BERLIN. via The Hague and London,

graphed TO Kaiser Wilhelm at the front.

resignation and the unauthorized fore =
casts OF the note which had reached Ber-

admitted. one description neatly sum-
marizes many OF the expressed opinions.
that the note was written by one gentle
man to another. both OF them animated
by an earnest desire amicably TO settle
the matters In dispute.
Germany's reply probably will not be
sent until DR.. Meyer Gerhard, the spe-
cial German envoy from the United
states. has arrived and the American
feelings and attitude have been thor
oughly discussed with him In the
meantime talk of the severance OF dip
lomatic relations has been set at res.
by the tone of President Wilson's note.
II Is accepted here that Emperor Will
lam himself will have much to do with
the framing OF the German reply. One
report is that the Kaiser will return

Munitions WIN Contest.

The French movement toward Lens
the other day shows how munitions win
the contest. For four miles the French
guns fattened out the ground. For
miles nothing was left of the hostile
parapets and entanglements but n shell
ploughed countryside with fragments OF
wire and humanity over which the in
fantry could advance safely. This was
made possible only by great guns firing
all day with the rapidity OF MaXims. A
wounded officer describing the big en-
gagement at La Bassee to the writer
said yesterday:
THE tiermans had 500 guns pounding
a two mile front We this time are
giving them the same, ] could not see
the effect OF our shells, but ] saw that
of theirs ! cannot describe IT, The
soil there Is light and | tell you the
countryside shook as you see n Jelly
mould quivering on the dining table.
Preparatory shell fire such as this seems
to be universally recognized as the only
way to make an advance
Munitions are necessary to an almost
unlmaginable extent. France seems 10
be mobiizcd industrially to this end al
ready. This country undoubtedly has
now heard and recognized the call. They
have the men to-day and will have
munitions, but the sooner the latter are
available the sooner the war will be
finished"

Mr Lloyd George also mentioned
twelve yesterday as the number of ma
chine guns TO a German battalion.
There Is no longer any attempt, II ever
there was one, to disguise the fact that
what the Allies want now are munitions
They have tho men. both ia quantity ard
quality superior they believe 10 the ell
emy, but the machine behind the men,
namely guns and high explosives. is not
yet on par with that OF their odver-
sarieS.
one expert writes to tho effect that
there are three methods Of dedling with
the Germans on the western front.
The first of these is outilankng opera
tons, These, no says, are impossible
because the German line is based OF the
sea on one side and on the Alps on the
Other. The second is q process OF at
triton. which has been used during tho
winter. Hut this process Is slow and
costs the ,ictors, as the Allies have been
in this matter. a very high price. There
remains the third way. TO tear a great
rent in the enemy's line and cut the
communications OF large section Of
their front. forcing them to shorten IL
and take up new line. This operation
must be repeated until the enemy has
heen driven 10 MS own borders. which
will be the frst step toward final vic
tory. But a machine--guns and shells
equal to Germany's is necessary for
this. more guns and far greater reserves
Of ammunition.

Special Cable Despatch to THE suS.

LONDON. June 1.-THE word written
in every Englishmans heart to-day ls
"shells." Mr.. Lloyd Georges new post
is called Minister OF Munitions 1t
really should be Minister OF Shells.
Germany's vast provision OF guns and
high explosive shells has been the most
noticeable feature OF the war. II was
said In THE SuN on high authority be-
fore II was sal. anywhere else that the
greatest surprise OF this war was the
consumption OF shells on a scale far be-
vond anything imagined by the experts
OF any belligerent Power. including Ger
many. who alone had made long and
real preparation. Every day. almost
every hour. shows that the one impera-
tive necessity for tine Allies is munitions
which means shells and guns.
Mr.. Lloyd George in a speech at Bris-
tol to-day on the urgent need OF NUM-
tions appealed again to the trade union
lists to waive the restrictions OF their or
ganizations. saying that unless this was
done the output could not be increased.
THE whole nation Is in the same
boat" he said. "and unless every muscle
Is strained all will be swept down the
stream together. II is n question either
of common veal or common fall. We
want a deluge OF shells to rain for forty
days and forty nights increasingly"
Mr. Lloyd George announced that Lord
Kitchener had given instructions that all
skilled engineers in the trenches he
sought out and invited 10 return to the
workshops where. he said, they would
be more useful than on the firing line
Visiting an aeroplane factory after
ward Mr.. Lloyd George urged the stafr
to do their utmost to increase the out
put. The Germans. he said. have many
more aeroplanes than the British. Brit
lsh airmen. he said. were so superior to
the Germans that one was worth two
or three OF the enemy. but more British
machines were imperative.
