GERMANS SHORT OF
MEN ON WEST FRONT
IN THE FIELD, FRANCE, Nov.
20.—(By Mail)—Following the sacri
fice of over 600,000 men at Verdun
and the terrible losses sustained on
the Somme, Germany is reduced to
day to such a scarcity of men that she
has only three divisions, or about 45,
000 men, left for her strategical re
serve. Austria is in precisely the
same condition, the troops being held
in reserve by her not exceeding three
divisions.
This information, with supporting
evidence, was placed at my disposi
tion today to refute the claims made
recently by Germany and Austria that
they are holding in reserve a large
strategical army which will be flung
at a given moment on the particular
point where they wish to engage a
decisive battle.
That this condition was brought
about largely through Germany’s ob
stinacy in keeping up the six months’
attack at Verdun was confirmed to
me by the same source. The intelli
gence department of the French army
has been able definitely to ascertain
this.
