CHINESE RUSHING
FORCES To HALT
PROVINCIAL WAR
Revolt Against Government
of Sun Vat Sen Launched;
Brigands Encouraged

CANTON, July 23.-An interprovin-
cial warfare is in progress between
Kwangsi and Kwangtung. The initial
success lies with the Cantonese
troops of DR.. Sun Vat Sen, president
of the recently established "eXtraor-
binary government of China" They
have occupied the important Kwang-
81 port of Wuchow on the West river.
Cantonese troops also are being con-
centrated at Yamchow and Limchow,
in the southwestern extremity of
Kwantung, and it is in that district
that military operations are expected
to develop.
General Lu Yung Ting, the nominal
war lord and head of the Kwangsi
militarists, would be satisfied. it is
generally believed, with the status
quo at the beginning of the conflict,
when he was undisputed leader In
Kwangsi But his followers have in
duced him to believe that he would
have the support, in a fight against
Sun Vat Sen, of General Chang Tso
Lin, of Mukden, the most powerful of
the northern ''supertuchuns" or war
lords"
General Chen Pin-Chun, a former
military governor of Kwangtung, with
many other former Kwangtung offd
cials. Cantonese and non-Cantonese,
are supporting the movement against
DR.. Sun Yet Sen, and the L-;oming
Tank military party with funds. and
in an effort to arouse brigandage in
KWangtung so as to regain militar-
and political power in that province.

SHIPPING BOARD
SH!F IS CONTROL.
OVER FIVE SHIPS
Steamers Seized For Failure
of Operators to Pay Rent,
Will Not be Held Idle

NEW YORK, July 23.-The United
American line temporarily will oper-
ate the five passenger liners seized
last night. from the U. S. Mail Steam
ship company by the shipping board,
according to an announcement today
by j. B. Smull, an operating director
of the board.
SmuH said this arrangement was
made in order that there might be
no interference with plans and con-
tracts made by passengers for sailing
on these vessels.
The first to sail under the new ar
rangement will be the George Wash
ington, which will leave for France
August 23 with members of the AM
erican legion.
The United American line is a sub
sidiary of the American Ship and
Commerce corporation, of which w.
A Hartman is president
Decision to take action against the
u. S. Mail Steamship company was
made last Thursday at Washington,
at full meeting of the shipping
board. Smull said, and the action was
unanimous. The alleged derelection
OF the company in the matter of pay
ment was called to the attention of
the new board by the district auditor
and it was former Chairman Benson,
now one of the commissioners. who
suggested the coTTse taken.
According to Elmer Schlessinger.
general counsel of the shipping board
who was with Smull, the board has
got to get down to business basis.
THE old board was jollied out of
$5.000,000 more than the U. S Mail
was entitled to- he said. "and they
have kept the freight and passenger
receipts since March 81"
Replying to charge made today
by officials of the L. s. Mail that
the shipping board owed Vt money,
Schlessinger said he was in a posi-
tion to say that the shipping board
did not owe the company anything.
Positive denial WAS made of ale
cations that any interests. other than

Bottom of Canyon

DEL NORTE, Colo. July 23.-Two
persons were killed and three injured
when the automobile in which they
were riding was struck by a water
spout and carried over 200-foot en-
bankment in Wolf creek pass, near
here yesterday.
THE dead are Mrs. Ernest Giesecke,
OF honolulu, and her niece, Bertha
Geiesecke of Denver, IA years old.
Ernest Geisecke and Mr.. aid Mrs. AL
bert GeiseCke, parents of the girl,
were injured. They are in a hospital
here and are not in a serious condi-
ton.
The party was touring from Mesa

GENERAL SHUTS
To VISIT DUBLIN
London is Optimistic That,
Whether Terms Accepted
or Not, Peace is Near

LONDON, July 23.-CBy the. Asso-
ciated Press s)-The feeling both in
London and Dpblin over the prospects
of a peace in Ireland remains optimis-
tic. Eamona de Valera, the Irish re-
publican leader, today discussed the
British terms with Arthur Griffith
and others at the Mansion House in
Dublin, but no formal conference was
held, and de Valera informed inquir-
ers that it was most unlikely any de-
velopments would take place in the
immediate future.
No date for the meeting of the Dali
Eireann has been fixed, and it is pre-
sumed that notifications of the terms
will be sought before the republican
parliament takes up the matuVr or1-
cially.
General Smuts, the South African
premier, it is understood, will go to
Ireland early next week for the pur-
pose of Conciliating if possible, the
opposing factions of the north and the
south. He will place his services aJ
the disposal of both de Valera and
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier.
The opinion in London is that the
British terms are not likely to be ac-
cepted as they stand, but de Valera
is almost certain to come to London
again, with more of his colleagues.
and the Ulster premier has already
declared that he would be aailable at
any time he was really needed.
