ON THE RUN.
WILL THE KAISER. GET THERE FIRST? [Router's Telegram.]
Berlin, August 17-
The Kaiser has left for Warsaw, presumably to proclaim the autonomy of Poland.
[Australian-N.Z. Cablo Association, Petrograd. August. 17.
A delinite Russian pronouncement as to tiie future of Poland is expected daily. The censorship has been relaxed, permitting frank discussion. Many writers point out that wJieroas Russia has given the Pole's vague; promises, Germany has already granted several ardently-sought politicalrights. The tenor of the discussion has occasioned a. widespread belief that Russia hopes to anticipate Germany's imminent proclamation of autonomy.
It is fully believed that the Kaiser's visit to Warsaw in the next lew days foreshadows a proclamation.
Russian Poles are urging the Ministry of the Interior to take action. They declare that Germany is really aiming to enlist Poles in the German army. It is estimated that 1/200,000 Poles are fit. for military service.
