18, 100000 RESERVES
FOR TUETONIC ALLIES
Resources of the Fighting Men That
Can Be Drawn Upon, According
to German Newspaper.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-AccoTding to the
Cologne Gazette, the combined strength
of German and Austrian reserves is
100000 men.
There are 2 100000 volunteers in Ger
nrany and $4,000 in Austria, and re-
eruits of the 1914 eonscriptien of both
countries T000,000 each. This makes Il
total of t 4,250, 900, but, according to the
Rheinish paper. this estimate is alto
gether incomplete.
In Germany, as in Austria, that por-
tion of the Bandsturm which has not
yet seen any service is almost as good
as untouched and. according to the
best authorities. this untouched Land
sturm amounts for Germany to Z 900, 900
men. They are between the ages of %
and Is. Already the vast majority of
these men have been Registered by the
military authorities as suitable. Only a
very small percentage may be regarded
as hardly fit for the front, but they are
capable Of other military duties.
In Austria this untouched Landsturm
is placed at 100000, making 10000,
coo for both countries. If we deduct
100000 from this total for volunteers
who have already been counted we get
| total of 14,250,0 as still available
| for active military service, and if the
age limit is raised from 45 to 80 years
and the limit at the other end be re-
duced from 20 to Is years, we obtain
an additional 3.75O,0Oo, which, added
TO IA $50 900, makes the grand total OF
IS 100000.
