munitions Made Faster Than Lost
Churchill Tells of English Prcpa-
ratiOns.

London. April 25.-Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, introducing in the
house today the estimate for the min
istry of munitions, of which he is the
head, said that during the five weeks
since the battle in France had OPEN
eel they had been passing through
the greatest strain regarding the sup
ply Of war material that had oc-
CURED i'm the experience of the min
istry
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
~ capture of the enemy.
"We lost" minister said, NEARLY
900 guns by shell fire or capture;
between 1000 and 5000 machine
guns have been lost or destroyed and
the quantity of ammunition apart
from that which has been fred and
which has been lost in the dumps,
amounts to something between one
and three weeks total of manufac-
ture.
"Other war materials have been
used or lost i'm great variety OF
classes and on similar scale but by
the end Of last week, all the losses
had been made good.
Vast quantities Of small arms am
munition have been lost or left behind
but, great as the demand has been
the expenditure in the last month did
not exceed the maximum potential ca =
pacity of the British factories, with
out touching enormous reserves which
had accumulated against such a con-
tingency. The wastage OF rifles was
very great.
Our preparations had contemplate
Cd period of supreme battle inten-
sity from the third week of February
instead of from the third week of
March, so we are at present from one
to three weeks to the good. Those
calculations allowed the artillery to
fire during the whole fighting season
considerably heavier volume oi
shells than was expended weekly
during the offensive battles of last
year and more than double the vol
ume of shells fired during the terrific
tombardment which characterized
the Somme offensive Of 1916. They
also provided for the carrying for
ward into 1919 OF sufficient re-
serves to allow the British total to
mount one step higher then in power
and. intensity.
I'm fact. barring Unforeseen cir
cumstances our supply of munitions
would enable US to carry on battle
at the supreme heights of intensity
until winter without compromising
our requirements for 1919"

REJECTS CLOTHING
 WITHOUT RESULTS

When Manuel Lopez Salvarcio de- nied the clothing was his which the state had conclusively proved belonged to him, County Attorney l.. M. Laney suggested to the court that the gar ments and the suit case in which they were exhibited be turned over to Con- stable 0. l.. Picken~ and donated to the Mesa auxiliary of the Central Ar izona chapter of the Red Cross. The order was made.
 Salvarcio was on trial for assault with deadly weapon. He was accused of hitting a Chinaman, Joe Wah, over the head with a pistol when he robbed him of his watch and moneybag. The articles belonging to the Chnaman were found in the clothes which Sal varcio declared were not his own. al though the fit proved excellent when he tried them on in the court room. It took a jury two minutes to find him guilty of the crime charged and he will be sentenced by Judge Stanford Monday morning.
