As for the expenditure of ammunition, I have made rough calculations from which I reach the conclusion that the total expenditure in the last 80 days, on the part of both Germans and ourselves, ba's been between 20,000,000 and 25,000,000 rounds of artillery ammunition,

This figure includes shells of all sizes, from those of ordinary field guns to those fired by large guns and huge howitzers -gus shells, tear shells, incendiary shells, shrapnels, and high explosive of esery description. To those have to be added many hundreds of thousands of trench-mortar projectiles, millions of bombs and hand and rifle grenades, and antuld millions of rifle and machine-gun smmunition. The grand total of missiles fired beyond question runs into hundreds of millions; and this takes do secount of gas clouds, Flammenwerfer, bomba dropped by aeroplanes, and other mis cellaneous instrumenta for the destrue tion of life.
