A, P. A. Service.
LONDON, Deo. 'i'i..—Asquith today
threw considerable cold water on the
Berlin reports declaring that the with
drawal of the British forces from the

me oerlin dispatches, out mat the
occupation of the British positions wus
due solely to their abandonment by
the allies in accordance with a pre

seled by both Kitchener and General
Monroe from the time of Kitchener’s
visit some weeks ago. Asquith de
: clured that the only severe fighting
occurring recently on the peninsula
\ was occasioned by the British launch
