Berlin, Aug. 4.-Responsibility for the war in which Germany, Russia and France are now engaged is placed squarely upon the shoulders of Elm peror Nicholas in the White Book is- sued by the German government ,.nd given prominence in the press today. While negotiations looking to a peace full way out of the difficulties were pending, Russia, it is charged, invaded Germany and few hours later France opened hostilities.
 The German Emperor, it is set forth in response to the suggestion from London and the appeal of the Russian monarch, was using his influence at Vienna to satisfy Russia regarding but in that very hour Russia was l.1o- bilizing her army.
 After fruitless appeal to Emperor Nicholas to abandon his warlike prep aratons and so avert a peril to civili- zation, the German government on the afternoon of July 31 instructed it's am bassador at St. Petersburg to give notice that Germany would mobilize unless Russia suspended her military measures inside of twelve hours. At the same time France was given eight cen hours in which to declare whether she would remain neutral in a war between Russia and Germany. The White Book continues:
 ''The imperial ambassador in St. Petersburg made the communication entrusted to him to M. Sazonoff (the Russian minister of foreign affairs) at midnight on July 31. After the term set for Russia had expired without the receipt of an answer to our qu es- tion, His Majesty, the Emperor. at five D. m., on August 1 ordered tine mobilization of the whole German army and the Imperial navy.
 "The Imperial ambassador in St. Petersburg had meanwhile received commission to communicate to the Russian government declaration of war in the event that the Russian government should not give satis- factory answer within the period Gl- lotted it. But before a report of the execution of this commission had IT, rived, Russian troops crossed our frontier on afternoon of Aug. 1 and advanced on German territory From this time on Russia has furthered the war against us.
 ''In the meantime the Imperial am- bassador in Paris had placed the in- quiry with which he was commissioned before the French cabinet at D. m., on July 31. On August 1 at o'clock in the afternoon the French prime minister communicated an ambiguous and unsatisfactory answer which gave no clear idea regarding the attitude of France as the author confined him. self to declaring that France would do what her interests bade her to do.
 "A few hours later, at D. m., the mobilization of the entire French army and navy was ordered. On the morning of the next day France opened hostilities.''

TOOK SPEECH IN THE DARK
Stenographer Says 1t Was Not Diff

of "UncIe joe"

Sometimes man gets a reputation
that is undeserved," said Sam Gray, a
member of the stenographic corps of
the house of representatives, at the
Willard. according to the Washington
Post. 1T happened to me few years
ago when was travelling with former
Speaker Cannon in a political cam
paign. Uncle Joe made a lot of
speeches in that particular campaign,
and | was there to make stenographic
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 re-
port of his speech land did. Naturally,
l had to feel my way. and l made my
notes unusually large, 80 I would have
no trouble in reading them. When the
lights were restored was right there
with the speaker, and made an ac-
curate transcript of his speech. Some
of the newspaper boys heard of the
story and published it as a marvellous
feat.
THE fact is, 1t was not at all diff
cult to follow the former speaker. He
is not a rapid talker, and l had no
trouble in taking his remarks"
