Wee Norwegian Maiden Rescued From Sea By German Submarine Has Thousand Thrills Aboard Sea-Raider

COPENHAGEN, via London, Feb. 20.-Solveg Jacobsen, the six year old daughter of a Norwegian shipmaster. who has arrived here with her par ents on the way to Norway. has the distinction of not only being the first child to make voyage on a German submarine. but of being the guest dur ing the eight day trip of the submar- inc commander, who is declared to have sunk the Lusitania. Solveg's father, Isaac Jacobsen, was master of the Norwegian ship Thor II. which was sunk by the submarine. The U- boat lowed the ships boats with the crew of 2S toward land for a while and finally left them to shift for them selves, but the commander retained the commander, his wife and child on the submarine while he continued the cruise
 The operations. however. were of short duration, for the next ship en- countered proved to be laden with ammunition for France The sub marine was so shaken by the terrific explosion when the steamer was tor pedoed and by an encounter with a British destroyer, which all but sank the U-boat by ramming. that one of it's engines was put out of comwission and the commander determined Co make for his home port for repairs.

LONDON, Feb. 20.- Frederick C. enna is said by Reuters Amsterdam correspondent to have delivered to the Austro-Hungarian foreign minis ter a request for a clear and final definition of Austria-Hungary' atti- tude regarding submarine warfare. i. The Amsterdam dispatch says. that according to a telegram from Vienna, MT. Penfield handed an aide memoire today to the foreign office requesting clear and official statement as to the standpoint the AustroHungarian government has assumed regarding submarine warfare and whether the assurances given on the occasion of the Ancona and Persia incidents are to be regarded as changed or with drawn.
 The foreign ministry, the dispatch says. will submit the aide memoire to a thorough examination and then make q reply.
 BERLIN. Feb. 20. (via Londonl- While the official text of the memnr- andum handed by Ambassador Pen field to the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister is not yet known here. the purpose of the note apparently is well understood.

 The submarine hastily submerged. sending a torpedo at the steamer be- fore going under. An appalling ex- plosion followed.

Wilson's Plan Is to Avoid Spe- cial Session at All Costs, Heretofore Customary at inaugurations. WILL BE TOUGH ON
 VICE PRESIDENT Takes Away All the Pomp of His Inauguration, Usually Participated in by Congress and Courts.
CBv Review Leased Wirel

(By Review Leased Wire)
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Pres-
 ident Wilson is considering break
 ing another precedent of more
 than hundred years standing by
 not calling the customary special
 session of the senate immediate.
 ly after the beginning of his new
 term.
 Inauguration arrangements, al-
 ready much upset by the fact that
 March q falls on Sunday. may be
 further disarraneed by the aban-
 donment of the special session
 which in measure would change
 entirely the method of ceremon-
 ies of inaueuratinq the vice-presi-

 To Avoid Extra Session
 The Presidents purpose. as under stood at the Capitol. is to, avoid a spe- cial session unless an extraordinary session of the whole congress is ne- cessary al the same time. The sen ate called in special session as is the custom to confirm appointments of cabinet members and others, would be powerless to legislate 10 any pur- pose alone. hut there would be nOth- ing to prevent the body from remain ing in session as long as 1t pleased and discussing any subject it chose. The understanding al the Capitol to- day was that such a situation was 10 he avoided if possible
 Tough on Marshall
 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 of congress, the diplomatic corps, the supreme court and other dignitaries. IL would eliminate exactly One-half of the orig inal ceremony of inauguration day. Nice-PIesident Marshall pointed out today that under the constitution he could take the oath of office and file notice with the secretary of the sen ate any time before March 1. and then if he chose, take another oath at the formal ceremonies March ,.
