ENEMY SHORT OF GUN TUBES
GERMAN ANXIETY DISCLOSED IN CAPTURED. ORDERS. Australian-New Zealand Cable Association. London, October 19. The "Daily Chronicle's" correspondent at Paris states that two more captnred German Army Orders emphasise the importance of economy in material. General Von Gallwitz, on August 1, complained of the fearful number of accidental explosions of gun tubes (barrels). Unless the-bungling ceases, he stated, there will soon be a. sensible diminution in the German artillery power. , ' General von Bulow, on August 9, makes a similar complaint, especially in connection with field guns. His Order concludes: "The replacement of cannon put out of action is now gravely compromised," and adds that the War Minister states that it is no longer possible to increase the supply of cannon tubes. . .'■.,
