THE SHORTEST SPEECH.
IL Was Delivered by Caesar and Con
sisted of a Single Word.


julius Caesar holds the record for
brevity of convincing speech.
The story is told that while Caesar
was in the midst of his struggle for
the mastery of the Roman empire the
soldiers of his favorite Tenth legion
mutinied. He appeared before Them
and, uttering the one word "Quirites.
paused.
That word means. of course, "citi-
zens." but to the veterans to whom II
was addressed it meant great deal
more. 1t was the special term used in
addressing Roman voters assembled in
a purely civic capacity, not as soldiers.
but as civilians.
TO the mutinous soldiers 1t meant
that the great commander, whom they
had followed for ten long years from
the Alps to the Thames and from the
Rhine to the Pyrenees and across the
Rubicon, disowned them as soldiers
and dismissed them from his victori-
Gus service.
Realizing its meaning, the story
goes, the mutmeers were appalled,

them and inflicted summary punish
