AMERICAN TROOPS WILL NOT BE
KEPT IN THE BACKGROUND
OF BATTLE
"y Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Ameri'
can army officials were inclined last
night to characterize the statement
coming from Ottawa that the British
troops felt so confident Of holding
the enemy on the west front that
they would not call upon the Ameri.
can troops, unless 1t was absolutely
necessary, giving them more time to
prepare, as an echo of the political
controversy precipitated in England
by the incident of General Maurice.
Inquiry at the various bureaus OF
the war department showed that the
expedited movement of men to
France is proceeding as planned after
the announcement that the units
would be brigaded with French and
British divisions for immediate op-
erations as well as training. In view
Of these developments it was felt
that an explanation must come from
the British capital.
