AUSTRIA EXPECTED
To MAKE APOLOGY
UNITED STATES ASKS REPARA-
TiON FOR ATTACK ON AMERi-
CAN STEAMER PETROLlTE.
VIII Demand an Apology for the At
tack, Punishment Of the Submarine
Commander, and Reparation for
the Damage Done.

Washington.-The United States Is
preparing to make formal demands
upon Austria Hungary as a result Of
the attack by an Austrian submarine
upon the American tank steamer Pc
trolite. A note on the subject will be
dispatched within a few days.
1t was authoritatively stated Satur-
day night that the United States would
stand by its original contention and
ask an apology for the attack, punish
ment of the submarine commander,
and reparation for the damage done
to the vessel and injuries inflicted on
a member Of the crew who was hit by
a piece of shell.
In reply to the first American COM
munication on the subject, Austria in
formed the state department that its
version of the affair was that the sub
marine commander thought the Petro-
lite an enemy ship disguised with the
American flag; that he fired on the
vessel because he believed it was
about to ram his ship, and that the
commander of the Petrolite voluntar.
lily furnished provisions when asked to
do SO.
The state department since has Sc
cured information from the captain
and crew Of the Petrolite directly con-
Trajectory to the Austrian version
They have declared in affidavits that
the Petrolite was stopped in the Med
iterranean by an Austrian submarine,
which fired number of shells at her; /;
that the submarine commander asked
for food. which the commander of the
Petrolite refused to give him, and that
the commander of the submarine then
held one Of the members of the tank
er's crew as hostage while his men
went aboard the ship and took such
stores as they desired.

A Wilson Tariff
Commission.

Representative Barnhart o! In,
diana ent to the White House
with All idea. AS he came away
he could hear from the Presidents
room the echoing words. "The
idea"
Mr.. Barnhart's idea was devel-
opcd IN connection with the
discussion OF a tariff commission.
lht n Dosler statesman recognizes
that II tariff commission can do
othing except to investigate and
report-to somebody. That some
body, naturally, should be the
Congress, which body alone has
the authority to make tariff
changes; and it is Mr.. Barnhart' 5
idea that he tariff board should
be directly responsible to Con
gress. To make this idea effective
and to give to the board that
mon partisan" quality whit h
has been desired for it, MIR. Barn
hart proposed that each leat ing
party in the Senate and in the
House should name one member
of the board and that the Pres :
dent should appoint fifth.
The President would have none
OF this, however. He Insists that
| il tariff commission is to be set
up, he shall have the naming of
every one OF the men who shall
compose il. In other words,
Wilson wants Wilson tariff
commission. This is in line with
his whole career. At Prince
town he made it Il point, when
ever a trustee OF the Universit y
Was to be chosen, to put forward
a Wilson man for the place: simi-
tarly, when an officer OF instruc-
tion-down to the lowest tutor
was to be selected, he took pains
to get a Wilson man on the job.
He never appointed committee
OF the Princetown faculty that he
did not stuff it with the majority
of Wilson supporters. AS Presl
dent of the United States he has
pursued the same course. He
intends to put none but Wilson
men on guard. Congressman
Barnhart would make up the
tariff board with somt regard tC
the spirit of the Constitution
and to the proprietIes OF the
occasion Wilson would make il
up to suit his own sweet will.

Stevens Bill is of
Great Importance.

About 215 members of the low
Ell House of Congress have gone
on record IN favcr of the Stevens
bill, and its passage appears al.
most assured. Notwithstanding
this fact there have been no hear
ings on the bill, and the Commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign
Affairs, which should be the
tribunal for preliminary argum-
ents, since the measure was
referred to it, has been inactive.
/ lie friends OF the measure have
smoked out the opposition, and
now the price-cutting department
stores and mail order houses have
combined with the trading stamp
people III an open rganization,
and are in the fight. This rather
clears the atmosphere, since it
has been plain to the merchants
III small towns for many years,
that the cutting of prices on
nationally advertised goods, has
been great trick hy which the
business of the small town has
been drawn to the large cities.
Price regulation, rs provided for
in the Stevens Bill, is most cert
ainly in the interests of the small
town, the small mercant and the
consumer. The President and
the Department of Commerce
spoke out IN behalf of price regul

GERMANS FAIL TO
GAIN At VEROUN
SUSTAIN TERRIBLE Los S e s
CHARGES AGAINST ALLIES.
Charge Again and Again With Grim
Determination and Soldiers Still
Hope to Break Through Lines,
Then on to Paris.

The furious assault upon Verdun by
the Germans continues, after a week
of the most desperate fighting, in
which, according to all reports, both
sides have suffered heavy losses.
The Germans claim that they are
advancing as rapidly as could be ex-
pected, and that they will yet beat
back the allied forces, and then ION
to Paris" will again be the slogan of
the German soldiers.
From Paris comes the declaration
that the Germans in their assaults at
Verdun are using several sorts of
burning liquid projectors. One Of
these is in the form of small tank
which is carried ON the back and is
filed with composition liquid which
seems to be mostly kerosene. At
tached to the nozzle is an igniting ap-
paratus. The liquid is projected by
means of a hand pump. The radius
of action of the oil depends upon the
skill and the physical effort of the
man who projects it, but it is ordi-
narily from sixty to ninety feet.
Some French soldiers have been
burned to crisp by the flaming liquid.
Other chemical weapons used by the
Germans in this battle include as
phyXiating shells, vapors which irri
tate the eye, and incendiary shells.
1t is stated semi-officially at Paris
that the situation as a result of this
second phase of the German offensive
is regarded as altogether different
from that of the first days of the bat
tie. The only progress made by the
Germans was during the first two
days of the second attack. For the
last few days they have not advanced
The comparison also is in favor of
the French by reason of the fact that
the Germans now have lost the ad-
vantage Of surprise and because the
ground has been torn up to such an
extent that it canrpt be organized
properly.
This Information from semi-offcial
sources points out that it must be
demoralizing to the Germans to see
some 10000 to $4,000 corpses of their
comrades lying before the French
lines.
In front of the village of Vaux alone
1000 German corpses were counted
after the eighth unsuccessful attack.
This part of the battle, though over
shadowed by the fight for Douamont,
is regarded in Paris as serious check
/ for the attackers. The Germans car
ried on the assault with great courage
until the dead lay thick on the field.
An account of the present situation
around Verdun, written by Lord
| Northcliffe, is published in the London
! Times. The writer believes the con-
/ flicrthere has not yet reached the eli
1 max of intensity and that the Ger
mans will face even greater losses
and resort to new expedients before
accepting repulse.
Nevertheless, Lord Northcliffe' s
] viewpoint is optimistic. He dilates on
| the slightness of the French losses as
compared with those of the Germans
/ The German losses he estimates al
100000 men.
