LONDON. Oct. 2. Lucien
Jones, correspondent Of the
Daily Chronicle in Ghent, tele-
graphs: "The Belgians every
where are flooding the country
against German advance. At

fallen back across the Scheldt.
Along the fighting line gener-
ally the Belgian forces have
fallen back in the face OF over
whelming numbers.
"In the fight OF the inhabi-
tants from Alost | saw aged
persons, young women and
children down on their knees
begging those in overfilled
convcyances for a lift. Thirty
thousand of these homeless per-
sons have been accommodated
in Client in the park Leopold.
Alost today is held by neither
tile BelSians nor the Germans.
Part OF the town is burned to
the ground"

The republic has undergone in the
last few years a terrible crisis Ia
which the democratic ideals OF gov
ernment and the yearnings of the
people for justice and economical i'm
provement had triumphed and been
vindicated. The last civil strife end
ed with the overthrow of Gen.
Huerta's dictatorship and since the
constitutionalist forces occupied the
capital of the republic, SenOr Car
rama assuming charge of the eXecu-
tive power adopted interim, it was
thought on account OF the prevailing
disagreement that the best way to es-
tabling a government acceptable to
all was to hold a national convention
where all the military factions at
tached TO the revolution of principles
that has just triumphed should be
represented.
Convention is Sovereign.
After several conferences between
the various chiefs, ii was agreed to
designate the city of Aguas Calientes

Gutierrez Guarantees Life
and Property; Promises
an Equitable Government

OF October last the military cOnven-
tion OF Aguas Calientes was represen-
tative of all the revOlutionist elements
'Su bsequently the said assembly
declared itself TO be the sovereign
power of the republic. as being the
representatives of the people in arms
that had fought To reconstitute the
nationality.
In virtue thereof the convention
proceeded TO elect a provisional presi-
dent of the republic and L was desig-
mated by a majority of the votes TO
hold the office. In SO proceeding the
convention has given expression TO
the purposes of the revolution and en-
deavored 10 demonstrate that no gov
ernment can subsist in Mexico unless
it emanates from the will of the peo-
pie, for the time of relationships
born Of violence and personal ambi-
ton has passed forever.
Form Program OF Government.
In the same democratic form and
VOicing the sentiments of the reVOlu-
tionary and reforming majority, the
convention Is continuing its work in
formulating the program of govern
ment which my provisional admins
tratiOn must comply with, and the re-
forms which are to be brought for
ward to accomplish the ends of the
revolutionary movement 1t will also
appoint the date on which the cleo
tions will be held to designate the
constitutional powers of the republic.
In the meanwhile. and while my pro-
viSional presidency lasts, l Will strive
to adapt the policy of the government
to the needs of the country, respect
the legitimate rights of the nationals,
set up the reforms that the revolu-
ton demands and scrupulOusly guar
antee the life and property of the for
eigners who have come under the pro-
lection of the nation. The new gov
ernment in my charge viii move TO
Mexico City and achieve a complete
pacification of the country for besides
having reason, right and public Opin
ion on its side, it viii try To meet the
just demands of ali the inhabitants
of the land, though without swerving
from the performance of its duties.
Hopes Continued COdiality.
I'm announcing to your eXcellency's
government the establishment Of the
new regime in Mexico City / am re-
lying on the strong sympathies which
the honorable president of your re-
public has always shown to the Mex
lean people and their Institutions, and
1 find qualification in hoping that the
good relations that have united us
with the powerful and civilized Amer
lean nation will subsist in the future,
and that the forces of your govern
ment will very soon be withdrawn
from our port of Vera Cruz; then will
our relations be again completely cor
dial and close as they are TO be de-
sired between adjoining peoples are
that are brothers by civilization and
common ideals.
