The Polish victory over the Bolshevik invaders seems to be

complete. Up to Friday week the Poles had taken 107,000 prisoners. The Bolshevik losses in killed and wounded were estimated at 50,000, and 30,000 men had taken refuge with the friendly Germans in East Prussia. The Bolsheviks probably regret still more the loss of their guns, munitions and rolling- stock, which they cannot replace as easily as the men. The Poles have freed almost the whole of Ethnic Poland up to the Niemen. Further south they have liberated Eastern Galicia to the Dniester and the Sereth. The Bolshevik counter-offensive, which was announced from Moscow, has not begun.
