WILSON WANTS TO AVOID
EXTRA SESSION If POSSIBLE
Is Considering Breaking of Precedent
That Has Stood for More Than a
Century-To Change Program.

Washington, Feb o. President
Wilson is considering breaking anoth.
er precedent of more than 100 years
standing by not calling the customary
special session of the Senate imme-
diately at the beginning Of his new
term.
In auguration arrangements, already
much upset by the fact that March 4
falls on Sunday, may be further dis
arranged by the abandonment of the
special session, which in a measure
would change entirely the method and
ceremonies of inaugurating the vice
president.
The Presidents purpose is to avoid
a special session of the Senate unless
an extraordinary session of Congress
is necessary.
Abandonment of the special session
would do away with the usual cere-
mony of inaugurating the vice presi-
dent in the Senate chamber in the
presence of both houses, the diplomat
ic corps, the Supreme Court, and 9th.
er dignitaries. 1t would eliminate ex-
actly one-haf of the official ceremony
Of Inauguration day.

AVERAGE MADE BY GERMANS IN
FIRST TWO WEEKS OF U-BOAT
CAMPAIGN AVERAGES ONE
SHIP IN 100 SAILING.
"WIDELY ADVERTISED"

Figures Are Given to Show Results Of
Movement Against Marine for First
Fortnight Following Declaration
by Teutons of UnreIenting
Warfare on Seas.

Washington, Fec. 22.-The British
nouncing that Germany's widely ad.
vertised campaign of ruthless murder
on the high seas" resulted in the loss
of one ship In every hundred plying
In or out of British ports between Feb
ruary 1 and February IA.
"The efforts the German wireless
press" said the statement, "since the
German declaration of indiscriminate
submarine warfare against merchant
shipping within zone around the
United Kingdom and France, have
been confined to advertising achieve
ments of German submarines.
Claims to have paralyzed the mer-
camille marine activity Of the Allies
and more particularly that of Britain
have appeared, together with hints at
a vast increase in the number of Ger.
man submarines so employed.
What the Figures Show.
During the period In question the
following are the figures of ships
which have arrived and sailed from
ports in the United Kingdom:
Date February 1 to February IA:
Arrivals-British, 4,053; Allied, 227;
neutral, 497; total, Att.
"Sailings-British, 1928; Allied,

Loss Is Small.
ut should be remembered, however,
that totals of arrivals and departures
do not include fishing vessels, coast
wise and local coastwise traffic, nor
craft of under 100 tons burden. Omit
ting these and comparing totals Of
those sunk with the totals of the ar
rivals and departures, it is interest.
ing to note that the widely advertised
campaign on the high seas which Ger.
many has embarked has resulted in
a loss of less than one ship for every
100 which has arrived or left British
ports during the two weeks from Feb.
ruary 1 to February A."
