GAR ARRESTED FOR SAFETY
Resentment Against His Being at Lib

TSeiHSh NO SS''S 0h Liz
erty Might Have Lead to Attack.
Petrograd, (via London) The ar
rest of the former Gar and Czarina
was called forth by strong pressure
of public opinion. After signing the
decree of abdication in Pskoff, Nichol-
as II. returned to headquarters, as
he said, to say farewell to the army.
Wild rumors spread that he had gone
to Livadia, and on all sides the ques-
ton was asked, "Why Is he allowed
to travel about Russia at will?" n
was feared he might use the oppor-
tunity to attempt to recover the
crown. In view of this popular excite
ment it became evident that steps
must be taken to secure the safety
of the ex-Emperor and his family on
one hand and on the other hand to
prevent monarchist agitation
The War Office is now rapidly draft
ing a scheme for establishing il the
army a freer system of discipline
more closely approaching the French
system, and the publication of these
new regulations should neutralize the
influence of extremist agitators.

WAS BEYOND THE ADVOCATE
Counsel Could Think of No Possible

1t was one of those tense moments

fate seemed to depend on the next an

expectant hush on all present, when
suddenly the opposing counsel butted
in with noisy objection based on
some obscure point of law, says Lon
don Tit-Bits.
For ten minutes or more the prS-
oner was forgotten, while judge and
counsel we've involved in tangle of
legal phrases and precedents. Although
the controversy was absolutely upin-
telligible to the crowd present, it was
clear enough to the dullest intelligence
that counsel was more than holding
his own in the argument. This was
also painfully apparent to the judge
himself, who, in desperate effort to
recover his official dignity, snapped
out:
"What does counsel suppose l am
on the bench for?"

or opening through which the wearer
peers at the pictures, while most of the

in trying the patients vision with spec

enter your system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdo-
men, gall-stones, gravel, difficulty when
