BRITISH NAVAL FLoTILLA STILL SUPPORTING ALLIES
Aeuraey of 'Gunners Prevents German
 Flank Movement

London, Oct 29. Il p. m.-The secre- tary of the admiralty makes the follow ing announcement:
 The British naval f1otilla continues to support the allies left, and since the morning of October 27 the fire of I2-inch guns has been brough to bear upon the German positions and bat teries.
 Reports received from shore testify to the effect and acuracy of the fire and to its galling character. The flank Is thus thorouthly maintatnew.
 Yesterday and. the day before the enemy brought up heavy guns and re- piled vigorously to the fire of Admiral Hoods ships. The vessels received only triding structural damage. To- day the opposition from the shore has practically ceased and the prepond- erance of the naval gunners seems to be established :
 The casualties have been very slight threughout, but one shell exploding on the destroyer Falcon, killed one off, cer and eight men and wounded one officer and Is men. One killed and several wounded are also Reported from the light cruiser Brilliant and eight were wounded on the Rinaldo
 The enemy's submarines have aiso been reported seeking an opportunity to attack the bombarding ships. which are covered by British destroyers.

London, Oct. 29, 7:55 D. m.-1t is feared that in their desperation the hungry people will attack the authori- ties. This would cause serious loss of life.' ss+f.s*
 s So stated Captain T. F. Lucey, rep resentative of the American comnis- sion for relief in Belgium, in a telc- gram sent to Herbert C.. Hoover, chair man of the commission, from Rotter- dam today. Captain Lucey added that he had been told by representatives of the national relief committee that in Brussels, Charleroi Liege, Namur, Mons and Dinant; 5000. GOO persons were beings<fed by charity and that only four days, supply of flour was on
 Iii the. vicinity of Iaege conditions were more desperate than elsewhere if possible. There the necessaries of life were urgntly nedd-
 Beans, peas and rice are accepta- bls,' Captain Lucey's telegram said, 'but. the great necessity: and the urs- ent appeals from all concerned are for wheat ffour.n
 The message concluded:
 You may be convinced that any statement you have received or heard has under estimated conditions in Bel. gfum. Great danger is. threatened. To avoid it you must get flour to the people and get it at once,.
 The steamer Iris, the second ship which will take supplies to Belgium for the American relief committee. IS expected to sail from London Saturday. The vessel will. carry 1,400 tons of wheat. rice and peas.'.

Aguascalientes, Mexico, Oct 2S.-A coalition of the delegates representing General Villa and General zapata virtually ruled today's session of the Mexican national, convention after the stormiest and exciting meeting the assembly had witnessed. For a time It threatened to break into a riot. Delegates Reached for Their RevoIvers
 The convention for several minutes was in confusion. The delegates reach ed for their revolvers, but finally yield ed to the becalming speech of their colleagues.
 The outburst occurred shortly after the arrival of26 representatives of General Zapata- It developed that they came. not as authorized delegates but to learn the views Of the convention before telegraphing for credentials. They were accorded seats on the plat form amid cheers and their leaders were invited to speak.
 Paulilo Martinez described the ideals of the plan of Ayala, the platform of the Eapata movement, informing the convention in forcible tones that if 1t were not accepted by the convention. zapata's army would continue to fight He was given an ovation, which was the first indication that the convention believed in the plan of AyaIa, which declares for an immediate division of the big landed eseates in Mexico.
 Climax Preeipitated.
 Antonio Sotoy Gama, who spoke next for the Zapatistas, precipitated a oli- max which threatened to disrupt the convention. The first part of his speech. full of fiowery phrases, was unanimously .applauded, put one of his metaphors miscarried. He had cont pared the Mexican flag to a rag and was not permitted to finish his figure of speech.
 Indignant and Angry Delegates.
 Indignant and angry delegates rose to their feet with menacing gestures. The. Mexican flag on the platform was borne away by angry delegates from the place where the orator stood and the convention was in an uproar at once. ts--%
 Some of the delegates, with hands on their pistols. yelled at each other in fury Antonio VillareaI, the chairman of the convention pounded in vain for order.
 Spectators in Panic.
 Out of the boxes and galleries crowds of spectators started in panic for the doors, to escape before shooting began. Generals Obregon and Colonel Hay and other prominent delegates. however, rushed to the platform and standing by the flag succeeded in ob-

taining order.
 Speaker Stood Impassivs.
 During the hostile demonstration. MT. Soto Cana stood fmpassfveiy on the rostrum indifferent to the epiithets of the delegates on the floor Finally when quiet was restored, he resumed his speech, explaining that if he had been permitted to finish his sentence it would have been seen that he meant no affront to the Mexican flag. What he intended to say, he de- clared, was that the flag had become a rag which traitors to real liberty had used as an emblem to obtain power, and that the flag was coming to stand for individualism rather than a purely national emblem.
 Villa Faction Sustained.
 Rogue Gonzales Garza of the Villa faction then arose, defending Cana and deploring the incident. With dra- matic feryor, he announced that all Mexico clamored for the plan of Ayala the other generals of the division of the north held the same view. Led by General Felipe Angles, the generals of the north rose to a man and sfgIf- fled their approval whereupon stand ing vote recorded the great majority as favoring the plan of the zapatistas.
 Dramatic Incident.
 Another dramatic moment fin the days session came when Colonel Al fredo Serranos, of the Zapatista com mission, defending Gama's utterances, said the zapatisfas did not carry the Mexican flag while lighting against their brothers. but entered battle with ,courase in their hearts and rifles in their hands, Only when they had to fight a foreign enemy would they fol- low the flag to a. man. As he stood there, coatless, wearing a brown shirt. with a black handkerchief around his neck, in khaki trousers and IegRinxs, he was given the most enthusiastic re- ception which the convention had sc- corded any previous speaker.
 When the other delegates had spoken, telegrams were received from General Zapata- authorizing some of his representatives, at the convention formally to present their credentials as delegates. sss5 aA
 The report of the commission head ed by General Obregon, which went to Mevico City to interview General Car ranza, will not be presented until af- ter the convention passes tomorrow on the credentials of the Zapata dele- gates. When the days session ad- journed. the Zapata delegates were conversing in friendly way with the remainder of the delegates.
