London. November 12. - 9British Wireless Service. )-Prominence- is giy- en by the British newspapers to some of the utterances made by former En- peror William while the war was in progress Tn the year 1914 he said Before the leaves fall from the trees we shall be back again in the dear fatherland. Exterminate first the treacherous English and walk over General French's contemptible littls army. The war-like spirit still lives in the German people-that powerful spirit which attacks the enemy wher- ever it finds him, regardless of the cost.
 You. my troops, are my guarantee that I can dictate peace to my enemies. Up and at the foes! Gods goodness will guide the German people through battle to victory-to-the goal appoint ed for the German people by Provi- Isience. I have drawn the sword. which without victory and without honor can not sheathe again We stand with our hearts toward God-to the dust witL all the enemies of Germany. Amen"
 Tn the year 1915 the German ruler
 said:
 Our brave soldiers have shown themselves to be invincible in battle against nearly the whole world. T;ae war drama now is coming to it's close'' To the King of the Senussi he said: "Our common enemies whom Allah will annihilate to the last man, shait fly before thee. So be it.' Regarding the United States the Enl- peror declared:
 America had better look ouAmafter
 the war I shall stand no nonsense from the Americans. My destructive sword has crushed the Russians In a short while I will announce new vic tories. The war drama now is coming to it's close. In just cause I am | ready to force myself to be cruel" In 1916 the Emperor said The world was prepared for any thing but victory of the German
