AUSTRO-GERMANY IN BAD PLIGHT.
NO RESERVE SINCE VERDUN OFFENSIVE. UNHAPPY SOLDIERS ALWAYS MOVING. Retter's Tilcgrains. (Received October 3, 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, October 2. A correspondent at tbc KYeuch Headquarters states that, having no strategic reserve, the Germans are forced to hurl their unhappy soldiers from one battlefield to another, without proper time. Pushing this method to the utmost, the enemy seems able to keep a sort of flying reserve, dozens of divisions appearing now on the Somme, now at Verdun, and now in Galieia. It appears that Austria and Germany have actually a reserve of not more than three divisions each, compared with Germany's eight on the Western Front alone prior to the offensive against .! Verdun. !
