Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, May 14-Formal repudiation of the message sent through Ottawa from London announc- ing that the American army was not to be used at the battle front until it became a complete and self-supporting force, was received today at the British embassy. Lord Reading, the ambassa- dor, authorized the following state ment:
 Lord Reading has received official information that the telegram sent through Ottawa did not emanate from the war cabinet and is totally at vari- ance with their views. Lord Reading is officially informed that the state ment contained in it was made with out any knowledge of the prime min ister or of the British cabinet" There still is much speculation here over the origin of the mysterious announce ment which reached Ottawa as a part of the official war summary So far as can be learned no official information has reached the department to explain the matter.

Enemy Assault Stubbornly
 Resisted and Counter
 Attack to Recapture Important Point Is On
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, May 14.-CBy the Associated Press)-Hill No. A, small but inn portant elevation near the WyverbeeK river north of Kemmel, about which such sanguinary conflicts have been Waged since May 8, appeared today to be in the hands of the Germans again. The enemy began an assault yesterday morning and gained a hold on this position and at latest reports was still clinging tenaciously to the rugged slopes, although the hard hit ting French had been pressing the in vaders vigorously.
 Hill No. A has been one of the most hotly contested points on the northern battlefield.
 Changes Hands Frequently
 When the Germans attacked between La Clytte and Voormezeele May 8, the British were holding the elevation. Strong enemy forces centered drive against this point and after bitter fighting captured it. The British in a smashing counter thrust hurled the gray coats back The following day the enemy organized such heavy coun- ter attacks that the defenders were once more forced to fall back behind the hill.
 The Germans retained the defenses until the day when the French were sent in for a counter attack. The poilus stormed and re-took the hill in a brilliant operation, which also re- suited in the capture of Goddezone farm, strong position to the least.
 Counter Thrust Certain
 It was a foregone conclusion that the allied claim to Hill A could not go undisputed, since it dominates a considerable stretch of territory in the valleys of the sluggish Kemmelbeek, Willebeek and Vyverbeek rivers. Yesterday morning the enemy car ried out a local bombardment about the hill and followed this by deter | mined attack. The French opposed strenuous resistance but the persist ent Germans kept pressing forward slowly in the face of heavy machine guns and rifle fire, until they secured a footing on the hill. The fighting was still going on today.
 Huns Start Something The Germans southwest of Morlan- court on the southern battle front | picked a quarrel with the British this morning and got their just deserts
 In the early hours the enemy at l tempted a raid into the lines of the British fighters. who made field day | of it. Forty eight of the raiders re- mained behind to grace the prisoners cage and large numbers of their less | fortunate comrades lay dead in front of the British positions at the end of l the engagements. The British casual | ties were very light.
 There has been considerable artillery | activity. at various points along the | front but nothing in the way of in
 fantry actions had been reported up to midnight.

 STILL OBJECTIVE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

COPENHAGEN, May 1.-The Ger mans still are of the belief that they will be able to reach the English chan nel coast, bar navigation of the waters and lombard southern England and that then it will be easy to begin peace negotiations, according to an interview the Politiken has had with a prominent German politician, member of the reichstag, who requested that his name be not used. He added that the Ger man offensive thus far had proved failure owing to heavy losses and that the German high command was wait ing to obtain more artillery. Germany had lost in killed, wounded and made prisoner 3,00O,O00 men, he added.
 Answering questions about the opin- ion of the reichstag main committee on the situation on the western front and the end of the war, the newspapers informant said:
 What Huns Believe
 We still believe according to mes sages from our military leaders, that we shall reach the north coast, where our guns can bar navigation of the channel and fire at south England. It is suggested from the German side that with this another course of the war will commAnce, and, as far as Germany is concerned it will be very easy to start armistice negotiations, as, despite all asseNions, we do not aim at any conquering. We want neither the mine districts at Lorraines west front or Antwerp.
 We have lost, including killed, wounded and prisoners, three million men. Do you think that we intend to | make foolish claims and send our | children through another four years of war? Moreover, we shall have enough to do during the age of man to control the new Russian country and secure their mercantile and industrial influ- | ence. Responsible German politisians only demand that the western powers shall give back our colonies.''
