STATE DEPARTMENT WARNS GARRANZA SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES MAY FOLLOW CONFISCATION OF FOREIGN-OWNED WELLS. MAKES AN URGENT PROTEST Bent My British Ambassador to tha British Conaul at Vara Crux for General Carranza. Washington?The United States Government has warned Gen. Venustl aoo Carranza that "serious conse quences may follow" his threatened confiscation of foreign-owned oil plants In Tamplco This announcement was made by Secretary Bryan to day af ter a conference with 8lr Cecil Sprlng Blce, the British Ambassador and rep resentatives of the American oil oon eerns. Already the Oarrahza officials have enforced a virtual embargo on the exportation of oil by a big English eompany.. The British Ambassador at Mr. Bryan's suggestion, sent to the British Consul at Vera Cruz an urgent pro test for General Carranza. As the British fleet obtains much of its fuel fropt the Tamplco oil fields, the pos sibility of serious complications over Carranza'* attitude is fully realized by the American government. Mr. Bryan said that the foreign owned oil companies "feared confisca tion of their wells" by Carranza and that today's action had been taken to forestall such action. A decree is sued by the Csrranza government makes It Impossible for some foreign oil companies to operate without the consent of the Carranza authorities and it la said some American con cerns have been forced to pay so heavy a tax that they have been com pelled to shut down. The prospect of a battle on the outskirts of Tamplco Is expected here to develop the situation further. If ' Villa forces are victorious, a solution of the problem Is confidently expected because of previous assurances by the ; VlHa Gutierrez officials. : .? ? ' j EVERY BUILDING DESTROYED. ' " 1 Only 2 or S Par Cant, of Avazzano'a 1 Poupulation Eaeapad. < Rom*.?William Marconi who re- ' turned here from Aveziano on board 1 the train with King Victor Emmanuel. 1 said words could not describe the hor- ' , rors he had witnessed. The town had ' j been wholly leveled, he said, and res idents who escaped death were destl- ' tote. ;? "King Victor Emmanuel told me." 1 said Mr. Marconi, "that he had visited ' the scenes of all earthquake disasters ' In Italy since he was a child, but that ' this supassed ail. Including Messina. The king said survivors of Avezzano ' were only between two and three per 1 cent of Its population, while in Mes- ' eino one-third escaped. Describing the damage In Avezzano ' Mr. Marconi eaid: 1 "Avezzano has ceased to exist. In ' Messina some buildings give one the 1 impression that they are still Intact, tbelr facades having survived the shock. * "Not so with, Avezzano. No wall ' there remains erect. It seemed as ' though the town had been ground to J powder by some gigantic machine." j Nation Unready For Fight. ! Washington.?In urging upon the , senate the need for a commission to report on national preparedness or ] a permanent council of naval de- ? fense. Senator Lodge declared that the national defense of the country "is not only imperfect and unbalanced but that It has grave and in some In- ' stances fatal deficiencies. "He desig nated what he termed many of the defect and said theiy were "almost ' wholly due to congress." ? An adequate national defense the 1 senator said, could be obtained 1 without additional expenditure. "Cut ' Off our needless army posts, navy * yards and stations," he advised the ' senate. ' "Lay aside for a few years ap propriations for the public buildings ' and river and harbor imorovements 1 where they are not needed. Drop all ' the expenditures which are designed ' for spots where votes are lying thick- 1 est and you will have money enough ' to provide for a "sufficient army and 1 an adequate navy without adding to 1 .the burden of taxation." ' He warned that the ocean harrier that defended the country in 1776 and ' 181J had been destroyed by steam and 1 electricity. Unarmed, unready, un- 1 defended, the nation stands an invita tion to aggression and attack, he said. ' Senator Lodge asserted that not only the regular army, but the militia was highly defective, adding that the Panama Canal was "miserably and most inadequately protected" against being blown up and blocked for months by agents or spies of a hos tile nation. Senator Lodge declared the .at-my was without sufficient artillery and artillery mamunitlon and said avail, able testimony showed that the guns In the fortifications ware of shorter range than those carried by foreign warships of the latest designs. Benator Lodge stated that there was apparently a sufficient number of mines for harbor defense, hut that there was a shortage of cable and mine planters.
