Baron Zweidenek Austrian charge d' affaires, today pre-ented Secretary of State Lansing with a communication from Vienna, whi-e it is understood complicates instead of alleviates the frituatum existing between Austria and the United State?. Although neither Zweidenek nPr i-Ansirig would discuss the matter, in timation was had that the note mant- fosts disinclination to accede to the American demands. Punishment of the submarine com mander responsible for the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona was under stood to b the chief obstacle in the way of adjustment of the differences with Austria. So far as disavowal of csponsJbility and promise of Indemn ity are concerned, .Austrian sources here say Austria can yield and sflll maintain her prestige at home. Btft even a reprimand of a successful of ficer for obeying orders, it was point ed out would have a bad effect. Taaaka Attack Invaatig-ated. Austria feels, it is said, that she cannot grant the request in the manner desired by the United States, and i-on-ferences now in progress here will be devoted to this particular phase of the case. Secretary of State Lansing today ordered American consuls In Europe to secure all possible information regard ing the sinking of the Japanese liner Yasaka Maru. If official reports confirm that an Au.-trian submarine made the attack, further correspondence with Vienna is deemed probable. Threats that Japan will send troops to Kurope were made here today by officials of Uie Japanese embassy In commenting on the torpedoing of the Yasaka Maru. "A single instance, however," said one official, "will not cause Japan to send troops to Kurope. But if a cam paign against Japanese shipping is launched. Japan will participate active ly on land."
