don to indicate that tlio German mil
itary chiefs have, decided to concen
trate their cneglcs at tho present
fitnno of tlio war toward dealing it
possible, a crushing bloxv to Russia.
Kuch frafiinentary reports as xvcro
received today from tlio eastern ioiio
ot flKhthiK showed that tlio German
army was still pressing tlio Russians
back through Russian Poland, over
thu same battle fields across which
tho Russians a fexv xxoeka ago xvero
advancing victoriously. No clear ex
planation has been niado of tho ro
verbal In form ot tlio opposing artu
leu, nlthougli it has been reported on
soxeral occasions Hint tho Oernians
xxero sending thousands of their fin
est troops from Trauco and Delgtum
to tho cast.
Russian Adxanco Continues ,
Thu Russian war chiefs stato that
their advanco In Kast rrusslu and Ca
uda continues In splto ot their ad
mitted retreat In tho center. Ger
man strategists hcltovo that continued
rovorses In Russian Poland would
forco tho Rushl.ius to draw back
their northern and bouthetn armies.
German opinion admits ot no
doubt as to tho outcome of tho xvar
xxlth Russia. General Von llluden
burg, Germany's popular lioro of thu
fighting in thu oust, is quoted us
saying that Get many nnd Austria
will win, although outnumbered, .be
ciuibo they have htronger iiurvoH and
becaiibo their soldiers do their own

LONDON', Nov. 20, l:.-7 p. in.
The houe of commons today fonn
nlly passed tho voto for the .supple
mentary army anil estimate which
provides for mi additional nnuy of
1,000,000 men.
This Is tho additional million men
mentioned by Premier Asquith In tho
Houfeo of Commons last Wednesday
night. It is apart from tho territor
ials, and Is additional to tlio 1,100,
000 men said already to be under
arms.
Referring to tho supplementary es
timate, Harold J. Teunant, under sec-
rotary ot stato for xvar, said tho offi
cial loxv xx as that this further mil
lion men ought to bo sufficient, so
far as the government was ablo to boo
at present, to croxvn lhitlsh anna
with success. Ho declined to give
tho actual numbers ot men enlisted
but remarked that tho figures re
cently given out by tlio prima minis
ter, which were roughly In tlio neigh
borhood of 1,100,000 wore beloxv
rather than above tho actual total.
Tho present Idea of tho war office,
Mr, Tennant continued, xvns to du
plicate tho territorial forco, making
ono battalion for homo defense- and
tlio other for foreign service.
With regard to tho suggestions
that Lord Kitchener's army of re
cruits bhould ho treated unllko tlio
professional soldiers, Mr, Tennant re
marked: "Tho chief characteristic
of Lord Kltchouer Is not sentiment,
nor oven persuasive eloquence Those
advocatos of differential treatment
would make htm change his decision
in n matter on which ho fools strongly."

leave it undefended before the troops
approaching from the north, or
whether his forces were to he replac
ed with other Cnrrnnza troops moving

supporters.
Mr. Sillimnn milled that railroad

Tho stato department received no
