A year ago the amnnuntion supplies for the 3-inch field. guns were only 1900 shells per gun with reserve of 200. It had been increased from 700 per gun in 1909. after General Langlois had declared in the Senate that the supply then in hand would be just sufficient for day and d half of battle He asked for 5000 shells per gun. Only 400 were granted. provision being made for the manufacture of 13a10 shells a day in the government arsenals.
 The first month of war showed that all estimates as to needed ammunition were too low French arsenals and private factories are now said to be producing 10000 shells a day Notwithstan the continued demands of the press for more ammunition, this is supposed to be sui ficient for current needs, besides creating a big reserve stock careful estimates put ting at from 100000 to 15o,0o0 the ndm- Der of shells now being used each day.

 Has Marked Effect
 The refusal of the supreme court yes terday to grant writ of certHorari for
 review of the reversal of the ronvicted officers of the National Cash Register
 company may have some infiuenc on the
 course to be folleued in the fL1ure in respect to criminal actions. Officials pro- fess to have had little confidence that the supreme court would grant this witt be-
 cause of the well-known fact that Nit Is reluctant to deal with criminal caseb. II is believed. however, that the effecS of
 the decision upon public opinion mayt be
 marked, and that administrations in the future may hesitate to bring criminal pl ,o- ceedings of like character at public ey- pense. The department still has an oppol- tunity to push this case by complvin,s with the decree of the federal circuit court and proceeding with a new trial on one of the counts against officials of the Cash Register company which wa s not dismissed. No line of action has been settled upon tonight, and several days
 will elapse before Attorney General Greg ory will reach a decision.
 It was pointed out today that the Cash Register case and that of the suit against the New Haven directors are essentially different and that a failure in one need
 have no bearing on the outcome of the other. Department officials say the New Haven indictments charge acts such as tContinued on Page Nine,
