Charlottesville, Virginia Jan. 27.-
Relations of the president to congress

would have been better If the con-
stitution had provided closer con-

the matter Of budgets and economical
administration.
"Bnt we rae In age Of icono-

force to introduce some slight amend
ments which experience. would sustain
and from which benefit would be de-
rived 1t might be far outweighed by
the danger of radical changes to the

The action Of President Wilson in
addressing congress in person was
commended. He advocated a single
term of seven years for the presi-
dent, and render him ineligible there
after.

BERLIN SAYS THE BRITISH
LOST HEAVILY IN BATTLE

Berlin, January 27.-Contrary to the
British reports that in the naval fight
in the North Sea last Sunday no Brit
ish ships were lost, and that pursuit
of the German ships was finally aban-
doned on account of German mines
and submarines, the German govern
ment today issued an official state
ment saying one British battle cruiser
and two British destroyers were sunk.
The statement adds:
These facts not only were OBJ
served by our big ships but also as
certained by German torpedo boat,
which returned unhurt. The torpedo
boat shot two torpedoes against a
British battle cruiser, which already
was heeling over, whereupon she cap
sized and sunk"
The statement also asserts a Ger
man dirigible observed the sinking
and also observed the falling OF rnasts
and tunnels of other British ships, in
dicating they were seriously damaged.
1t is asserted the British feet with
drew from the German squadron and
beyond the reach of their guns
There was no question of pursuit
of the German ships" says the report,
because the high speed OF the Brit
ish vessels would have enabled them
to catch up and destroy the German
cruisers"
The statement concludes by saying
the "unreliability OF the reports OF
the British admiralty also are proved
by the fact that the admiralty even
now win not admit the loss OF the
battleship Audacious.''

the terminus Of one caravan route.
The British had filled all wells along
the caravan route so the invaders
would have to carry their own water.
