Berlin, Nov. 20. The " Deutscher Ueberseedienst reports:
Despite the great numbers of Russians in Poland which are estimated by military experts here at 900,000, excluding those in the region of Schirwindt on the East Prussian frontier north of Eydkuhnen, there is complete confidence that Field Marshal von Hindenburg will soon be able to report a decisive victory. The Russian positions are considered to be unfavourable both on account of the nature of the ground and because such a great force is concentrated in a comparatively small territory.
"Th: Times" estimates the Russian losses in their last defeat by Field Marshal Hindenburg to be from forty to fifty thousand.
Vienna reports successes in Poland including the occupation of Tarnow and Weiliezka and the taking of 7,000 prisoners, eighteen machine and several other guns.
The interest in the situation on the western theatre of war is momentarily only secondary.
