WASHINGTON Dec 27-The sink
ing Of the Japanese steamship Nasaka
Maru will be made the subject of dip
lomatic negotiations by the United
States if lit is established that an
American citizen was on board. when,
as described in official advices re
ceiyed today a submarine of un-
known nationality torpedoed the yes
see without warning. This became
known tonight after the state depart
mcnt had officially announced that it
had no record of an American pass
port having been granted to W. J.

has been called in consular and press
dispatches an American citizen
Should it develop that Leigh actu-
ally is an American citizen the state

rinc. II is considered practically Ger
tain, however, that the craft was Aus
trian. as it is said in Teutonic quarters
here that there were no German or
Turkish submarines operating in the
Mediterranean near where the NaSaka
Maru was attacked.
State department officials are await
ing information in regard to Leigh
with considerable anxiety. If he is
entitled to the protection Of the
United States. the fact that he was
aboard the liner undoubtedly win
complicate the negotiations with Aus
tria over the sinking Of the Italian
steamer Ancona.
There have been no developments
in the Ancona incident, and none are
expected before the reply of the for
eign office is received, probably some
time this week Officials here do not
seek To minimize the seriousness Of the
situation as there has been no indica-
tion that Austria will accede to the
American demands on the contrary.
d strong intimation has come from
an authoritative source that the reply
may not meet with the approval of the
United States.
In Vienna the view apparently is
rather optimistic, according to conf

by large campaign map, which was car
ried In the machine, the party made many
stops to confer with district leaders in
Frankford and Tacony, which have been
organized under the leadership Of Mrs
FRANK Shuman, conditions were found
particularly favorable.
But the best part of the journey was
when, after hard three-hour campaign,
the auto was stopped at the side of the
road on the outskirts of Tacony and the
party under the leadership of Mrs.
George A. Plersol dsmounted and spread
their picnic luncheon under large tree
In the midst of an open field For more
than an hour the whirlwlnd campaigners
enjoyed the open country which is I'm
the city limits, and then the campaign
was continued into Byberry and the ad.
jacent parts of the 35th Ward.
The tour today is one of number of
such which have been planned to cover
the outskirts of Philadelphia during tho
summer months. Accompanying Mrs
Piersol were Miss Estelle Russell, suf-
frage organizer Mrs. joseph p Ball.
