Washington. Feb. \ 10. Secretary
Lansing announced today that he had
sent to the Austro Hungarian govern
ment, thru Ambassador Penfleld, a dis
patch asking for an investigation and
an explanation Of the attack by an
Austrian submarine on the American
tank steamer Petrolite.
Tho secretary said published reports
that demands had been made upon the
Vienna government were mot true" but
that it was within the range Of possi-
bility that demands of some sort migh hi
be made in the future sould the in
vestigation and explanation asked war
rant them.
Robbed Of Food.
The secretary's dispatch called at
tention to affidavits from members OF
the crew of the Petrolite and to infor-
nation from other sources to the effcut
that the ship was stopped in the Ned
iterranean near Alexandria by an AUS
trlan submarine, which fired upon her
and wounded one man in her engine
room. t..
The submarine commander asked for
food which Captain Thompson. of the
Petrolite, refused. He thereupon sent
a boarding party on the American ship
and removed one member Of the Amer
lean crew who was held as a hostage
while the Austrians took the food they
required from the Petrolites stores.
Novel questions are involved in the
case. Warships under. certain stress
may take food from merchantmen II
they give proper receipts or make pay
mont. but it Is realized that II subma-
rines are to be permitted to do SO every
neutral ship might be made base fol
their operations.

{ tSAlthos 1t has been realized Aeince the
facts In the Petrolite care reached the
state department that the United States
would have to seek some form of repa-
ration and reputation of the offense,
great surprise was caused by the news
that Mr.. Lansing, secretary Of state,
had affixed his signature to the pro-
test, hardly twenty-four hours after
announcement Of the "substantiaP'
settlement with Germany in the Lusi-
tania case. The fact was considered
prophetic OF the attitude to be main
tanned toward these powers by the
United States
Those Teutonic sympathizers who
were seizing upon the Lusitania settle
ment as incontrovertible proof that
friction between the United States and
the central powers was at an end were
particularly taken aback by the news
that new protest had gone forth to-

GET RID OF THE SQUEAKS
Annoying Noises That Are Frequent
Even In the eest-Buit Houses
5 Can Be Stopped.

There are very few houses which
do not have floors that are always
squeaking as persons walk over them.
Such squeaking is very annoying, and
many different suggestions have been
made to remedy the nuisance but Gu.
riously enough, only a few of the sug-
gestions have proven Of any real
value.
Many persons think the squeaking 10
caused by the flooring boards not be-
Ing properly nailed, but in most cases
this is not the case at all.
The tongues and grooves of the mar
row boards do not always fit togeth-
er exactly tight, and little pressure
on either side of the crack and be-
tween Joints, where the boards are.
nailed. will cause the boards to spring
slightly causing the dsagreeable.
equeaking sounds.
The best remedy for a squeaky floor
Is to apply little liquid glue to the
cracks. This can be done by dipping
thin strip Of metal in the glue and
inserting carefully in the crack at the.
point from which the sound comes.
A knife blade can be used to ap-
ply the glue. Simply dip the point
In the glue and insert in the crack.
Move the blade about slightly to re-
move the glue and make it stick to the
flooring, where it will dry in a short
time and stop the squeaking.
