"NOW OR NEVER."

COMMAND OF THE KAISER. WILHELM SAYS RUSSIAN ARMY MUST BE DESTROYED. London, September 24. "Kaiser Wilhelm is constantly rushing along the fighting line day and night," writes Grcgori Petroff in the Russkoye Slovo, quoted by the Petrograd correspondent of the Central News. "Everywhere he is attending meetings of generals. Night alarms are made for his advantage and night reviews of troops are held.

"Wilhelm does really see everything in the army. He has issued an order to the effect that nothing must be disturbed on the scene of a big battle until he lias arrived, the field of dead, the lines of trenches, the damage to fortresses, all must remain as it was at the end of the fight until the Kaiser himself appears. He travels very swiftly. For example, at Novo Georgievsk he arrived six hours after the capture of the fortress by the Germans. " 'The first stages have been worked for and many heroic deeds have bCen accomplished here recently,' li said, 'but the last act remains unfulfilled, and if you will not do this all your former efforts and sufferings will be brought to naught. Destroy the Russian army now or the attempt after will be impossible.' '■'
