DISCUSS WANAQUE
WATER CONTRACT
WITH OFFICIALS
Paterson Objects to Fixed Time
for All Pay
ments.

For the purpose of analyzing the
contents of the Wanaque water con-
tract, representatives of the munich
palities interested met in conference
this afternoon with Assistant Attor-
ney-G General Herbert Boggs at his
office in the Essex building. Since
the contract has now been drafted.
Attorney General Boggs is anxious to
ascertain whether the form meets
with the approval of the counsel or
attorneys of the cities interested.
City Counsel Edward F. Mercy. Of
Paterson, was unable to attend. He,
however, presented his objection to
the contract in the form Of a letter.
Mr. Mercy claims that definite dates
for the payment of installments
should be eliminated and that munich
palities should only pay upon demand
when the money is actually required
by the State Water Supply Commits
sion. He points out that in the past
the Passaic Valley Sewerage Conn
mission insisted upon instaIlments
being paid on definite fixed date.
Mr.. Mercy argued that while the
money was not actually needed by
the commission they received the
benefit of the interest.
In the contract Paterson ls pro-
vided for as being willing TO take
minimum of 5000, 900 gallons daily.
This. Mr.. Mercy says. is too low
and that Paterson can use 10,000.00a
gallons to advantage.
Assistant Attorney General Boggs
said that the objections raised by Mr..
Merrev would be met and that the
contract as now drafted was tenta-
tive and subject to change. We have
provided q certain consumption
which the municipalities believe they
win be able to use, this capacity Is
of course subject to change" said
Mr.. Boggs. by way Of explanation.
Newark is represented at the hear
ing BY City Counsel Spaulding Fra
ger. Newark has agreed to take five
million gallons daily at once and five
million gallons additional in the
future as required. Paterson viii take
ten millions. Passaic four millions,
Montelair two millions, Harrison two
millions, Kearny two millions and
Glen Ridge four hundred thousand
! gallons
This will make a total OF 80. 400, 10F
gallons of water TO be taken when the
Wanaque watershed Is developed and
ready to produce water. In order "a
raise working capital the charge vii
be s2o0. 900 per million gallons to each
municipality. The estimated cost o.
the project is IS, 900 so that this

tied French Battlefield.

Representative r. Wayne Parker,
of the Ninth congressional district,
returned home in the steamship st.
Louis, after trip through England
and France, yesterday. Today he
told of some of his experiences in
these war-worn countries. While on
a trip to Cambridge in England, Mr..

tained in a train, which was stalled
because of a Zeppelin raid then in
progress over the city of London.
Il missed the fireworks" said Mr..
Parker, because l was not able to
return to the city until 3 o'clock in

damage. the next morning, l did not
see anything Of the actual raid.

the folks ordered their cook away
from the window and into the cellar.
She refused to go at first. and was
only compelled when her mistress
threatened to discharge her.
It's such a pretty sight, madam,
she protested.
.sThe actual damage done by the
big airships was trifiing, as / saw ii.
To be sure, some of the bombs killed
from ten to fifteen people who should
not have been killed, and in one in
stance a bomb fell through the roof
of skating rink, tearing away the
roof and doing other damage. But,
in the main, the bombs fell in streets
and open places.
Great holes We're formed and frag-

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Belief that the
italian censors are Withholding mes
sages dealing with important phases
of the sinking of the liner Ancona
grew here today.
A few fragmentary dispatches
touching on minor details of the tor
pedoing or describing scenes of terror
among the passengers, reached here
throughout the night and early to-
day. But news regarding more i'm
portant circumstances surrounding
the sinking Of the ship was lacking
The latest dispatches from Rome said
the italian government had received
no official reports on the Aneona dis
aster. It was concluded here that
the italian authorities have imposed
stricter censorship on cable dis
patches in the last twenty-four hours,
awaiting official information.
Sharp contradictions in the stories
told by survivors reaching Malta, and
in the reported statement of the
Ancona's commander, have not been
cleared away. With one or two ex-
ceptions all news dispatches reaching
London carried stories that the An
coma was attempting to escape when
fred upon. Against these Was a re-
port quoting the captain as saying he
stopped the Ancons. whom the subma-
rine fired the first shot.
Accurate estimates Of the dead were
still unobtainable today, but it was
believed the loss Of life would range
from $50 to 17b. Dispatches thus far
have carried the name Of but one
American survivor.

GREEK CHAMBER
ISDISSOLVEDBY
KING CONSTANTINE
Ruler Throws Down Gauntlet
to War Party-Election
on Dec. 1o.
BY the United Press.

| BY the United Press.
LONDON. Nov. liking constan-
tine finally has thrown down the
gauntlet to the Greek war party.
Athens dispatches today announced
his dissolution Of parliament. No de-
tails were given further than that an
election had been set for December
19, but what led up to his majesty s
action was apparent.
When NJ Skouloudis the kings
latest choice, for a neutral premier.
took Office, he began negotiations
with ex-Premier venizelos, war lead
er in parliament, with view TO in
ducing the pro-war group at least to
tolerate his ministry. This was nec-
essary because the war party, being
in majority, could have forced his
retirement by . vote of lack of con-
fidence whenever they pleased.
yenizelos evidently refused.
In dissolving parliament for fresh
referendum Of the peace or war ques-
4ion, Constantine deliberately did
right to do the question having been
settled, in venizelos' opinion, IN favor
Of war. by an election six months ago.
Election Date Earlier.
Constantine named an election date
much earlier than was expected. The
impression was that he would try to
delay it until the present acute sitna-
tion in the Balkans was past. he
chose a time, however, when gem
uine ballot Is impossible. inasmueh as
all the trained men Of military age
are with the colors and cannot vote.
To tie the matter up still more COM
pletely, it IS stated in Athens dis
patches that even the Greeks who
have never received military train
ing are also to be modified imme-
diately. increasing the army from
400. 900 to 100000
Constantine presumably Is con-
xflaced that he win get q mandate
satisfactory to himself from the
handful OF electors who viii be able
to cast their ballots with the army
completely mobilized.
venizelos' course is watched from
here with much anxiety. II he under
| takes to rouse the country against
the king. diplomats say they think
the prospect excellent for a revolu-
tion.
