BERLIN STORY DENIED,

LONDON. Jan. 27-The war Office
has no news OF the catastrophe 10 Bull
ler's force reported from Berlin, and
discredils the story. Neither has the
war Office any explanation, nt least for
publication. OF the abandonment
OF spionkop. and there are no advices
in this connection from British sources.
The evacuation Is today regarded as
not so serious as NJ first thought. and
commentaries are abusing the military
authorities both at the front and at
horne foi publishing hasty accounts
Of an incomplete, half-understood
operation. thus alternately thrilling
and derre ssing the nation.

scathingly denouncing the gazettlng

exacted its usual 1.-THE OF lives and
