The correspon dent of the Times at the headqu: ters of the Russian army talked with General Korniloff on the eve of his departue take over the supreme command. General Korniloff said: "The first stage of the war is over. The second phase begins today." The correspondent says the Kus- sian commander repudiates the possi bility of the Russians surrendering. He holds that if Russia concludes a separate peace with Germany Rus sia would sink to a vassal state. The new government must realize the necessity of inviting the allies to reorganize the railway service for warfare. If Germany decided, as nil sie-ns indicate, to transfer the main pressure to the western front, the Russians will have no difficulty with the inferior Austrian troops. 'Russia is full of splendid fighting men. Ten million men have already been enrolled, but they are badly trained. There are too many at tending meetings instead of drills.
