SUPERIOR NUMBERS OF

CEN. VON JNOENBORC
Berlin. via The Hague and Lon<lou,
}vov. 20. 5.21 A. Xl.—*'The Russians
have numbers on their side but num
bers aione are not the decisive factor,
in the present stage of the war, less
than ever before, we are not afraid or 1
Kussian numerical superiority. At Tan
nenburg the Russians outnumbered us
three to one yet the 4esult was a no

These are the views of General Yon
Hindenburg, now lacing the greit f
Russian war machine, as expressed in
conversation with the Berlin corre
spondent of the "Neue Freie Prcsse,
of Vienna.
"The Russians." said General Von
Hindenburg, "are good soldiers aud
observe discipline, but discipline of an-.
other sort than that of the Austro-
German which is based on thinking;
and the execution of command, while i
the Russian discipline is a mere blind,
dull obedience.

the science of entrenching, but when

"It i- a but good thing that war
and sentimentality do not go together. l
The -merciless conduct of war is in the
end the most merciful because war is l
soonest ended thereby.
"The war with Russia is now chiefly
! a question of whose nerves will snap
first. If Austria and Germany have j
stronger nerves—and they have them
—then they will be victorious."

IDE I BATTLE
IIWBST POLIID
Conflict Is in Full Prog
ress but No Definite
Decision Has Yet
Been Reached
MEAGRE NEWS OF
THE STRUGGLE
Fighting Previously Reported Eastward
of Mazurian Lakes Seems to Have
B«eu Merely Preliminary to General
Engagement Along Whole Line
Berlin, Via The Hague aiid liomion,
Nov. 20, 2.45t A. M. —The great bat
tle in West Poland is in full progress.
Official reports state that no decision
has yet been reached but otherwise no
definite details are known here of this
titanic struggle which fav overshadows
the conflict on the west front.
The engagements previously report
ed eastward of the Mazuriau lakes, at
Soldnu, Lipo, Wloclawek ami Cracow
seem to hav t > been merely preliminaries
to a general engagement along the
whole line. The German bulletin men
tions lighting northward of Lodz whale
the Austrian* report the advance of
th«ir army northward from Craow and
it is evident that the allies and the
Russians are engaged in the center
along a north and south line. Hence
lit seems that the Teutonic allies are
! le\elling a concentric attack from three
I directions against the Russian force.
Favoranle to Dual Monarchy
How the struggle is progressing is
I utterly unknown here. The newspaper
I critics interpret conditions as generally
favorable to the Atistro-Germans and
] assert that the German advance beyond
Mlawa and t lie vicinity of Plock has
I eliminated danger of an invasion of east
1 and west Prussia except by such caval
i rv forces as are operating northward of
' Kydkuhnien, in Kast Prussia, on the
i Russian border. These, however, aro
j only raiders.
Major Moraht, the military critic of
I the •' Tageblatt,'' declares that General
! Von Hindenburg's advance south of the
j Vistula, has exercised effective pre" !
| sure on the whole Russian right wing I
and deflected it southward from its nat-j
I urul line of retreat 011 Warsaw. The |
I chief fighting is now proceeding to the)
| southeast and east of Kutno, between!
J Lodz and Lowiez, on the Bezura river, j
! The situation, Major Moraht says, gives j
) the Germans ground for hope of com- j
i plete success, particularly since strong
| Russian forces operating north of the J
' Vistula against the line front Thorn to I
: .Mlawa have driven back against the:
| line of the River Bug.
Gives Credit to Austrian Armies j
Major Moraht gives full credit to |
j the co-operation of tiMp Austrian armies,
which by their offensive front Cracow i
j lias drawn upon themselves strong Kits
| sian forces and have prevented their
; detachment against the Germans in the j
north. The Austrians, he says in a self- j
sacrificing poliey, have throughout!
played the game conscientiously and 1
subordinate their own particular inter-,
i ests to th;;se of the general campaign. ;
Km per or William has telegraphed j
[General Von 11 in den burg the imperial
thanks for the victory of great promise!
in the lirst operations of the battles!
in West Poland and has sent greetings
and his gratitude to the troops of the
east army for their unparalleled deeds)
of marching and fighting.

YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR
WASH DANDRUFF
The Simplest and Quickest Way Is to
Dissolve It
The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring: use enough to
moisjten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this to-night, and by morning
most if not all ot' your dandruff will be
gone, and three or four more applica
tions will completely dissolve and en
tirely destroy, every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You Till find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
ance, and your hair rc ill be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your liair, do
by all means get rid of dandruff, I'or
nothing destroys the hair more quickly.
It not only starves the hair and
it fall out, but it makes it stringy,
straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless,
and everyone notices it. Von can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It is
inexpensive and never fails to do tho
work. Adv.
