King and Dillon were rounded - up ¢atly Saturday morning as the result ot the work, of Chief Graham and Constable Barrett. King was found in 2 box ear. He had taken offi his niilitary overcoat and was evidently (ndeavering to Leat his way to To- ronto., & When King appeared before the ma- gistrate he pleaded guilty to the charge, and asked tat the judge he lenient with hin, stating that he knew the clothes' Dillon had were stolen, Mr. Asquith Agreed. The lord chancellor has been de- rided by his enemies and traducers in the press as having *' a German mind," It was possibly thanks to bis knowledge of Germany and the German character that, when . the war begun he realized, possibly there quickly than any other man in Eng- land, how thoroughly Germany must have prepared for if and how vast and complicated was the task before the allies. Mr. Asquith was at the beginning of last- August discharg- ing the duties of war minister as the #equél to the Curragh incident. With the tremendous extra pressure en tailed by the preparations for the great struggle, the prime minister called upon Lord Haldane to assist him at the war office. "That was on Sunday, August 2nd. The follow- ing day Lord Haldane arrived at the war office in obedience to his super- lor's call; but took immediate: oeens- ion to direct the prime minister's at- v tention to the fact that neither one and that, he asked him" to retum civilian nor even twe could be pro-, them, bit he sould not copsent to perly qualified to do the work a on ate hgnd, but that a soldier andsgreat Mag a8 organizer was required "Neither you ner I, nor both of ns," said Lord Haldane to Mr. As quith in effect, or probably in differ efit language, "can fill the bill. Kit chener is the man wanted' Mr. Asquith agreed with his col- league's suggestion. There was just one difficulty in the way. Lord Kit- chener, as the British agent in Egypt was in the employ of the foreign office, and this latter department fully realized the value of having him at the head of affairs in the Khediviate where trouble even then was foreseen, However, it was rea lized thal the need of his services was greater even at home than in| Cairo and the foreign office gave! way.
