1nunition, nothing but ammunition.
This is the essential problem which
the war presents in the opinion Of
Field Marshal Sir John French. com
|nlander OF the British forces IN
France and Belgium, according to a
carrespcndent at British adquartel;s.
Ammunition is the prerequisite o.
!all pushing ahead, u Sir John is quoted
as saying. Everyone needs plenty OF
ammunition but the Germans need it
more than we do. have had "a feel
ing for some time past they We're be
ing sparing OF their shells. They don't
squander them as at the beginning.
They are economiz1ng because sl the
lack Of nftrates necessary for the
manufacture OF explosives is making
itself felt in germany. Neither IS the
morale OF their troops the same. Gne
gets from them an expression OF ia
tigue and lassitude. They had based
all their calculations on sudden,
smashing victory That p1an failed
and the state Of mind of their troops
has suffered as a consequence. Econ
Ionric difficulties in the interior of the
German empire are daily becoming
more serious. No doubt the Germans
istlll are far from famine but they
tmanifestly are hampered in obtaining
Be- food supply and that Is a great deal.
III do not believe it will be a long war.

LONDON, Mar. 23--The fall of
Przetnysl is characterized here as the
throwing down OF the last bar Of the
gateway into Hungary and an early
Russian advance in that direction is
anticipated in England. The Ger
man press praises warmly the gal
lantry OF the defenders of this Gill
clan fortress. while atthe same time
lit does not attempt to minimize the
effects OF its surrender and express
es uneasiness concerning the result
on the long eastern battlefront or the
Teutonfc allies.
The latest authentic information
from the Dardane11es sets forth posi-
lively that only the secondary de-
fenses OF the straits have suffered
from the bombardment of the allied
fleet The other forts in the mar
rows are intact. This report finds
confirmation in the present status or
1he diplomatic situation in the near
east, which indicates the Balkan
states are no nearer intervention in
the quarrel than they were when the
allied feet first appeared off the Oar
danelles. In spite Of the optimistic
lone of the Greek prss IL is not gen
orally believed in London that the
Entente powers haze made any fur
&ther advances to the new Greek cab
met, while in Grecian circles there is
growing an uneasy feeling that Bull
garia may again assert her prtnacy
in Balkan affairs by taking the first
step toward active participation in
the struggle.
The lull along the western battle
front nov apparently, is being dupli-
Gated in the east, where nothing
more than isolated actions are being
reported.
Aviators OF the allies have retail
ated for the German raid on Paris by
forays over territory occupied by the
German army.
Interest In the blockade centers
today on the attack Of German aero
planes on Dutch cargo ships. one Of
which flew the flag OF the commission
on Belgian relief. Holland Is await
ing information from Berlin before
making a formal protest in this con
nection.
