Cold Wave Is All Over
the Whole Country; Slightly
Warmer Weather Coming

The thermometer on the roof OF the
Central High School registered eight
degrees above zero at 7 O'Clock TINS
morning, two degrees higher than the
low mark of last Saturday morning.
At. noon, seventeen was registered,
the same mark as yesterday at noon,
and the forecaster believed that to-
night will not be so cold as last night.
The difference will not be very great
however.
The wind, which was from the west
and blowing fifteen miles an hour At
noon, gave signs of moderating. To
morrow it probably will become var
liable and then will come cloudiness
and considerable rise in tempera-
ture.
The high temperature for yesterday
was nineteen at o'clock. From That
point the mercury receded steadily,
reaching ten above at midnight aid
nine at O'Clock this morning.
The cold wave is all over the coun-
try today, temperature two below the
freezing point being reported from the
Mexican boundary and twenty eight
below from White River Junction, VT,
which seized for q moment the dis
tinction of being the coolest spot.

WASHINGTON. Jan. ts.--The right

central powers by more rigid appli-
cation Of the ultimate destination
doctrine has been agreed upon by the
entente allies, according to informa-
tion in diplomatic circles here to-
day
The doctrine is expected TO be pro-
claimed in the near future. the delav
being attributed to the reluctance OF
France and possibly Italy TO enforce

rights of j belliserent in this re-
spect.
Exchanges on the subject are tnk-
ing place between the diplomatic rep
resentatives Of the allies. and. in an
informal way. between the diplomatic
and State department officials. The
object is to sound out public senti-
ment in the United States.
To Bring Hostility Of q. s.
Application of the blockade to nell

the United States established a pre-
cedent In the Civil War. is fully eX-
pected to result in experimenting the
opposition of the United States by the
very bitter protests of Holland. Den
mark and Sweden and possibly Nor
way.
Except for this feature there might
be little objection TO the substitution
of u real blockade for what are re.
garded as the wholly Illegal orders
in council.
At present the allies are stopping all
commerce with the Teutonic powers
directly by these orders in council.
and are restricting indirect commerce
by actual seizures through agree
ments with the neutral countries of
northern Europe to embargo exports
into Germany and Austria.
One of the interested diplomatic
representatives pointed out today that
therefore the PRONUNCIATION of q block
ade really would not very greatly
change existing conditions SO far as
the admission of American goods into
the Teutonic countries was concerned.
A substantial difference. however,
would be the claim of a belligerent
which seized an American ship or

instead of merely OBTAINING her and
paying for her cargo taken.

WATER BILLS
ARE DELAYED;
CONFERENCE ON
Senate Adjourned Last Night
Before Measures Reached
Trenton.

Because the Senate only held a short
session last night the Introduction
into the Legislature at Trenton of the
bills calling for the creation of two
district water supply commissions
had to be postponed. Chief Engineer
Morris r.. Sherrerd. of this city, who
had charge of the bills, which he in
tended to turn over to Senator Thomas
+. McCran, of Paseaic, for introduc-
ton, arrived in Trenton after the ad-
journment of the Senate.
While none of the municipalities
have any fear but that the bills will
be favored by quick action, the rep
resentatives of the cities Interested
expect to have conference regarding
the measures with some of the legis-
lators, and today Walter Kidde. of
Montclair. conferred with Governor
Field sr about them. The measures
call for the appointment of two COM
missions, one for Northern New Jer-
sey and the other for the southern
part of the State.
Each commission will have the
power to develop the watersheds of
it's respective district. but the powers
of the commissioners will in no way
conflict with those of the new State
Board of Conservation and Develop
ment.
At the conference of the legal rep
resentatives of the municipalities
from the northern part of the State
interested in the measures. held in
the Office of City Counsel Spaulding
Frazer yesterday, the bills were re-
vised. At the suggestion of Mr..
Sherr,rd an amendment hitting at
the Lehigh Valley railroad was
adop ed. It gives power to the COM
mission, in case any canal or water
way is interfered with by develop
nents consummated by the commits
sion. TO acquire by condemnation or
otherwise said rights, notwithstand-
Ing any legislative grant held for such
canal or waterway.
The developments In the wafer
sheds are to be proportionately shared
by the municipalities interested in the
improvements and the salaries of the
commissioners, which the bills fix at
$2,500, are also to be borne by the
cities. The terms of the commits
sioners will run for five years. The
northern part of the State is mainly
interested in the development of the
Wanaque watersheds, which, it is be-
lieved, will supply the needs of the
towns within the district
