Despatch Was Due To Error IN

DENIALS COME QUICKLY

British Minister First Says Re-

WTASHINGTON, May IL
w ASSOCIATED Press - Bri-
tish officials last night informed
the London correspondent of the
Associated Press that the report
sent out from Ottawa on Sunday
that the forces of the United
States were not to be used by
the Allies was due to a mistake.
The meaning Of the message had
been misinterpreted. This effect
ually sets at rest the doubts and
anxieties which were manifested
throughout the country yesterday
and which denials from the Bri-
tish ambassador and the secretary
of war had not been able to en-
tirely remove.
tits believed here that the mis-
understanding arose through a
J misinterpretation of the words
Integral body" and these were
meant to imply that the Ameri-
can army as a whole would not
be used at this time.
Denials Of the Ottawa report
as it was generally printed came
quickly yesterday Lord Reading,
ltEe british ihfAistei aid that the
burden Of the despatch was di-
rectly in contravention Of the in
formation which he had, that the
American forces were to be used.
He was confident there was some
mistake and that no such inform
alton was sent out by Lloyd
George or the war cabinet. What
was really meant, he said, he was
at a loss to interpret. n
Secretary of War Baker also
denied the despatch and said il
was contrary to the last informa-
ton which he had from the mill
tary authorities in Europe. W

CIVILIAN SOLDIERS i. Y
LIKED BY BRITONS

WASHINGTON, May 1s--Cohieial)
The London Times, commenting on
the parade through London last week
of American soldiers, says: =. a
"This peaceful invasion has beggar-
ed the forecasts Of historians, and made
cheap even the dreams Of idealists,''
adding, "Londoners must have been
minded of another civilian army, war
worn now, which we owe to the genius
of Lord Kitchener. None Of those in
the American parade was a soldier
when the United States entered the
war. II we can boast Of our miracle,
America can do so with equal justice.
Actual experience with these patriots
likely will prove to Germany that they
Nave acquired an aptitude similar to
that which Kitchener's volunteers SO
quickly demonstrated"

NEW YORK, May l4-(As-
~ sociated Press - Although
the fighting along the western
front yesterday was confined to
only local actions, having no bear
ing on the situation as a whole,
and there was nothing in the ma
neuvering of German troops along
the immediate front to indicate
any early resumption of the Ger
man offensive, military critics
find no encouragement in this Of
any idea that the German bolt
has been shot and that the effort
to obtain a final victory on the
west has been a b a n d o n d.
Through the reports of the air

commanders know that the Ger

available reinforcement and are

place themselves in position to
strike a greater and a more pow

man movements at Serre, few
miles west Of Bapaume, which
would be the logical point for
starting an attempted turning
movement against Arras. Heavy
firing to the south may indicate
that the Germans are preparing
in that sector for a new move
ment against Amiens and conse-
quently their efforts in that di-
rection are receiving equal atten-
ton.
General Haig last night report
ed that heavy firing continued to
the north of Serre and to the
north of KENNEL. Earlier British
reports had told Of heavy shell
ing of positions in the Somme
Valley, the Albert sector and be-
tween LOGAN and the Nieppe for
est. No infantry activities were
mentioned in these reports.
On the French front, also, the
activities were confined to artil-
lery engagements and Paris des-
patches said the FIRE was heavy
in Picardy along both sides of the
Avre River.
HINDENBURG DEAD J
Much interest attaches to an
unveri6ed report that Won Hin
denburg is dead which was pub
lished in the London Express
yesterday. That paper said that
German prisoners had reported
the death of the German com
mander and declared that General
Won Mackensen, who won his sue
cesses in the northern fields, is
the great man who is now expect
ed to bring about a German vic
tory.
1t is assumed that the story OF
the death Of Won Hindenburg has
been circulated among the Ger
man soldiers to explain the fail
ure of the great offensive of which
81 much had been expected.

HOW THE ARMY SAVES
SUGAR AND GLYCERINE

According to recent announce
ment Of the War Department, consid-
erable savings in sugar and glycerine
are being effected by the Quartermas
ter Corps in discontinuing the pur-
chase Of so-called glycerine soaps for
the Army. Both of these products
were used in the manufacture Of
soaps for the purpose Of improving its
appearance, but are unnecessary, as
they do not add to the cleansing value
of the soap. A recent order from a
quartermaster called for 100000
pounds Of glycerine soap, Based on
the usual formula, this soap would
contain 10 per cent Of sugar, or a to-
tai Of $4,000 pounds, which would
have been complete waste The
soap was provided, but 1t did not con-
tain sugar or glycerine, so that 15,-
900 pounds of sugar was saved for
food and proportionate amount of
glycerine was saved for the manufac-
ture of powerful explosives.
