FROM THE FRINGES OF AN ILL-ASSORTED EMPIRE

* THE GERMAN RESERVES CKmes' and Sydney Sun Services.) (Received October 1, 8 a.m.) LONDON, 30th September. ' A Times correspondent in France describing the prisoners taken, says that a curious 1 point is that the majority are, of the Slav type, clearly drawn from the fringes of Germany's ill-assorted Empire. They are not inspired by any virulent antipathy to their opponents. Germany, in order to succeed, must not only keep her armies at full strength, but the reserves at white heat, and the whole in a fanatical, unyielding spirit. If Germany still has numbers of men, it is doubtful if they are of the right kind. Her stalwarts of the first line have mostly found graves in Flanders and Champagne, and in far-away Poland. - AIX-LA-CHAPELLE SHELLED FROM THE AIR. ROTTERDAM, 30th September.
