SHORTAGE OF
AMMUNITION
Is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
RECENT REVERSES
OF RUSSIANS.
Japs Supplied Most of Munitions
Early In War Now De- r.
pends on United States.

WASHINGTON. June 7.-Reports
from various sources have convinced
military experts OF the truth OF
claims that recent Russian reverses
nave been due'in large part to short
age of ammunition.
Until the harbor at Archangel 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 reaching
the country in quantity was the trans
Siberian railway.
Jpanese ammunition factories sup
piled practically all their output to the
Russians early in the war But the
disagreement between China and
Japan over the japanese demands and
the prospect OF war in the Far East
caused Japan to hold its war supplies
in reserve temporarily. reducing traf-
flee in munitions over the trans
Siberian route to the products OF
American factories reaching the Far
East

EXAM PAPERS
WERE STOLEN

ANNAPOLIS. Md. June THAT
there was reason to believe that at
tempts had been made to enter the
desks OF the heads of at least four
naval academy departments and Sc
cure the examinations in advance was
the testimony given late to-day by
Rear Admiral Fullam. superintendent
OF the academy. before the Daval
court OF inquiry appointed by Secre-
tary Daniels to investigate charges of
irregularities in examinations. It r.
the belief OF the authorities. however.
that only one attempt had been actu-
ally successful. This was in the case
OF the department OF modern Ian
Ruages.
The reading of the record Of testi-
mony taken before the board of in
vcstigation appointed by Rear Admi-
raj Fullam occupied the court from
10 o'clock this morning until after .
o'clock this afternoon. with only a
short intermission for luncheon.
Then Admiral Fullam was on the wit
ness stand until a few minutes be
fore o'clock. He did not finish his
direct testimony. and viii resume
when the court re-opens at o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Papers Stolen.
The testimony read from the record
showed that the examination papers
for the first. second. third and fourth
classes in Spanish to all appearance
was stolen. and that following this
there was general dissemination
from the hands Of the friends OF Mid
shipman James Moss. OF the third
class Of Good Dope" for all of these
classes.
The main point brought out was that
the superintendent OF the academy
and the board of inquiry found the
youths who used only copies OF these
papers which Midshipman Moss had.
and which IL is claimed he received
anonymously in a plain envelope more
culpable than the youths who actually
saw or used the papers which Moss
had

5000 EMPLOYEES OF LACKA,
WANA STEEL co. GET
RAISE IN WAGES

Last Saturday about 5000 EN-
ployes of the Lackawana Steel
Co. of Buffalo, N. Y, received an
increase in pay of from 8 to 10
per cent. This raise in wages
is made voluntarily by the COM
pany and is a splendid index to
the prosperity that has been
made possible by a popular
Democratic administration in
this country,
Raises in wages are anticipat-
ed by the employees of the va
rious other industries through
out the country, and there is a
general feeling that these in
cresases will be voluntary in
most instances, as it is well
known that the present cost Of
living is entirely out of proper
tion to the income of the average
omploye.

LITERARY SOCIETY PRO-
GRAM TONIGHT

The regular fortnightly pro-
gram of the Harrington Liter
airy Society will be rendered to-
night, Friday, at the High
School Auditorium, beginning at
l8 o'clock.
The debate, between the Far
lnington and Flat River societies
which was announced last week,
has been postponed for one
month, owing to the unavoidable
absence of two of the debaters,
and to take the place of the de-
bate which was to have been held
tonight, the program committee
has arranged for the program
tonight to be given by the fac
ulty Of the newly organized
School of Fine Arts. The time
being so short it is impossible to
publish the program that will
be rendered, but the public is as
sured an enjoyable evening, the
teacher of the School of Fine
Arts being well known to the
Pennington public.
AS an additional attraction,
Miss Flay Shields, the Instruc-
tor in Piano and Voice at Carle-
ton College, has also kindly con-
cented to appear upon the pro-
gram, and from all reports is
sure to prove very pleasing in
deed to the audience, who will
be glad to welcome her upon her
first appearance before the Far
mington public.
AS will be announced from
the platform tonight, the next
regular program of the society
will be given by the faculty of
the Schubert School of Music,
who so delightfully."- entertained
the society audience upon one
occasion last year with a special
program. Hon. Walter L. Hen
sley will also deliver a short ad-
dress at that time, the date be-
ing October 22d.

AT the Pennington High
School Auditorium last Friday
evening, DR.. Dalton Of St. Louis,
under the auspices Of the u. d.
c., delivered a very interesting
talk on the life of the great
Confederate, General Robert E.
Lee. The Doctor has the dis
tinction of having been eminent
ly associated with General Lee
in his work while the latter
was President of the Washing
ton University, 1866-70.
DR.. Dalton confined his talk
principally, if not altogether, on
the stern and infexible charac-
teristic traits of the Generals
life, portraying his life as a mod
ell of Christian ideals in war as
well as in peace. We congratu-
late the United Daughters of
the Confederacy Of Pennington
for the good work they are do
ing, and especially for securing
