KAISER DISAVOWS
WORDS Of FLUXBURG
GERMAN FOREIGN SECRETARY
SAYS Won LUxRURG ACTED
WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
DENIAL MAY PREVENT WAR
Argentina Chamber of Deputies Was
In Session and Prepared To De-
clare War On kaiser-Further
Action Is Expected.

Buenos Aires, Argentina (via Gat
weston, Tex.)-The government here
has received dispatch from its lega'
tion in Berlin in which Germany Off.
cially expressed her disapproval Of the
actions Of Count Won Luxburg in rec.
ommending that Argentina's vessels be-
sunk without leaving a trace of them.
The dispatch was from the minister OF
the Argentine Republic in Berlin and
was received by Senor don HonorIo
Pueyrredon, minister for foreign af'
fairs. The dispatch was dated at Ber"
lin.
Referring to my dispatch No 149.
DR.. Won Kuhlmann, German foreign
secretary, who returned here yester-,
day from Munich, has handed to me to-
day the following reply to our note:
Acknowledging your note dated
Sept. IA, in which was contained the
announcement that Count Won LuxburS
no longer is persona grata to the gov
ernment of Argentina, have the hon.
or to state that the imperial German
government greatly deplores the
events which have occurred and that
It absolutely and unequivocally disap-
proves the ideas expressed by Count
Won Luxburg in the dispatches which
we're published by our enemies with
regard to the form for carrying on
our cruiser warfare.
"'These ideas were purely his own.
They had not, and will not, have any
influence on the decisions or on the as
surances of the imperial German gov
eminent" T.
In his dispatch to Senior Pueyrredon,
Senior Molina, Argentina's minister 20
Berlin, said that DR.. Won Kuhlmann
went to great length to signify his gov
ernments rejection of the Won Lux"
burg dispatches. Senior Molina added
that the German press was unanimous
in its condemnation of Count Won Lux
burg's conduct.
Senior Pueyrredon, Immediately on
receipt Of this dispatch from Senor
Molina, hastened to the chamber OK
deputies to place 1t before that body.
The session, however, was temporarily
suspended, and the deputies were leav'
ing the chamber when Senor Pueyrre'
don arrived there.
Many deputies remained to near
what he had to say. Later Senor Acre,
one of the leaders in the chamber OF
deputies, declared that the dispatch
in no way modified the situation. De-
snite this statement by him, 1t ap-
peared that among certain deputies
the disapproval by DR.. Won Kohlmann
was not without at least some effect

If the attacking forces maintain the
positions to which they have advanced
in this section they will have accom-
plished one of the most remarkable

made the most determined resistance

ALEX|EFF RESIGNS
AS CHIEF OF STAFF
HEAD OF RUSSIAN ARMIES QUITS
TO GIVE PREMIER FREE HAND
WITH NEW CABINET.
DlSAGREES WITH KERENSKy

Petrograd.-The resignation OF Gen
eral Alexieff as chief Of the general
staff has been followed by the appoint
ment in his place of M. Tcheremisoff,
whose predictions are highly demo
cratic. The appointment Of M. Tchere'
misoff is the signal for drastic re
forms, but the immediate motive for
change in the incumbency of the post
is not publicly known.
One reason is that General Alexieft
resigned in order to free the hands OF
Premier Kerensky, with whom he con-
sented to take the post on the conli'
tion that the new cabinet would be a
coalition one, and which condition Pre-
mier Kerensky failed to bring about.
Another explanation is that General
Alexieff was not in agreement with
the premier regarding the latter's plans
for clearing out the higher staff and
effecting a general reorganization, Ke.
rensky having insisted on the dismiss
al Of all higher officers guilty even
OF passive support OF General Korni
loft or suspected of counter-revolution
intentions.
Aemier Kerensky's policy will be
executed by the new war minister, Yer
kovsky, and the new chief OF. staff, M
Tcheremisoff. The latter was for 4
short time commander on the south
west front, from which post he was
dismissed as the result of the insist
ence of General Korniloff.

The thing that impresSes me, how

goes on. Now 1t was apparent long
before we entered the war that all of
this propaganda was not coming forth
by chance. Ii was clear that 1t was
inspired by some astute, powerful,
clever source, and that source was the
German government.
"BernStorff was not the only me-
dium through which money was paid

II have no doubt that millions OF
dollars have been expended here to

This organization must be de-
stroyed. We must take ii out by the
