CARRANzA IS WARNED BY D. s.
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES MAY
FOLLOW" coNFlscATion.
Mexican Officials Already Have prae-
Ideally Enforced Embargo on
Expectation of Oil.

Washington, Jan. is.--The United
States government has sent a warning
to General Venustiano Carranza, point.
ing out that serious consequences
may follow" hts threatened confisca.
ton OF foreign owned oil plants in
Tampico. This announcement was
made by Secretary Bryan In confer.
eRee with Sir Cecil Spring. Rice, the
British ambassador, and representa-
tises Of American oil concerns.
Already the Carranza officials have
practically enforced an embargo ON
the expectation of oil by big English
company. The British ambassador, AT
the suggestion Of Mr. Bryan, sent an
urgent telegram 10 the British consul
ut Vera Cruz, which he was instructed
to show General Carranza.
The British feet obtains much OF its
fuel from the Tampico oil fields, and
the possibility of serious complications
over the Carrauza governments atti-
tade IL fully realized by the American
government.
Mr.. Bryan said that the foreign.
owned oil companies fesred eonfisca.
ton of their wells by Carranza and
that urgent representations had been
made TO forestal such action. A de-
cree issued by the Carranza govern.
ment makes Ii impossible for some
Of the foreign oil companies to operate
without the consent of the Mexican
authorities.
Seine of the American concerns, 1t
is said, have been forced 10 pay SO
heavy tax that they have been prac.
tieally compelled to shut down their
plants. TIL.
Although there are Dutch interests
az Tampico, no representations have
AZ yet been made by the Netherlands
government.
The prospects OF a battle on the out.
skirts of Tampico between the ad-
saneing forces Of General villa ana
columns OF Carrauza under General
Pablo Gonzales is expected here Ia
develop the situation further. III the
villa forces are victorious a solution
Of the problem is confidently expected.

The Martini serceuse.

A young lady was dining with some
friends at their home. The host had
eoncocted some seductive cocktails
and she had joined the others in drink
ing to his health. Before the dinner
was over she was experiencing that
much-talked-of wobbly feeling that il
said to follow cocktail.
While coffee was being served In
the drawing room, the three-months-
old son of the family was brought into
the room and tha young guest insisted
on holding him.
Il am surprised that he is SO con-
tented in your lap" her hostess told
her. He doesn't usually care for
strangers.

,.. viii Hasten Action.
The capture of Kirlihaba pass.
through which roads lead into the
heart OF Pennsylvania, Is likely to
have a political as well as a military
effect. II possibly will hasten the &C.
ton of Roumania and may compel
the Gerrnanic allies to send troops
for the defense Of eastern Hungary.
With the retirement Of Count vou
Berchtold, the former Anstro- Hunga
rian minister of foreign affairs, who ID
said to have favored another expedi
ton against Seryia, and because OF the
greater influence of the HuEgarians In
the councils of the empire by reason
of the appointment of Baron Stephan
Burian as the head of the foreign de
partment, the troops which were des
tined for the Servian operations are
likely TO be diverted to meet the new
Russian threat against Hungary.
Brisk Fighting in West.
In the west, there has been some
brisk fighting at many points. The
French claim to have made further
progress along the coast of Flanders
but not to the extent which they have
been credited with by unofficial re
ports. Attacks and counter attacks
have also prevailed in the region oil
Aras and I'm the Aisne valley, south OF
Laon, but apparently without either
side making any advances.
The French progress, however, ac
cording to their statement, continues
east Of Rheims and in the vosges, de

proved their position.
