hurl their unhappy soldiers from one battlefield to another without proper time for rest. By pushing this method to the utmost, the enemy seems to be able to keep a sort of flying reserve, dozens of divisions apDoaring now on the Somme, now at Verdun, and now in Galicia, but it appears that Austria and Germany have actually a reserve of not more than three divisions each, compared _ with Germany’s reserve of eight divisions on the western front alone prior to the assault on Verdun.
