Rome, Dec. 14.-Italy has reiterated
her urgent protest against forcible re-
moval of G. A Richardson, the British
consul at Hodeida, from the Italian
consulate, where he had taken refuge,
and for his immediate liberation.
1t is understood that Germany has
advised the Constantinople govern
ment to satisfy Italy's demand and
thus avoid complications.
The foreign minister also has asked
the Ottoman government to give pub
lie satisfaction to Italy for the viola
ton of the consulate.

THREATENS THE u. S.
cARRANzA SAWS IF AMERICANS
FIRE ACROSS BORDER LINE IT
WILL BE UNFRIENDLY ACT.
PUTS BLAME ON VILLA FORCE
Commander of the constitutionaIIsts
Says That the Act of Firing Across
Border Would Be an Invasion of
Mexican Territory.

Vera Cruz, Mex, Dec. 15.-'If the
United States employs force to stop
the firing by Mexicans across the in
ternational boundary line at Naco, it
will be considered an unfriendly act,
notwithstanding the friendly motives
cloaking the act"
In this manner General Carranza
press to the formal notice served by
the United States on both Provisional
President Gutierrez and General Car
ranza that unless such firing ceased
force would be employed to protect
American territory
At no time since the receipt of Sec
rotary Bryan's note, in which atten-
ton was called to the repeated wound
ing and killing of resident of the
town on the northern side of the line,
has General Carranza appeared per-
turbed, but he has. had long confer
ences with those close to him and, in
in framing his reply, it is said, he has
been careful not to let himself remain
in any uncertain light.
General Hill, who is commanding
the constitutionalist forces at Naco, is
on the defensive" continued General
Carranza, and since his back was to
the line it is difficult to see how he
could be responsible for the firing in
question. The fact liz that Maytorena's
men have been the attacking party
and there is appears reasonably clear
that they and only they, could have
been to blame
II remember similar instances at Ell
Paso, when the Maderista forces were
attacking there. In that case those
shot were, for the most part, the i'm
prudent and curious individuals who
flocked to witness the lighting as if it
for their benefit.
GAS to the use of force, of which Mr..
Bryan talks, that is something, the
gravity of which, l fear he does not
fully appreciate. He says it would not
mean an invasion of our territory nor
a violation of our national sovereignty.
1t would. And, moreover, it would GER
tainly be an act directly against the
constitutionalists who now hold the
town, and in favor of the Villa forces,
who would be left free to continue
their operations It would be simply
tying General Hills hands and leav-
ing Maytorena free.
Il sincerely hope that the good
friendship of the American people to-
ward the Mexican people will prevent
tho contamination of Secretary
Pryan's threat"
Washington, Dec. 15.-General Car
ranza's reply to the warning from
she United States government that
force would be used if necessary to
stop, firing into American territory by
belligerent Mexican factions reached
the state department but will not be
made public until later. Secretary
Bryan said he did not know the
nature Of the reply, as the message
came in code and had not been de-
ciphered.
