By Associated Press

Warsaw, August 22.--MiIitary au-
 thorities here announced today that
 the Poles have captured 85,0o0
 prisoners to date in their counter
 ar:aek against the boIsheviki. Many
 guns, thousands of rifles, hundreds
 of machine guns and munitions,
 carts nnd a great number of horses
 also have fallen into their hands.
 Thousands of reds are thought to
 he cut off in the forests, awaiting
 an opportunity te surrender.
 Warsaw, August 21.--The allied mili. tary observers declare that the Poles already have won a victory in their present offensive, but they say the danger has not passed entirely by any means. The Poles have advanced rapid ly at various points wnere the reds have retreated. Sometimes the Poles are out of contact with the enemy. In Warsaw, the bolsheviki are reported to be showing more of an inclination to fight
 The observers say that advancing armies, especially rapidly advancing armies, always have difficulty In nov ing artillery and other heavy material to keep pace with the constantly shift ing infantry. They assert that upon che rapidity of the Polish advance north and northwest depends the fate of the red forces who have reached the cor -ridor.' These reds are roughly esti- mated to have between 20,000 and 30. 0o0 cavalry
 Ii is said that if the Polish drive continues and carries the Poles to the prussian frontier before it is possible for the reds to withdraw from the Thorn region a most interesting situa- ton will result---that the reds will be compelled to surrender, or, if they have sufficient supplies of ammunition, they may endeavor to stand off the Poles lndh hfin'tely, meantime at .empting m encircling movement which might take them across the Vistula in the Posen district and threaten Warsaw fl om the west.
