By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Priority of ammunition move
ment was advanced by Army au-
|thorities today as one explanation
of cigarette shortages in France.
With the present big push de-
veloping, shells were unloaded in
stead of smokes, resulting in a "cer-
tain piling up" Of shipping, it was
explained.
Soldiers have been wondering why
post exchanges in England and in
French areas back of the front
have to hold off on sales for a while
to all but air forces. Offcials here
gave assurances that it was only
temporary.
Sufficient cigarettes have been
going over. There is no question
about that" they said.
Officials asserted no large cargo
had been lost, but they refused to
comment on dispatches which re-
ferred to reports of black market
operations.
The crlmp was put in sales to
permit sufficient smokes to get to
the men in the front lines, it was
