Queen Flies Over Belgium
Elizabeth's Wish to See Her
Lost Domain Is Gratifed

PARIS, Sept. elizabeth, Queen of
the Belgians, recently made an airplane
trip over a section of Belgian territory
under German control. With King
Albert she was visiting the front in
Flanders held by the French troops, and
during her stay went to an aviation
centre, where for some time she
watched the airmen perform various
feats.
Queen Elizabeth then expressed a
wish to obtain { glimpse once more OF
some of the sections of her unfortunate
country still in hostile hands. Her
wish was gratifed, as she was taken
on board an airplane which, with an es-
cort of pursuit sirplanes, flew over the
enemy lines and above some villages
occupied by the Germans.

Officials Give the Food
Shortage as Cause
for Move
Crisis in Cabinet
Over Ukraine Policy
Minister of Supplies Resigns;
Treachery Seen in
Riga's Fall

PETROGRAD, Sept. s.-Authoritative
statements issued here dealing with the
loss of Riga say that although compe-
tent military authorities do not con-
slider Petrograd endangered, yet the ap-
proach OF the war zone 70 the capital
necessitates decisive measures for the
government Of the city. Therefore, a
new administration will be formed.
NJ. Nikitine, Minister Of Posts and
Telegraph, who has been charged by
the government with the task Of
partially evacuating the capital, in
statement explains that the partial
evacuation is due to the problem Of the
food supply, rather than to any mill
tary menace. The only result OF the
German advance, he says, is further to
complicate the food question. He ad-
vses that section of the population not
engaged in business to leave the city
in patches, and promises every facility
for their departure.
Not to Move Capital
I. is said that majority Of the min
isters are against removing the gsv-
ernment into the interior, first, because
they do not consider the capital endan-
gered, and, secondly, because this
might cause an unreasonable panic. In
any case, it is said the government will
take no steps for six weeks.
A new Cabinet crisis has broken out
as result OF the opposition Of the
constitutional democratic ministers to
the food programme Of NJ. Pieschehon-
off, Minister of Supplies, and also the
land policy Of NJ. Tchernoif, Minister Of
Agriculture, as we'll as to the attitude
+ of a majority Of the Cabinet towards
I Ukraine.
The Constitutional Democrats de-
manded the postponement Of considera-
( tion of NJ. Pieschehonoff's programme
until the controversy over the land pol
/ icy was settled. This the Minister Of
I Supplies declared to be impossible. in
view Of the urgency Of the question.
/ The Constitutional Democrats then re-
uuired essential changes in the pro-
posed measures, which NJ. Pieschehon-
off, with the support Of all the Socialist
ministers, refused to make.
Deaf to Kerensky's Appeal
On the constitutional democratic min
isters announcing that they might re-
sign, NJ. Pieschehonoff. in order to
prevent a most serious situation. re-
signed himself, and persisted, despite
. Premier Kerensky's appeal. In absent.
/ ing himself from the night session Oh
! the Cabinet.
During the session, the crisis was
! aggravated by the constitutional demo
cratic ministers declaring categorically
against the governments intention TO
/ sanction Minnichenko, the Ukraine Sc
cessionist leader, as chief OF the
/ Ukraine cabinet The debate took on
/ such a sharp character that the social
/ ist ministers left the room, and the
session was interrupted.

Revelations Show
Envoys' Contempt
German Foreign Office
Compromised, Is Charge;
Luxburg Absent

BUENOS AYRES, Sept. s.-The Of
fetal announcement issued by tho
State Department at Washington thas
communications from Count Luxburg,
German charge at Buenos Ayres, had
been sent TO the Berlin Foreign Once
through the Swedish Legation here in
cipher caused a sensation, and was the
principal topic Of discussion through
out the city.
That the situation is considered Sc
rious was evidenced by the fact that
the populace, usually gay on Sunday,
wer remarkably quiet and sober faced.
Dancing girls, waving Argentine flags
and bedecked with American and Brit
ish flags, were greeted with silence at
the society matinee after being wildly
applauded all week.
The government Offices have been
closed since Friday evening, but when
the officials return from the weekend
tomorrow the revelations from Wash
ington will be the first matter eonsid-
cred. The President of the republic
has already called upon the Foreign
Minister for explanations.
The Buenos Ayres newspapers refer
to the exposure as an unusual and
sensational diplomatic scandal. LA
Nacion' says:
, This sensational revelation, which
compromises the faith Of the German
Foreign Office, must modify many
opinions regarding the situation. IL
clearly shows the contempt with whlcn
| the two diplomats involved regard tn
Argentine Foreign Once.
Argentina's Honor Involved
Diplomacy in this war has given US
| many surprises, but none so grave, or
! that occasioned consequences so difi-
! cult TO foresee in their far-reaching
effects, as this from the United States,
the involvement OF the fair name Of
our country, imposed upon because OF
! its excessive good faith, in a compli-
Gated plot, which must arouse uni
versal comment Of all kinds, claims,
/ fears and suspicious
Every paper to-day said that the re-
! port was so sensational and unusual
| that it could not be believed except for
the fact that it had been made public
by the State Department of such a
great country as the United States.
At the present time there are no re-
sponsible officials at the German Iegs-
tion. Count Luxburg has been taking
a vacation in the Andes foothills since
the arrival of the American feet at
Buenos Ayres, and has so far not re-
sponded 20 a telegraphic request OF
