TWO KNOWN TO BE DEAD
AND MANY ARE INJURED
J apanese Liner
Was Torpedoed
Without Warning

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-American
Consul Bristow at Port Said. cabled to-
day that no warning was given the
japanese liner Yasaka Maru before
she WAS torpedoed and sunk in the
Mediterranean last Tuesday by a sub
marine of unestablished nationality
The liner. he added. made no attempt
TO escape
The consufs despatch which came
IN response TO Secretary Lansing's call
for reports on the disaster. was the
hrst Official information on the Incl
dent which probably will be the sub
lect OF further diplomatic correspon-
dence with the Teutonic powers.
Today's report said the submarine
was not seen until after the liner had
been torpedoed and that then only her
periscope was visible. The ship sank
IN forty-nine minutes and the surviv-
ors-12O passengers. including an
American. W. J. Leigh. and the 162
men OF the crew-were picked up by
French cruiser and landed at Port
Said. from where the first reports of
the sinking came last week.
The general assumption Is that the
submarine must have been German or
Austrian. Renewed efforts will be
mdde 10 determining It's nationality
and Instructions 10 that effect prob
ably will be sent out today by the
state department lf IL can gather the
necessary Information on which to
proceed. the United States Is prepared
10 include the incident i'm its diplo-
matte negotiations against the sinking
- noncombatant ships without warn
ing.
Ihe outcome of the Yasaka Maru
ease Is generally regarded BY officials
and diplomats here as surrounded
with wide possibilities regarding ia
pans future course i'm the war. II
has been suggested that she might
answer the challenge 20 her shipping
by a wide participation in the war.
even to the extent of taking part in
the operations in Europe.

As German has already given assur-
ances that her submarine command
