BRITISH MATERIAL
LOSS DURING Big
BATTLE ENORMOUS
Losses All Replaced, While
Ammunition Reserves Are
Large Enough to Continue
Struggle Until Winter.
AN Reriew I.eased Wirel

LONDON, April 25.-Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, introducing in the house
of commons today. the estimates for
the ministry of munitions of which he
is the head. said that during the five
weeks since the battle in France had
begun they had been passing through
the greatest strain regarding the sup
ply of war material that had occurred
in the experience of the ministry.
Not only had the consumption and
destruction of munitions of all kinds
been proceeding at the greatest rate,
but there also were very heavy losses
by capture by the enemy.
1000 Guns Lost
I'VE lost" the minister said, near
ly a thousand guns by shell fire or
capture; between 1000 and 5000 ma
chine guns have been last or destroyed
and a quantity of ammunition, apart
from that which had been fired and
that which has been lost in the dumps
amounted to something between one
and three weeks total of manufac-
ture.
"Other war materials have been
used or lost on similar scale, but by
the end of last week all the losses
had been made good and in many
cases moret han made good
Plenty Ammunition Left
Vast quantities of small arm am
munition have been lost or left be-
hind, but. breat as the demand has
been the expenditure in the last month
did not exceed the maximum potren-
tial capacity of the British factories
without touching enormous reserves,
which had accumulated against such
a contingency.
Our preparation has contemplated
a period of supTam ebattle intensity
stead of from the third week of March,
so we are at present from one to
three weeks to the good
In fact barring unforeseen circum-
stances, our supply of munitions will
enable us to carry on battle at the
supreme pitch of intensity until winter
without compromising our require
ments for 1919. This is despite the
fact that a hundred thousand men
were taken from the munition fac
tories for service in the army.
Make Many Planes
I'VE are making in a single week
more airplanes than we made in the
whole of 1914; in a single month more
than we made in the whole of 1915;
in three months more than we made
in the whole of 1916 And we are GO
ing to make this year several times
what we made last year"
Referring to the German war minis
ter's claim to the capture of more
than twice the number of guns than he
had announced, Mr. Churchill said the
German claim was grotesque pxag-
geration and untrue

well as at other points, but there were
no serious retirements. The French
artillery constantly poured shells al
mast point blank into the German in

have adopted extended formation dur

The enemy infantry battalions now
are coming into the fight with the
lightest possible equipment. The na-
jOrity of the men do not even carry
hand grenades.
Whether these attacks will develop
into a resumption of the general Of

cast; but it seems probable that the
Germans are pursuing their usual prac-
tees of pushing at various points in
the line until they find one which
seems weaker than the others. Then
they throw themselves forward with
all their available strength at that
point with the hope of breaking
