AUSTRIA MUST APOLOGIZE.
UNITED STATES DEMANDS Pun.
ISliMENT OF COMMANDER
AND INDEMNITY FOR
ACT,
sharp Note Concerning Petrolitc In
cident Dispatched to Dual Monarchy
Accuses Submarine. Commander
OF Lying.

Washington, June 28.-The Ameri-
can reJotnder to Austria regarding
the Austrian submarine attack on the
steamer Petrolite, made public today
by the State depa ltment, describes the
act as deliberate insult to the flag
OF the United States and an invasion
OF the rights Of American citizens"
and requests a prompt apology, pun
ishment of the submarine commander
and payment Of an indemnity.
In vigorous language the communi-
cation, sent week ago today, makes
1T clear that the United States gov
eminent, believes the facts of the case
entirely different from what the Aus
rrian submarine commander report
ed them to be and that immediate
amends are expected.
The Austrian claim that the Petro-
iite's captain voluntarily gave up sup
plies taken from the steamer by the
submarine commander is fatty con-
tradicted. as are the claims that
warning shots were fired across the
Petrolite's bow before she was she'll
ed and that her appearance was such
as to justify the submarine comman-
der In mistaking her for a cruiser.
The attack on the Petrolite. a
Standard. Oil tanker, was made in the
Mediterranean December 8. A pro-
test sent soon afterward on prelimi-
nary reports from the tanker's cap
tain and crew brought the Austrian
communication to which the new
American note replies.

Respond to Charges That Core
spondsnes 10 Under convsntIenaI
Stipulation InvieIabIe.
Washington, July 26.-The state de-
partmsnt has informed the British
government that its memorandum on
mails was wholly unsatisfactory to
the United States in meeting the is
sue raised over interference with the
mails.
In acknowledging receipt Of the
memorandum cabled from London,
the state department again served no
tics on Great Britain that It still
awaited q reply to its note of May "a,
which has gone unanswered for two
months.
The memorandum, which was given
to the press by the state department.
Is considered as wholly evading the
principle involved. The memorandum
confines itself almost exclusively to
discussion Of two specific instances,
defends the censors for expeditins
their work of espionage, and adds
that the British government will al
ways be ready to explain in detail the
workings Of the censorship"
State department of1cials declare
they do not need any explanation Of
the workings of the censorship. They
have had sufficient complaints from
American firms whose confidential let
ters were rifed of their contents. 10

activities Of the censors.
What the United States govern
ment wants Great Britain to do is to

able"
The memorandum made public was
accepted as forecast'ug fat denial
OF American demands in the forth,
coming reply to the note Of two
months ago. In response to a request
made several days ago for an imme-
diate reply Great Britain explains that
her reply is withheld pending consul
tation with her allies. In her last
communication Great Britain brought
France into the case, although the
United States has no quarrel with
France whatever over the mails.
Oficials realize. however. that the
United States cannot act with nnality
90 long as the British government
evades the issue, and for that reason
every effort will be made to force that
government to make specific reply to
the principle involved.
