soldiers, more patriotic citizens and re-
sources greater than ever. II should help

England's Shortage OF Munitions.

The publication in book form in
this country of Lord FRENcH's his
tory of his command of the British
Expedltionary Force for the first ten
months of the war gives American
readers an insight into the British
munitions shortage from viewpoint
hitherto denied them, that Of the COM
handing General Of the Expeditionary
Force. Although 1t Is now four years
since Colonel REpINoTON's exposure Of
the shortage of guns and shells ap-
peared in the London Times, the re-
verberations aroused by that disclos-
ure, are revived in the memory by
reading the tale Lord FRENCH tells
In >"1914," as his book Is entitled.
Great Britain has been hearing these
'reverberations Of the late spring OF
1915 once again. in May, 1919, for
with the publication Of Lord FRENcH's
charges as to the shortage of guns
and munitions Mr.. AsoUITH has ex-
planned in a public address at New
castle his conduct regarding the mu-
nitions supply for the Expedltionary
Force in the period covered by Lord
FREYcH's narrative. His defence is
that Lord KITCHENER told him the
troops in France had ample supplies,
and lie considered the Secretary of
State for War the best possible au-
thority on the subject.
Lord FRENCH states that during
his term as Chief of the Imperial
General Staff, from 1912 to early In
1914, he had urged the need OF a
greater supply of munitions. particu-
larly high explosive shells. He based
these needs on the experiences OF the
South African war and the Manchu-
rian campaign. But the Treasury OPP
posed him and he believed the Ord
nance Board was not in favor Of
some of his ideas. When the Expedi-
tionary Force arrived in France In
the middle of August, 1914, "muni-
lions and supplies were we'll provided
for, and there were at least 1000
rounds per gun and 800 rounds per
rifle" But that comment of Lord
FREycH's was made before the allied
forces experienced the full strength
of the German artillery and machine
guns. BY September "a FRENCH had
received the first six inch siege how
itzers, but he and his men had al
, ready felt the effect of the German
eight inch guns OF the same type
Five days before that HAIG had giver
the French Zouaves on his right 40,
600 ratlons of bully beef in exchange
for the loan of two heavy guns" Sc

Germany's scuttied Fleet.

The scuttling OF the German war
ships interned in Scapa Flow In
evitably recalls the damage inflicted
on merchantmen tied up in American
ports when the Kaiser's Government
announced in its note Of January 81,
1917, its intention to prosecute un-
restricted summarize war. In that
historic case the orders to smash the
machinery came from Berlin. In the
present instance 1t is obvious that a
carefully concerted plan was carried
out In each case the Germans to
whom the care Of the ships was en-
trusted performed their destructive
functions coincidently with the reach
ing Of momentous decision by the
German Government.
Most persons will agree with Ad-
mlral SIMS In the opinion that the
Germans have done a foolish thing.
Article XXXI. Of the armistice
reads: "No destruction Of ships or
Of materials to be permitted before
evacuation. surrender or restoration"
Under this clause the German care
takers on the interned warships were
obligated to protect the ships to
which they were assigned until the
fate of the vessels was decided.
Admiral Sir CYPRAN A. BRIDGE Of
the British Navy declares that the
sinking Of the ships is a "breach Of
the terms of the armistice and tanta-
mount to a new act Of war" Ad.
miral SINS, whose Acquaintance with
the temper of the British naval au.
thorities enables him to speak with
intimate knowledge of the situation,
feels that this act of the Germans
will "only make the terms harder
for them.
In Great Britain and in this country
there was strong feeling among
naval men that the German capital
ships should be strapped or sunk to
get rid Of them. This was based on
the opinion that they were unsuitable
for inclusion in the feet Of any other
nation. But France has been repre-
sented as anxious to acquire some OF
the vessels that have been 1nglori.
ously sent to the bottom. and this
incident Is likely further to excite
French animosity against the Ger.
man people. ,..-
This unprecedented destruction OF
warships will of course be carefully
Investigated by the Allies and the
United States and an interesting de
tail Of the inquiry will have to dc
with the question whether the Ger.
mans in the Scapa Flow have been
in communication with weimar OF

New Light on the saraJeyo Tragedy.

A telegram that is peculiarly flu
minative upon the Sarajevo tragedy,
the fifth anniversary Of which comes
next Saturday, and the position which
it held as an melting cause Of the
war has been published at Berlin by
MAMMALIAN HARDEN, the editor OF
Zukunft. This telegram, which was
received at the Vienna Foreign Office
and dated July IS, 1914. fifteen days
before Austria's formal declaration
of war against Serbia, says: 1.-The
Serbian Government, against which
no evidence can be produced, has no
responsibility for the murder"
No one has yet given to the assas-
sination of FRAME FERDINAND and his
consort at the Bosnian capital the
place that 1t win ultimately hold in
the history of the war. Its position in
the past. however, is unquestioned (;
1t afforded to Austria Hungary an
opportunity to defend herself. however
speciously, before the world for the
demands she made upon her neighbor
south of the Danube.
On the capture OF Belgrade Austrian
officials reported the seizure of docu-
ments which proved the cooperation of
Serbian army and civic officials. even
Of members Of the royal family, with
the Bosnian assassins. These docu-
ments were never published. At the
trial of PMScIP, CABRINovIc and the
other actual perpetrators OF the crime
an effort was made to show that while
they were Bosnians by birth they
were Serbian sympathlzers, members
of the Serbian secret society Ma
rodna Odbrana, and that they were
supplied with revolvers and bombs
by officers OF Serbian arsenals. Aus.
trian court officials in the report OF
this trial sent out to the world as.
serted that confession covering all
these points Of Serbian participation
in the crime were obtained from all
the defendants. The few Serbs who
We're permitted to attend the trla
declare that no such confessions were
made in court.

An Albany despatch reports the in
corporation of s50,000.oo0 candy
company whose treasurer walked up
to the receiving teller of the Secretary
Of State and, without vince, as an
evidence Of good faith paid in the
required charter fee Of SOS 900. Here
Is big business, Of interest as such, but
Of greater interest because Of the an!
nounced reason for the investment Of
so respectable sum for the manufac-
ture Of candy: that 1t is to meet the
expected demand by those soon to be
deprived of alcoholic stimulants.
All such business enterprises which
will even incidentally help accelerate
the. moral Improvement Of mankind
have Of course greatly attracted the
approving interest of THE Sun. We
have been inquiring.
We find that many dealers In sub
stitutes which have more or less vogue
as easements of rum thirsts agree
that sugar has the kick, as the puts
sance Is affectionately called by those
who have encountered 1t, the voltage,
or authority sought by those who are
already experimenting with a virtue
which will soon become a necessity.
But not all give undivided applause
to sugar in the form of candy. That,
say some, has not the advantage Of
sweet drinks. These, Ii is argued.
and reasonably so 1t may be, admin
lister the admitted physical benefits Of
sugar and at the same time confer q
precious boon in the way Of sugges-
ton. A sensitive subject, the argu-
ment goes, holding glass filled with
soft sweet drink, II 1t be amber or
reddish in color, with one foot firmly
fixed on a brass rail, can, in the Ian
guage of our informant, ICON himself
into the assuaging belief that he is
getting what his palate pleads for.
But some specialists scoff at sweets
and give testimony in favor Of fruit
acids. One declared stoutly that after

in appropriate technical phraseology,
"who are taperlng of from fifteen or
twenty day"-aicoholic beverages

strong on apples. There's pep in o
pippin, as the fellow says"
These opinions are all reassurlng'
There surely must be found many
satisfying and healthful substitutes.
We have heard strong black coffee,
sweetened to taste; spicy cheese
toasted biscuit and rich preserve
served with or before the coffee,
highly spoken Of, and even water has
been mentioned as having potentiali'
ties for lulling riotous thirst into
peaceful quiescence.

A Mediterranean Mystery to Be Studied
in the Dry Days.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN--sir:: There
has always existed a curious freak OF
nature which few people ever heard OF.
I refer to the facts that while every
river in southern Europe, and the Nile
in Egypt. flows into the Mediterranean
Sea, and the waters Of the Atlantic
Ocean pour through the Straits Of 0i-
bfaitar into the Mediterranean at the
rate Of about I'VE miles an hour coE-
stsntly (they never run out). and also
the Mediterranean Is practically tide
less sea, the question naturally arises.
Where does all this water go. az the
Mediterranean has no outlet7
Evaporation has been suggested but
is not a conclusive answer. Ever since
old Hercules tore those pillars asunder
the mystery has existed.
