London, March l., SOC 7. M.-Secre-
tary of War Earl Kitchener gave q
brief review of the war situation in
the House of Lords this evening. He
said that only trench fighting had
been possible, for many weeks past,
but that this had not affected the
morals of the British troops. Recent
occurrences in the fight around Neuve
Chapelle and Epinette showed how
successfully the British troops have
been able to take the offensive.
Gallant Indian Troops
The minister Of war referred to the
gallantry shown by the soldiers of In
dia and he spoke eulogistically Of the
French army which, he said. had made
important progress at various points
along the line. especially in Cham
payne. where the soldiers OF the Re-
public had given evidence Of marked
tenacity.
The situation in the Dardanelles was
well in hand. the speaker declared,
but he was unable to say more than
had appeared in the press.
Progress in the work of equipping
Rritian's new armies had been seri-
ously hampered by failure TO get SUM-
Gent labor and the necessary factory
facilities. The supply Of war materi-
al is now and for the next month or
two will be a very serious considera-
ton. It is causing me serious anxiety.
More Ammunition
ct is absolutely essential that the
output of ammunition be increased. To
do so is Of the utmost importance to
