JAPANESE LINER WAS
GIVEN NO WARNING
No IntimatiOn Was Given Boat
That She Was Going to BE-
Fired Upon.
NO EFFORT TO ESCAPE.
Presumed German or Austrian Sub-
marine Sent Vessel DOwn-Nlay
Determine Japan'S Course.

Washington, Dec 27.-American
Consul Bristol al Port Said cabied 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 consuls dispatcn, which came
in response to Secretary Lansing's
call for reports on the disaster, was
the first official information on the
incident which probably will be the
subject of further diplomatic corres-
pondence 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 40 minutes and The survivors
leo passengers including an Amer
lean, w. J.Leish, and the 1872 MEM
bers OF the crew-were picked up by
a French cruiser and landed at Por
Said from where the first reports o.
the sinking came last week.
The general assumption is that the
submarine must have been German
or Austrian. Renewed efforts will be
made to determine its nationality and
instructions to that effect probably
will be sent out today by the state de-
partment
If the department can gather no in
formation on which to proceed, the
United States is prepared to include
the incident in its diplomatic repre-
sentations against the sinking of nom
combatant ships without warning.
The outcome of the YasakG Maru
case is generally regarded by Off
cials and diplomatists here as sur
rounded with wide possibilities re-
garding JGpan's future course in the
war. 1t has been suggested that sha
might answer the challenge to her
shipping by a wide participation in
the war even to the extent of taking
part in the operations in Europe
AS Germany already has given as
surance that her submarine com
mandors were under instruction no.
to attack liners without warninsi
there was disposition to believe tn,
attacking boat was an Austrian. If
that assumption proves true, it -
feared that the situation over the
sinking of the Ancona will be further
cOmnllpatpH and % inl
respondence with Austria will be
broadened to take in the subject of
attack without warning as it did in
the last stages of the negotiations
with Germany.
Unofficial reports of a favorable
reply by the Vienna foreign office to
the last Ancona note have not served
to alter the attitude of the state de-
partment in the Ancona case and
there are direct indications that moth
ing but meeting the demands of the
United States fully will leave diplo-
matte relations between the coun-
tries unimpaired.
The word that the reply will be
guided by concern for the good rela-
tions" between the two countries, off,
cials take it, means that Austria
Hungary probably expects more Dip
'omatic correspondence upon the
subject. The United States 81 disin-
ciined to enter into any such nego-
tiations.

PAY RENT--BUY A NEW HOME
Contractor Parks Has Way to Build
Homes on Easy Payment Plan

Believing that there are many
people in this city and vicinity who
would gladly take up legitimate
proposition whereby they could
quit paying rent and instead apply
such sums as they have been pay
ing for rent as payments on home
of their own, Contractor D. w.
Parks has finally worked out plan
whereby he is able to build home
according 10 plans furnished ty
the prospective purchaser, who is
required to make a small initial
payment, the deferred payments 10
be handled practically the same as
rent, the interest rate on deferred
payments being per cent.
This plan has already interested
number of local people and as
Contractor Parks offer cannot be
kept open indefinitely it would be
we'll for anyone interested to see
him at once and get full particu-
lars and arrange for the immediate
construction of a new home.
There is no man that cannot az
preciate the advantages of owning
home of his own. The monthly
payments you make are not dead
money" At the end of a few
years you have something to show
for your earnings. If you keep on
paying rent you will never have
anything to show for your money
and you will never realize the sat
isfaction of owning your own
home.
Make up your mind to quit pay
ing rent today. See Contractor
Parks and make immediate arrange
ments to build that new home.
