BRITISH SUSTAIN
HEAVY Gun LOSSES
WINSTON CHURCHILL MAKES RE.
PORT TO PARLIAMENT, But DE-
CLARES THAT EVERY GUN HAS
BEEN REPLACED.

LONDON, April 30.-Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill introducing in the house
OF house 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
opened they had been passing through
tn 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,
bnt there also were very heavy losses
by capture by the enemy
1--WE lost, the minister said near
" a thousand guns by shellfire or cap
ture; between four thousand and five
thousand machine guns have been lost
of destroyed and the quantity of am
nlunition, apart from that which has
been fired and that which has been lost
in the dumps, amounted to something
between one and three weeks total
of manufacture.
"Other war materials have been
used or lost in great variety Of
classes and on a similar scale, but by
the end of last week all the losses
had been made good and in many
cases more than made good.
Large quantities of small arm am
munition have been lost or left be-
hind but, great as the demand has
been, the expenditure in the past
month did not exceed the maximum
potential capacity of the British fac
tories, without touching enormous re-
serves which had accumulated against
such a contingency The wastage of
rifles was very great, but the losses
were quite easily and promptly made
good
"Our preparations had contemplated
d period of supreme battle intensity
from the third week of February in
stead of from the third week of March,
so we are at present from one to three
weeks to the good"
