Concern Felt at Embassy in
Washington That Act May
Cause Participation
in War.
OFFICIALS HOLD REPETITION
WOULD CAUSE PROMPT ACTION
AttaChe Says if Oriental Ship
ping Is Made Part of At
taCkS His Nation Will
Join In.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24-The
state department today began Official
investigation of the sinking of the
Japanese Yasaka Maru. on which an
American citizen was a passenger,
by an Austrian or German subma-
rine in the Mediterranean. Cable
grams were sent to consular officers
, at Mediterranean ports in the local
ity where the boat was sunk urging
them TO obtain all facts bearing on
the case and report Immediately to
Washington.
Concern is felt at the Japanese
embassy over the possibility that the
submarine attack on the vessel may
force Japan into active participation
in the war on the side of the allies.
Repetition May Start Action.
While officials of the embassy did
not believe that the tOrpedoing Of
the Yasaka Maru in itself was suffi-
cient justification 10 induce Japan
TO participate in the European cam
paign, il was definitely. stated that
a repetition would urge the mika
dos government 70 prompt action.
Hirosha Saito, attache of the
japanese embassy, was frank in dis
cussing the probable effect on the in
cident on Japan's plans.
"I do not believe the sinking Of
the Yasaka Maru alone will force
Japan into the war on the land side" "
he said. ''but if il develops that this
is a part of a general program of
submarine attacks on Japanese
shipping. then the Japanese govern
ment certainly will act"
japan Active Only I'm East.
Japan's activity. Mr.. Saito explain
ed. had been confined To reducing
the German forts at Tsingtau. and
driving the Germans from Chinese
territory and the treaty agreement
with Great Britain. There had been
no serious intention on the part of
Japan to participate further in the
war unless in defensive measures.
1t is known in Washington diplo-
matte circles, however. that the
greatest pressure has been brought
to bear to induce Japanese to send
land forces to aid the allies. These
efforts il is understood in Washing
ton. have been redoubled since the
Germans and Turks have opened
their campaign against the Suez
canal. Loss of the canal by Great
Britain. Japan's ally, would mean a
heavy trade loss to Japan Diplo-
mats believe that this situation, ag-
gravated by the torpedoing of the
Japanese liner. may force Japan's
hand.
The lack Of information Of any
kind to establish definitely the ma
tionality of the submarine that at
tackled the Yasaka Maru has pre-
vented the state department from
asking information of either Ger
many or Austria.
