ZURICH July 1O.-A war corre-
spendent of the zuericher Post, who
recently returned from the German
front in France. declares Germany
still has vast reserves of fighting men.
THE German losses in the terrific
battles which ragged during the last
three months on the British and
French fronts have been serious, but
not extraordinary, the correspondent
writes. When the great spring drive
Of the allies began in April Hinden-
berg had about 100000 men in reserve
behind his lines and a mobile army
Of 100000 men, which can be used
wherever it may be needed. When |
left the front the reserves had hardly
been touched and the mobile army.
which consists entirely of picked
fresh troops, still waited for it's first
battle.
"A high German officer told me that
the general staff expects to lose 300,-
600 to 100000 men during the sum-
mer, the correspondent continues
SO far the losses have been consid-
erably below the estimate, but even
If they should increase, the $50. 900
men available will be sufficient until
next winter and Hindenberg will not
be compelled to draw on his mobile
army to fill the gaps at the front.
During the summer months about
| 100000 men, who have been released
from the factories, mines, ETC., by the
creation of the great industrial home
army will become ready for service
at the front. This force consists most
ly of men who formerly were rejected
or excused and belonged to the class
of unframed reserves.
THE fighting value of these troops
is probably below the German average
but they have been thoroughly train
ed for six months and will undoubted-
ly give a good account of themselves.
Late in the fall Hindenberg will
get an entirely fresh army of about
100000 men, as the recruits of 1918
who were called to the colors in Feb
ruary will then be ready to go to the
front
The German army is much larger
today than during the first year of
the war" the correspondent concludes.
AT the front and during my travels
in Germany 1 have studied the mill
tary resources of the empire closely
and l am convinced that lack of hu-
man material will not force the Ger
mans to ask for peace.
THE great danger which confronts
them lies in the internal situation. If
they cannot break the strangle hold
of the British blockade with the sub
marines their situation will become
desperate next January. The people
know this and there is much unrest
among the masses.
BY granting the democratic re-
forms demanded by the Socialists and
other progressive elements the gov
ernment will be able to quiet the
growing dissatisfaction, but only fol
a time. The German nation wants
peace as much as the Russian work
ing classes and is willing to give III
all former war aims, if only the in
tegrity of the empire and the return
OF the colonies are assured"

VIENNA, July 1O.=The semi-official
Fremdenblatt, discussing the Serbian
question, says the conquered kingdom
VIII surely be re-established, but only
as it was before the first Balkan war.
"Austria-Hungary does not want to
wipe Serbia from the map forever, but
must insist that the peace of the Dual
Monarchy shall never again be threat
ened by this turbulent little king
DOM" the paper says. "A very simple
way to solve the Serbian problem
would be to merge Old Serbia, Mon
tenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and
parts of Croatia and Slavonia into an
autonomous state of the Austro-Hun-
garian monarchy.
Such an arrangement would bring
all Serbs under a government of their
own and would give them not only al
most complete independence, but also
an outlet to the sea. There is no pros
pect, however, that this plan can be
carried out The Serbs will insist on
the restoration of their kingdom, even
if they are not able to reconquer it
with the aid of their allies.
I'VE are perfectly willing to give
them back all of the Old Serbian ter
ritory, but Macedonia, with it's Bull
Sarlan population, VIII remain Ill the
possession of Bulgaria, and for our
own safety we must insist on certain
changes of the frontiers between Aus
tro-Hungary and Serbia. The Serbian
demand for an indemnity is a piece of
impudence and not worthy of serious
discussion"
IN regard to Montenegro the paper
gays that this country will be re-es-
ftablished as it was before the war, but
that Mount Lovcen must remain in
Austrian possession. The only condi-
tion for the evacuation of the kingdom
will be that King Nicholas shall alb
dicate in favor of his second son,

the fact that such interest would not
