TOOK SPEECH IN THE DARK
stenographer Says 1t Was Not Diff
ficuIt to Follow Remarks
of "Uncle joe"

Sometimes man gets a reputation
that is undeserved," said Sam Gray, q
member of the stencgraphic corps OF
the house Of representatives, at the
Willard, according to the Washington
Post. 1T happened to me few years
ego when 7 was travelling with former
Speaker Cannon in political cam
paign. Uncle Joe made a lot OF
speeches in that particular campaign,
and was there to make a stenograph1c
report and transcript Of them. In
one western city the speaker was talk
ing to tremendous crowd Of people,
when suddenly, without warning, the
electric lights went out, leaving the
house in total darkness.
For fifteen minutes, perhaps, the
speaker talked on in the darkness. 1t
was up to me, of course, to make a
report of his speech, and did. Nat
urally, I had to feel my way, and
mad2 my notes unusually large, SO
| would have no trouble In reading
them. When the lights were restored
I was right there with the speaker,
and made an accurate transcript of
his speech. Some of the newspaper
boys heard of the story and published
it as a marvellous feat.
"The fact is, it was not at all diff
cult to follow the former speaker. He
is not rapid talker, and I had no
trouble in taking his remarks"

The Expected Junction.

This force, under General Won Bese.
Ter, it is expected will shortly swing in
a southwesterly direction, seeking a
junction with the army under General
Won Boehm, who is supporting Won
Kluck just over the border in north
eastern France.
The attempt of this Antwerp attack
ing army to effect this junction in it's
westward movement toward the coast
will be the signal, military experts
believe, for general attack along the
whole German battle front. The con-
certed attacks at other points of the
line are designed to keep the allies so
busy locally that they will be unable
to hurl to the northward sufficient re-
Inducements to relieve the threatened
left wing of the allies, against which
the Germans even now are directing a
turning movement in the region of
Lille.

Allies Ready at Ostend.

The French general staff has antici.

past week is reported to have concen-

Guiding the newly arrived British
forces, the Canadian regiments who
are reported to have arrived there,
and the Belgians who have come from
Antwerp, to be ready to meet the new
German front.
In the meantime, there are indica-

Mons as his base, is swinging his
forces like great army, forward in

Evidently the cavalry activity re-

see, Estaires and Hazebrouck, is a
part of the German plan to occupy a
line stretching to the sea between Os-
tend and Dunkirk and connecting with
the main German line, which would
prove an effective barrier in cutting
off such a retreat from Ostend.
