ODESSAL LOST IN
COMMANDMENT

Washington, Oct. 30.-Acting Sec
rotary Lansing today announced re-
ceipt of telegram from the Ameri-
can charge d'affaires at Petrograd
saying Odessa has been bombarded
and some American property destroy
ed.
Secretary Lansing at once called on
the American embassy at Petrograd
to report the exact nature of the
damage to American property. If the
usual "a hours notice of bombardment
was not given, Americans will have
a just claim for damages to all prop
erty which could have been removed.
Destruction of houses or buildings
owned by foreigners, however, are not
regarded as the subject of claims, be-
ing classed as incidents of war to
which aliens subject themselves in
buying foreign property in a foreign
country.
The dispatch which came from
the American consul at Odessa, who
said he would send fuller report
later on the extent Of American prop
erty damaged. He did not say by
whom the bombardment was done, but
it is presumed here that it was Turk

RESIGNATION OF
GEN. CARRANzA
BRINGS TURMOIL
TO CONVENTION

Mexico City. Oct. sO.-The resignation
of Gen. Carranza as provisional presi-
dent and first chief of the Constitutional
army, based on the condition that Gen
erals Villa and Zapata retire to private
life, was read to the peace convention
at Aguascalientes today. In the docu-
ment Gen. Carranza even expressed a
willingness to leave the country If his
absence would tend toward the re-estab-
lshment of peace.
The message caused a turmoil in the
convention hall and at one time specta-
tors tried to intervene and break up the
meeting. Order was finally restored and
business proceeded. What action. If any,
was taken on the resignation was not
known here this evening.
In demanding that Villa and Zapata re-
tire Gen Carranza said:
There is a greater ambition than that
of being President of the republic, and
that is to hold such military omnipotence
as to permit one man to oversay all pow
ers of union. The insistency of Gen. Villa
in keeping command of p division suppos-
ed to be all powerful, and at the same
time pretending TO re-establish at once
constitutional order upon the basis of the
old regime. is a clear indication that the
dream of this chief is to constitute him
self arbiter of the destinies of Mexico.
with the facilities to appoint Congress.
designate a supreme court and rule the
government of all states. l am ignorant
of what the pretentions of Gen. Zapata
are, but believe that they will not differ
greatly from those of Gen. Villa"
He states as the conditions of his re-
tirement the establishment of constitu-
tional government, the retirement of
Gen. Villa to private life and the resig-
nation of General Lapata.

STATE Dept IS TO PROTEST
AGAINST DETENTION OF THE
KR0ONLAND BY GREAT BRITAIN

Washington, Oct. 30.--The state de-
partment has decided to protest to
Great Britain against the detention of
the American steamship Kroonland,
held up at Gibraltar bay with some
100 passengers and a cargo of copper
bound from New York to italian and
Greek ports.
The British authorities will be asked
whether the vessel is held because of
the nature of her cargo, which has
been declared conditional contraband,
servists are among her passengers.
Full information concerning the case
Is lacking, but upon the facts in hand
state department officials take the po-
sition that the ship either should be
released or taken forthwith into a
prize court. 1t is contended here that
the United States has right to de-
mand full protection for American car
goes shipped In American or neutral
bottoms to neutral ports, leaving 1t to
Great Britain to obtain guarantees
the cargoes are consigned that condi-
tional contraband goods will not be
re-exported to belligerent. Italy has
already placed an embargo on all war
munitions and supplies, but so far as
is known here Greece has not taken
such action.
1t was pointed out tonight that the
Kroonland sailed from New York IL
days before Great Britain added cop
per to the list of conditional contra
band and made no stops en- route to
Gibraltar, and therefore should not be
subject to seizure on account of her
cargo. So far, no official communica-
ton has been received concerning the
reported detention of the Italian
steamers San Giovanni and Regina
D'Italia but as these vessels carry
American copper cargoes. the state de-
partment probably will protest also
against their detention at Gibraltar,
especially as they are billed to Ital-
ian ports.
