WAR ARMS MUDDLE.

REVELATIONS

Striking revelations about the supply of munitions in the early days of the Great War were made before the Arms Conmission in London last month by Major- General Sir Stanley von Donop, who was Master-General of the Ordnance and a military member of the Army Council from 1913 to 1916,

Rofuting what he described as albel on the armament firms of England, the statement that they failed in their work in the early stage, he said there was never a shortage of shills, but they had no l'uses and no explosives, Mr. Lloyd George called the shells "a lot of empty murs."

"When I went to place the orders," added Sir Stanley, "they said they could not ac- cept them as Mr. Churchill and ordered the whole of their sup- plies for the Admiralty on the Saturday the day on which I asked Mr. Asquith."
