New York, March IA Berlin cable
to morning paper says the Kaiser had a
narrow escape yesterday afternoon dur

facts. While asking the Central office to
call up Caprivi the wire suddenly ceased
to work. The Kaiser Immediately
ordered Moltke to drive to the Central

Moltke arrived at the Central Office he
learned that two women, the operator
and stenographer, who usually receive

mands, were knocked senseless
on the floor by shock over
the wires. The chief operator still held
the instrument to her ear, while the ston-
ographer clutched a pencil in her hand.

girls explained that in the midst of the
Emperor's message a brilliant light
flashed into the room, and the switch
board emitted sparks, and the next mo-
ment they fell to the floor. \ lightning
flash had fallen on one of the wires, and
been conducted into the room where the
two girls were operating. 1t was mirac-
ulous that the bolt did not strike on the
wire the Emperor held to his ear. Both
girls are confined to their beds suffering
from spinal shock and extreme nervous
