RUSSIANS ARE SHORT
 OF AMMUNITION
Recent ReVerses in a Large Measure
 Due to That Deficiency,

Washington, June 7.-Reports from various sources have convinced mil itary experts of the truth of claims that recent Russian reverses have been due in large measure to shortage of ammunition.
 Until the harbor of ArchangeI was opened by ice breakers late in May Russia was without a port through which ammunition could reach her shores. Russian factories are limited and unimportant, so the only avenue through which munitions were reach ing the country in quantity was the trans Siberian railway
 Japanese ammunition factories sup pHed virtually all their output to the Russians early in the war. But the disagreement between China and Jap an over the Japanese demands and the prospect of war in the Far East caused Japan to hold it's war supplies in re- serve temporarily, reducing traffic in munitions over the trans Siberian route to the products of American factories reaching the Far East.
 The average time passengers allow for the trip from VladiVostok to Pet rograd in times of peace is eleven days. Only a limited portion of the railway through Siberia is double tracked, consequently freight ship ments are necessarily slow, even when all other traffic is sidetracked LO ILdhe way TOT war munitions. Snlp . ments from the United States must be carried from San Francisco on freight steamers which take at least a month for the trip to Vladivostok. It is said, too, that there has been much difficulty in timing American shipments so as to keep the Russian forces supplied with shells when the supply from Japan fails them.
 We'll authenticated reports indicate that artillery pieces and rifles, as well as shells and cartridges, were lacking among the garrison which lost Prze- mysl to the Germans.
 In some cases Russian troops are said to have been armed only with crowbars and steel rods, in lieu of bayonetted rifles for use in hand-to- hand conflicts.
 After the port of Archangel has been open a few weeks later military ex- perts believe Russia's problem will be solved. Preparations are known to have been made at the great northern port to handle supplies eXpeditiously and the railway leading to distribution centers has tracks and bridges capable of transporting heavy field pieces without risk

RIOToUS OUTBREAK IN
 CEYLON BY RUDDHISTS.
Mosien Shops Were Looted and Many
 Murders Occurred.

London, June ', S.2O D. m.-A riotous outbreak in Ceylon by BuddIhists against the Moslems, in which numer- ous Moslem shops were footed and many murders occurred, is announced in an official communication made public here tonight.
 The official statement says "The governor of Ceylon reports that on the 18th of May, the birthday of Buddha, Moslem shops in Randy were footed by BuddhistS. The outbreak was quelled in Randy, but was diffused through the central province, where it was re- pressed by the arrival of a military de- tachment
 "On the 31st of May there was a later outbreak at Colombo, which sub sequently spread south. Martial law has been proclaimed in the western, central southern, northwestern and Sahara Gamuwa provinces.
 "On the 3d of June the governor left Randy quiet and proceeded to Colom- bo, where he found the town quiet but the district perturbed. He hoped to suppress the disorder in a few days.
 ''T'he disorder is due to a sudden outbreak of racial and commercial an- imosity and is not directed against the European population or the colonial government. Much Moslem merchan- disc has been destroyed. There have been numerous murders and several rioters were shot.
 'TThe latest telegrams state that the situation is in hand and improving''

IRREGULARITIES IN EXAMS
 AT NAVAL ACADEMN
Attempts Made to Enter Desks of Four
 Heads of Departments.

Annapolis, Md, June 7.-That there was reason to believe that attempts had been made to enter the desks of the heads of at least four naval acad- enly departments and secure the exama nations in advance was the testimony given late today by Rear Admiral Full lam, superintendent of the academy, before the naval court of inquiry ap- pointed by Secretary Daniels to in vestigate charges of irregularities in examinations.
 It is the belief of the authorities, however, that only one attempt had been actually successful. This was in the case of the department of modern languages.
 The reading of the record of testi- mony taken before the board of in vestigation appointed by Rear Admiral F'ul1am, superintendent of the academy, occupied the court from 10 o'clock this morning until after o'clock this after neon, with only a short intermission for luncheon.
 Six members of the graduating class who on last Friday received their di-. plOmas and became ensigns were or dered recalled as a result of the men tion of their names during today's reading of the testimony and record of the previous investigation conducted by a board appointed by Superintend- ent Fullam.
 Prof. Carlos A. Cusachs of the de- partment of modern languages, who was named in the previous record, also will be recalled.
