AUSTRIA WILL INVESTIGATE
 ATTACK
Washington Receives Infor- nation that Austrian Reply to Petrolite Note Awaits Investigation of Matter.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - lntima- tions have reached the State Depart rent that Austria had decided to in- vestigate the circumstances of the sub marine attack upon he American tank CT Petrolite before replying to the re- cent note of the United States asking an explanation of the incident.
 Consequently the reply is not ex- pected for some time in the light of the experience in the case of the An coma, because of the difficulty in com municating with commanders of sub marines cruising in the Mediterranean From the American viewpoint, admit ting the right of submarine to halt the Petrolite, even by force. if it per sisted in flight after warning. there is absolutely no warrant in international law for action 'requisitioning food and other supplies from the ship. There is strong objection to the as- sertion of right by the Austrian sub marine commander to remove mem Der of the crew of an American ship as done in the case of the Petrolite.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The pres ident and Mrs Wilson left on cruise down the Potomac on the naval yacht Mayflower. during which he will con slider the selection of successor to Garrison. He expects to return Sun day night or Monday morning. Ad- visors said the president wanted to reach a decision quickly Probably he will send his nomination to the senate early next week. It is unlikely a successor to Assistant Secretary Beckinridge will be named until the new secretary is consulted

Harmon. Walsh. Colonel House. former Mayor Baker of Cleveland, Senators Stone, Cham. berlain. Representative Hay and seve- ral other members of congress.
 The president is said to be desir- ous of naming man already in touch with the military situation, who will immediately assume direction of the department where Secretary Garrison left off
 Friends intimate he may choose a person not yet publicly mentioned. He spetn several hours going over the qualifications of men already mention ed. The Cabinet met. but the Presi- dent did not seek advice on the sub iect After attending dinner in his honor by Postmaster General Burleson the president boarded the Mayflower. Beckinridge was at the War depart ment short time today. Later he left with his wife for short stay at Jamestown Island. His friends expect him to return to Lexington to resume practice of law.
 It is said that he might identify him self with a national defense campaign for a time.

Garrison's Resignation Ap- pears to Have Cleared Way for Closer Union Between President and Congress
WILSON'S CONFIDENCE
 INSPIRES LAWMAKERS
Desired Number of Recruits May be ObtainabIe Under Pending Legislation; Op- posing Elements Paci6ed-

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.--A new note of harmony and cooperation on national defense problems was struck in the House. Military Committee as a direct result of the resignation of Secretary Garrison. It found expres- sion in the adoption of resolution -declaring the committees apprecia- ton of the confidence the President had reposed in it and in the Senate committee as disclosed in his cores pondence with Secretary of War Gar rison. The non-partisan character feel ing is emphasized by the fact that the resolution was offered by Kahn of California, ranking Republican member of the committee.
 Members of both congressional com mittees declared the war secretary's withdrawal brought out sharply the Presidents desire that Congress should work out it's army problems in light of it's own best judgment. de- spite his personal preference for the continental army scheme advocated by Garrison and the war college. The next result they added was the clari- fication Of the congressional atmos- phere and assurance of support for bills that will be drafted from ele- ments on both sides that heretofore had been counted against the fea- sure.
 In substance. it is believed. the bills will represent an effort to make ef- fective virtually all plans of the War Department with the exception of the liberalization of the National Guard to be sought as substitute for the Continental Army plan. The House bill is expected to provide payment of National Guardsmen who comply with all regulations laid down by Congress on a basis sufficiently liberal to in sure recruiting of approximately i0o.- 100 men, the ultimate size of the proposed Continental Army
