 ATHENS, Aug. 14.-Private dispatch es from Constantinople state that the Turks are facing an ammunition short age of the most serious nature as the supplies are at present distressingly law.
 The reports say that the Turkish authorities admit that the situation is decidedly critical as the demands of the army are far greater than the pro- ductive resources of the nation. The Turks are said to have been depending largely on Germany for their military supplies and these have not been forth coming of late for some unexplained reason.
