WASHINGTON, March 5.-The

Austrian submarine upon the Amer.
ican tank steamer Petrolite. A note
on the subject will be dispatched

ask an apology for the attack.
punishment of the submarine COM
manders and reparation for the dam
age done to the vessel and injuries
inflicted on member of the crew,
who was hit by a piece of she'll.
The First Reply.
In reply to the first American communi-
cation on the subject, Austria informed
the State department that its version OF
the affair was that the submarine COM
mander thought the Petrolite an enemy
ship disguised with the American flag;
that he fired on the vessel because he
y believed 1t was about to ram his ship, and
|. that the commander of the Petrolite
voluntarily furnished provisions when
asked to do so.
he State department since has secured
,S1hformation from the captain and crew
OF the Petrolite directly contradictory Ia
the Austrian version. They have declared
in affidavits that the Petrolite was
stopped In the Mediterranean by an Aus.
trian submarine which fired a number OF
shells at it; that the sumbarine COM
mander asked for food, which the com.
mander OF the Petrolite refused to give
him, and that the commander OF the sub
marine then, held one OF the members OF
the tanker's crew as hostage while hi
men went aboard the ship and took suei
stores as they desired.

VERDUN BATTLE
STILL is A DRAW
Germans Chamber Over Piles Of Dead
Comrades in Assaults on
3 French.
ADVANTAGE OF SURPRISE LOST

PARIS, March St is stated
semi-officially that the battle at
verdVn continued yesterday through
out the day with the same intensity
and without causing an change in
the respective positions OF the OPP
posing armies. Fighting Is still
going on for definite possession Of
the village OF Douaumont.
The situation, as result of this
second phase fthe German of
fensive is regarded as altogether
different from that of. the first days
battle. The only progress made by
the Germans, was during the first
two days OF the second attack. For
the last forty-elght hours 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 advantage Of
surprise and also because the ground has
been. torn up to such an extent that It
cannot be organized properly.
Great Numbers of Dead.
This information from semi-ofticial
sources points out that it must be de-
moraiiEing to the Germans 20 see some
1000 to 5000 eorpses or their comrades
lying before the French lines
Reinforcements brought up by the Ger
mans since the inauguration OF the Sec
ond phase Of the battle on Wednesday
are estimated here at $4,000 men. raising
the total forces utilized by the assailants
10 more than 10000. Estimates OF losses
show wide variance. Details Of local ac-
tons and the size OF the reserves brought
UP cause French observers 10 make the
assertion that the Germans have paid a
very heavy price for the six square miles
OF ground they have gained
In front OF the village OF vaux alone
1000 German corpses were counted after
the eighth unsuccessful attempt. This
part OF the battle, although overshadowed
BY the fight for Douaumont Is regarded
In Paris as a serious check for the at
tackers.
Climb over Fallen Comrades.
The Germans carried on the assault
with great courage until the dead lay
thick on the field. Then the officers. It
Is said. were compelled to urge on the
troops as they clambered over the corpses
OF their fallen comrades for the last as
saults.
The attack on Vaux began on the eve
ming OF March 2. after furious shelling
and continued until the following night
Columns of Germans advancing stimuli
taneously from the north and northwest
tried TO envelope the village. French ar

SIX Regiments Advance.
The survivors, undainted resolutely
stormed the French trenches and fought
hand-to-hsnd in fierce melees az the out
skirts OF the village. The bitterest fight

which was obvious. The Germans charged

today, turning into snow as was the
case on the fourth day OF the battle.
French Are Confident.
Firmness OF French bonds on the
hourse yesterday and today, reflects the
confidence which is felt here In the out
come OF the great struggle. e.
The determination of the German at
tacks on the village OF Douaumont are
explained BY the strategic advantage OF
the height to the south held by the
French barring the way to the bastion
and fort. The village itself, composed OF
about nfty houses now Is only smok-
ing ruins 1t Is dominated. together with
the ravines at the foot OF the advanced
bastions OF the fort. by the French bat

mans come TO the clearing from the
woods and ravines they are Immediately
exposed TO a CALLING fire.
