There were many who would have

seemed to me that the German am
bassador had actually known nothing
of the kidnapping until told by con
federates among King Edwards suite,
and that, learning his country was
suspected, he had shrewdly refused to
deny his share In the conspiracy,
thereby actually gaining his object In
po%stponing the declaration Of war.

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."

That word means, of course, ''citi-
zens." but TO the veterans to whom it
was addressed it meant a 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 it 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.

good. For at least ten years l was
afflicted with kidney trouble that re-

suffered terribly from pains in my
back and frequently became dizzy.
The action of my kidneys was ir-
regular and caused me great an
