PREPARING NOTE
PETR0L|TE CASE
WITH AUSTRIA
United States to Stand by Its
Original Contentious and Ask
Apology and Reparation for
Damages

Washington. March 1.-THE United
States is preparing 20 make formal de-
mands upon Austria Hungary as a re-
suit Of the attack by an Austrian sub
marine upon the American tank steam
e. Petrolite. A note or the subject will
be dispatched within the next few
days.
1t was authoritatively stated Satur-
day night that the United States would
ask an apology for the attack, punish
ment Of the submarine commander and
reparation for damage done to the YES
sci and injuries inflicted on member
Of the crew who was hit by q 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 Pctro-
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 COM
mander Of the Petrolite voluntarily
furnished provisions when asked to
do SO.
The State Department since has &C.
cured additional information from the
captain and crew OF the Petrolite di-
rectly contradictory to the Austrian
version. They have declared in affida =
Wits that the Petrolite was stopped in
the Mediterranean b. an Austrian sub
marine which fred Il number Of shells
at her; that the submarine command
er asked for food which the command
er Of the Petrolite refused to give him !:
and that the commander OF the sub
marine then held one OF the members
of the tankers crew as a hostage.
while his men went aboard the ship
and took such stores as they desired.

JOHNSON OPPOSES
ATHLETICS TODAY
Manager Griffith Confident
Team Will Hold Lead in Race
While in Philadelphia.
HARRY HARPER is SLATED
FOR SECOND, TOMORROW
Nationals Outfelders to Be Switch
ed to Overcome Handicap of
Southpaw Pitching.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

The Griffmen, with Manager Clark
Griffith at their head. left for Philadel-
phia at 1908 o'clock this morning, ar
riving there shortly after | o'clock.
Manager Griffith left Jameson Jim
Shaw and Eddie Charity at home. not
believing they would be of any use for
if any of them should be needed it
would be but a question of few
hours to get them to report.
Walter johnson is slated to pitch
today. and no doubt Harry Harper will
face the Mackmen tomorrow.
While Manager Griffith would not
predict a clean sweep over the Ath-
letics. he is confident he will return
with the team still in first place.
The team now is playing better ball
than it has at any time this spring,
said Griffith. "and | look for it to set
a fast pace hereafter. Our recent win
ming streak has not been a fluke. and
that will be proved by subsequent vic
tories. I am sure the team will hold
its present position in the race and
increase it's advantage when it gets
back on its own grounds.
If Walter johnson wins his game to-
day it will be his fifth victory of the
season. He is charged with but one
defeat. and he is likely to lead all the
American League pitchers this season
in the matter of victories and percent
age of earned runs made off him.
johnson is in the best form that he
has enjoyed in several years, and the
club which beats him will have to shut
out the Nationals and be lucky enough
to get run itself
The Nationals will play the Jersey
Iar
This game was arranged for by Man :
ager Grifith on the last eastern TRIP,
and will net the club a handsome sum.
as the games with big league CLUBS on
Sundays always are well attended.
Larry I.ajoie distinguished himself
yesterday by hitting home run. whlcn
