(Australian ■ and. 2v.Z. Aasocjatioß.) (Received November 12th, 5.5 p.m.) ROME, November 11. The "Messagero" estimates the Austrian losses in the Car&o at nearly 60 per cent, of the effectives engaged in the contest. The battle revealed* that the Austrians no longer have a limitless quantity of munitions. Prisoners state that niany batteries ceased fire owing to the lack of shells. The increasing activity on all fronts involves the expenditure of munitions and guns at a far greater rate than Germany and Austria arc capable of producing them. Bulgaria and Turkey are producing nothing.
