Although it is not generally known,
the British “Order In Council” which
lias given rise to so much discussion
since It was declared effective by the
present government of Great Britain
some months ago, is a comparatively
ancient Institution; ns a brief persual
of the leading events of the Napoleonic
wars will disclose. The first British
order in Council, with some modifica
tions in the method of application, is
essentially the same as the first Rng
llsh pronouncement so entitled, issued
by thnt government in the year 1793
and with the same Intent and purpose
for which it is now being employed
against the Germans, namely to starve
the enemies of Britain into subjection,
in that instance the Order in Council
was directed against the French and
wns a piece of governmental enact
ment destined to have an effect f;ir
beyond that anticipated by its pro
mulgators although Its employment at
that time was scarcely as effective as
at a inter period when it was em
ployed by the British to counter the
Napoleonic "Continental System"
which had declared the British isles to
be in a state of blockade and which,
by the way, finds a singular parallel
in the German order, of the present
day, declaring the war zone around
the British shores. Britain’s method
of retaliation at that time was essen
tially the same as employed at present.
All ships of neutral nations destined
for French ports, or ports held by the
enemy, were compelled by the enact
ment to touch at British ports where
they were taxed an Import or export
customs duty averaging about twenty
five per cent of the value of the cargo
and all ships falling to recognize the
order were declared to he lawful prizes
of war. The enactment at that time
resulted in paralyzing at one stroke
the commerce of Rurope and produced
conditions of the most severe nature, i
As in the present instance the order I
led to trouble with the United States
because of the refusul of this nation c
to recognize the right of the British to c
compel other nations to follow her de- f
mands and also make them the instru- h
meats of her desire to starve an enemy, a
It is stated by the majority of htator
ms that the Order in Council of that
ierlod was the real beginning of th*
rouble leading to the war of 1S12-15
it that time England contended thai
ill food stuffs were contraband, ant
eserved to herself the right to seiz*
ill cargoes. The United States pro
ested In vehement fashion and tlu
British order was modified to the de
free that if Itrltain so desired th<
^argo could be purchased and the ves
►el released after being granted a du<
allowance for freight. The conditions
ittending the order are being practi
cally duplicated at present and tht
contentions of President Wilson are ii
general principles exactly similar ti
those of Thomas Jefferson, at that time
Secretary of State, and who stated ii
terms almost identical with those o
President Wilson that "She may, in
deed, feel the desire of starving fti
enemy nation, but she has no right t<
do so at our loss nor of making us th
instruments of it." As in the presen
case the United States also refused t
recognize that food stuffs could justl
be declared contraband.
One of the most monumental task
attending the conduct of the presen
war is that one to which hut llttl
thought is devoted by the average per
son. namely, the feeding of the grea
armies There are doubtless few wli
stop for a moment to think what i
means to furnish the food for the mil
lions of men now In the field in Europ
tand also what it means to deliver th
food to them when it is ready for con
sumption. In fact the word "million
puzzles the average person more tha
It informs him. For Instance, the tots
population of Alaska multiplied b
about fifteen will approximate a mil
lion men and yet this is only about on
tenth part of the total number engage
in the great struggle—for there ar
assuredly not less than ten millioi
men in the field at the present time
and they are due to get three meals i
day, save under the most restrictiv
conditions. That is to say, that if th
population of all of the New Englani
states, with the state of Texas throwi
in for good measure, were all males am
they all had to he fed. if possible, time
times a day. that would about moasun
up with the task of providing for thi
men now under arms in Europe.
It's good to have some fell disease
the rheumatism in your knees or boil
upon your neck; it's good to suffe
now and then, from spavin, bunion
boil or wen, and be a total wreck: fo
when you have your health once mor*
you’re twice as happy as before th
punk disease came; you arc in shop
to realize the luck you're in, whei
anguish dies, and you’ve a palnlcs
frame. The delegate who’s never il
who never needs the druggist’s pill, o
hears the doctor's ring, can’t realiz
how he is blest: in perfect health h
finds no zest it’s such a onmmni
thing. Then rheumatism hits his hone
and miles away you hear his groans
as he anoints his legs, and rends hi
garb, and tears his hair, and bite
large pieces from his chair, and for tin
sawbones begs. Then he begins to un
derstand that health's a blessing grea
and grand that every man shouli
prize; "If I get well Instead of worst
and all my agonies disperse, I will re
form," he cries. “I will not howl unlesi
I'm hurt, I will not rail and rend m
shirt, or of afflictions bawl: for if s
man is feeling well, he has no right ti
raise a yell, whatever woes befall.”—

The Supervisors of Shasta county
have employed a trained nurse and
have instructed her to stay at the Me
Knight home until the mother “no

the mother that the county will see

can buy for her."
i On the following day Senator Scott

lution in the Senate at Sacramento
' asking for an appropriation of $5,000
for Mrs. McKnight. The resolution,
p which pays her a tribute, will be en

’ ALBERT OF BELGIUM.
e 1 have been trying to think of a lig
i* ure in the pages of history like unto
- Albert of 1'elgiuni. The world lias seen
" many kings driven from their thrones
1 and country by their own people. The
1 world has seen many kings deposed
< und driven into exile or carried into
- slavery or prison, but what king is
i* there who lias been driven from his
i kingdom liy a foreign foe and who, on
3 foreign soil, continued to fight at the
i head of his army which he managed
to save? I expect there has been such
i n one, hut just now I do not remember
■ him. This much is certain, that there
■ is none more pathetic and posterity
I will agree that there has been none
i more high-souled or more heroic. And
I some day he will come hack. It may
tie six months or it may be siv years,

‘ come back king in his own fair king
