Seventeen degrees of frost were registered in London's suburbs while the thermometer showed twenty-one degrees of frost in parts of flumpshire. All ponds and numerous slow-running streams are frozon over,

Curiously enough, England is experiencing much colder weather than Scotland. The temperature throughout Scotland in at least ten degrees warmer than it is on the South side of the Tweed.
It is hoped that the advent of the Arctic apell, which the won- ther prophets venture to forecast will continue for some little time, will help to bring about an abate- ment of the widespread influenza epidemia by killing the germis.
Will Cancel Rest of Tour if Australia Thinks it Desirable

PREPARED
AUSTRALIAN CHARGES
DEPRECATED
FULL CONFIDENCE IN JARDINE
London, Jan. 23.
THE M.CC. TO-DAY CABLED THEIR REPLY TO
THE REMARKABLE PROTEST LODGED BY THE AUSTRALIAN BOARD OF CONTROL ARIS- ING FROM THE LEG-THEORY CONTROVERSY.
Drafted at a specially-convened meeting of the Committee, the reply, while generally approved; has caused a sensation in England and is likely to provide Australia with an even greater shock.
If Australia thinks it desirable, the M.C.C. is pre-
pared to cancel the remainder of the tour, since it has the fullest confidence in D. R. Jardine and the team
managers and is not prepared to dictate or in any way interfere in their policy. The M.C.C. reply is follow's:
"We, the Marylebone Cricket Club, deplore your cable.
"We deprecate your opinion that there has been unsportsmanlike play by the English team in the Test Matches.
"We have the fullest confidence in the captain and the team managers and are convinced that they would do nothing to infringe either the laws of ericket or the spirit of the game.
