CITY SUFFERING
FROM JUNCTION OF
COUPLE OF STORMS
One Came All the Way from the
Pacific and Other from
Gulf of Mexico.
WAS WARMED UP
AND TURNED SNOW TO RAIN
Another Coming from the North
west with Snow and a Big
Drop in Temperature.

Out of the west, where it had been
clogging traffic ard tying things up
generally, came the snowstorm that
stI uck Newark early this morning and
proceeded to go the limit here. Only
the high temperature saved the city
from a real live blizzard and turned
the snow to rain about 11:3O O'Clock.
Not content with the trouble that
had been inflicted upon it's Western
neighbors the Atlantic coast got the
benefit of another and entirely separate
storm that had started cruising around
the Gulf of Mexico a day or two ago.
The original disturbance came into
being On the Pacific coast, taking in
nearly everything from the State of
Washington to the Southern California
Peninsula. Working east it covered the
entire country, and then. when it had
gotten nearly to the A~lleghenies was
reinforced by this second effort, which
coming from the south, was much
warmer and reduced a great deal of
the snow to rain.
The whole Atlantic seaboard is in
cluded, although south of Virginia no
snow fell.
The kind of weather that we have
had during this morning may prevail
for the remainder of the day and a
large part of tomorrow, for when this
storm is played out there is another on
it's way to continue conditions. This
new intruder is coming from the north
west and will bring with it not only
snow but a much lower temperature.
Trolley traffic in Newark vas not
greatly hindered by the storm. Sweep
ers were put on as soon as it broke
and the tracks kept clear without
much difficulty, and cars were uni
formly on time, except when delayed
by stalled wagons.
The snow-shoveling force got to
work as soon as it could be gotten to-
gether, and before the rain began the
-Four Corners and sections nearby were
fairly cleaned up.
Little of the wind that accompanied
the storm from it's western tour was
present here, so. although four and a
half inches of snow fell in all. there
was little or no drifting.
One of the most pronounced differ
ences between yesterdays weather and
today's was the temperature which,, III
to noon, had not reached within z de-
| grees of the 20 point marked twenty
/ Jour hours before.
The wind, which yesterday came out
of the southwest. shifted nearly a
quarterway round h compass and
was blowing out of the southeast al
noon, though the velocity, Is miles al
hour, continued the same.

WAR TALK KEEPS
UP IN PARIS
FRENCH NEWSPAPER SAYS JAP.
ANEsE NAVY rs VERY ANXIOUS
TO FIGHT

PARIS. February 2O-Tho Hearst
News correspondent had "a long talk
today with Commandant German,
aide.decamp to Admiral Richard,
who has just returned from Japan I'm
company with Lieutenant Martini
who is attached TO the Japanese ad-
miralty as an instructor. lie has oX-
amined the entire japanese fleet and
knows the men and ships He be-.
licves that In spite of the peaceful
attitude of Japanese diplomacy, the
situation for the United States is very
serious.
"Thc Japanese navy has never been
iu higher state of perfection. Down
To the minutes details the fleet is
ready to go into battle. I will give
an example: The antiscptic solution
which is used for washing the eyes
of the guuners in times of battle lis
provided for every ship. You know
that every Quarter-hour the japanese
gunners are replaced, since, after a
few shots the eyes are blinded by
powder. and washed out with an anti
septic Well, the antiseptic is ready
on every ship.
VERY quietly Japan has been i'm
creasing her fleet. for the Japanese
arscnals are thoroughly equipped and
there are $4,000 workingmen employ
ed in Kure alone. and nearly as many
actively engaged i'm YOkosuka and Mi.
zoru. The government has all the
sailormen it wants At present they
number $4,000. / was informed i'm ia
pan that the United States can hardly
muster 10000, mostly unpatriotic
aliens.
"The japanese are very self-confi-
dent since the Russian war. and no
one among naval officers doubts they
would win a victory over the United
States. Even the presence OF the
United States fleet in the Pacific does
not discourage their high hopes. They
point out that if the fleet left San
Francisco for the Philippines it would
have to sail between Honolulu and
Guam, fifteen days without seeing
land. I'm eight days the Japanese fleet
could reach Manila.
Even if the United States fleet got
that far it could be easily knocked to
pieces, ship by ship as the United
States vessels have no way of max,
ing repairs, possessing no shipyards
on the islands"
Commandment German concluded
by saying the Japanese naval officers
are all keen for war, and confident
it will not be put off by diplomatic
chatter. One Japanese captain SAID
! to him:
1--WE have fine collection of Chi
nese warships and Russian cruisers
and should like to add a few Yankee
boats to our navy"
