Of New
foudland, where the gulf stream aud
the Labrador currents make, their
heaviest contact. aud the victor dict

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

B1GPOOL, Md, July 24.-President
Harding found his excitement to-day
at the Edison-F Ford -Firestone camp in
horseback riding and Bishop Anderson's
sermon. Otherwise he sat in the shade
and sat in the shade until he de-
parted for Washington in the after
noon. He retired fairly early last night
after having telephoned to Mrs. Hard
ing from country store on hill above
the camp, and this morning he was up
with others in the camp and looking
fresh and fit.
Nothing exciting happened after
breakfast until the President began
talking deep-sea fishing to Thomas A.
Edison. Inasmuch as Mr.. Edison is
somewhat deaf and inasmuch as the
President, who has g. strong voice,
wanted to be sure Mr.. Edison heard
him, the nearby mountaineers had an
excellent opportunity for a thorough
education from an eminent authority
on the nature and custom Of tarpon.
Soon afterward the horseback high spot
in the day occurred. The grooms, who
had been busy shining Mr.. Firestone's 3
saddle horses, brought up all six, and
the President, Mr.. Firestone, Mr.. Ford,
Secretary Christian, one of the Fire
stone boys and Secret Service man
mounted. They cantered down the

More rest then until / o'clock,
when Bishop w. S. Anderson, of Ohio,

condition having arisen which caused

Faints at Front Door
Girls With Them Escape;

ATLANTIC CITY, July 24.-A giant
negro, welding a baseball bat, early
this morning attacked Samuel Forbes,
twenty-one years old, of 1922 North
Florida Avenue. and Leopold Dassen,
twenty-five years old, of Atlantic
City, on a side road leading off the
White Horse Pike, about two miles
from Absecon, N. j. Two young
women who were in company with the
men escaped without INJURY.
Following the attack the negro fed.
and Forbes, with his skull fractured
and his body badly bruised, placed his
companion in the side car of his motor
cycle and drove seven miles to Atlantic
City in supreme effort to save his life.
Half conscious and the motor of his
machine covered with blood. Forbes
drove up to the Atlantic City Hospital
and then collapsed and fell over the
motorcycle handle bars. Hospital at
tendants rushed out and carried the
two men into the hospital. Forbes is
not expected to live. Dassen, whose
skull also is believed to be fractured,
the attack and is believed to be dying.
The two young women who were viii.
Forbes and Dassen gave their names as
Olive Hess, of 207 Arizona Avenue,
Atlantic City, and Laura Risley, of
North Field, N. J. They said that they
escaped while the negro was battling
with their two escorts. They said that
they screamed frantically at passing
motorist, who, instead of stopping, put
on more speed. They fled down the
road and were brought back to the city
by another motorist.
The Hess girl said that when the
negro approached them she drew sew
eral rings from her fingers and threw
later recovered. Miss Risely had a
considerable sum of money which she
saved by thrusting it into her stocking.
The negro, according to the girls,
first struck Forbes over the head.
When he fell to the road Dessen made
q leap for his throat. The negro beat
him on the head until finally he fell
unconscious.
Some time later Forbes regained con-
sciousness and, realizing the serious
condition Of his companion, picked him
up and placed him in the sidecar.
After tying a handkerchief about his
his eyes he turned the motorcycle about
and began his run of seven miles to the
hospital.
Detectives were sent to the scene OF
the attack following its report by the
hospital attendants, but no trace of the
negro could be found. The girls de-
scribed him as about six feet tall and
forty years CT age. 1t is not known
whether tho negro robbed the men
while they were unconscious.
Residents of the section have formed
posses and are searching for the negro
