Tnat was the year of the "Great Plaguo of London." and though every school boy in the land has read, or says ho has read "Rob inson Crusoe," and has forgotten who wrote it, he oes not know that it's author wrote more books than that celebrated adventure on a lorfbly is land, and that among his booksis "A - Journal of the Plaguo Year" which, while it lacks in romance tho figures of Robinson and his good man Friday, yet tells in reportorlal style the Inci dents of life in the midst of a great terror which is superlatively Interest ing. Looking through the Journal again, ono is tempted to repeat the old Latin tag which says "Damned bo all those who said what I wanted to say before me." Had' the members of the board of health of the city of Ogden turned to Defoe's great yarn, they would not have thought themsolvos original gen iuses at all because, once the old time phraseology is forgotten, the borsesehso shines through the quar antine ordersj and health restrictions like a candle in a naughty world, as follows: "Orders conceived and published by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London concerning the infec tion of the Plague 1665. "Whereas in the reign of our late snvprplpn K'Snc Tnmoo nf Vinnrw mam- . O-- O v.. "UJJJJJ "-" ory, an act was made for the chari table relief and ordering of persons i infected with tho plague whereby au thority was given to Justices of the peace, mayors, bailiffs, and other head officers to appoint within their several limits examiners, searchers, watchmen, keepers, and buriers for tho persons and places Infected, and to minister unto them the oaths for the perform ance of their offices. And the same statute did also authorize the giving of other directions, as unto them for the present necessity should seem good in their discretions. It is now, upon special consideration, thought very expedient for preventing and avoiding of infection of sickness (if it shall so please Almighty God), that these officers following be appointed, and these orders hereafter duly ob served." Then follows the word of command for "Examiners to be appointed in every parish," and these persons were tho apostolic predecessors of the Og den city school teachers, whose duty it was under oats to inquire from time to time and learn what houses in ev ery parish be visited, and what per sons bo sick, and of what diseases, as near as they can inform themselves, and upon doubt in that case, to com mend restraint of access until it ap pear what the disease shall prove."

E. Browning) that the house be shut up," and hero is whero tremor and fear comes down upon the chief of police," if the, constable shall be found remiss or negligent, to give present notice thereof to the aldermen of tho ward, or, in Ogden parlance to Commission er of Public Safety Miles L. Jones. . Lest you think the restriction was hard, the , next order deals with, J'Watchmen appointed for the pesti lence stricken and closed household, ono to act in tho day time and one at night, seeing that none move in or out of the infected place and bringing to tho house from outside such things as the needy folk within might require." Then orders for searchers that is for people to examine the bodies of tho dead and bo able to testify whether death was due to the plague or not land orders to the chirurgeons, which j is an old word and a better word than surgeon, becauso it is etymologically correct and signifies ono who does a deal of healing by means of his hand. ' And this latter order for chirurgeons stipulates that men like Dr. McGIUl cuddy shall b.c sent to the aid of stricken communities that the disease may be wiped out as quickly as pos sible. But better still, that these chi rurgeons bo employed only on this epi demic disease and that they give their whole time and talent to a speedy con quest of It. Sane orders for tho burying of the I dead and the caring for infected I clothes and garments and hangings of jail kinds and for the quarantining of those who live in infected places, fol low, and that every house shall be marked, not with a card, however leg ibly printed, but with a long, deep cross and that a' red cross, which was not only tho signification to all who passed by that pestilence had its way there, but that prayer should be of fered by all who saw the sign and that they might offer up a prayer, saying, "Lord have mercy upon us." There Is much more to a similar sane effect, but this article may well end here with a pious prayer for all Ogden's sick and suffering nnd be reaved, and for all who tend and care for them that the same Lord may have mercy and that today's rejoicing may be the beginning of a continued rejoic ing that the works of faithful men and women and the vigilant care of the en tire city under the good guidance and help of the God who always helps those who help themselves, have wrought together to deliver this city from a dread and painful pestilence. Tho men of seventeen century days were not so far behind the enlightened twentieth century as one sometimes thinks, 'Which is only another way of saying,, "All is not good that is new, nor is all senseless that is old."

' Bernsiorff Recommend ed Hearst Man as German Agent. TO INFLUENCE PRESS !i Hues Wanted to For-' ckseN.Y. and Wash- ington Papers. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6In recom-' mending W. Bayard Halo as a publici ty agent for Germany Bernstorff told the foreign office that Hale had Inter-. viewed tho former emperor in 1908, tnat ne nnu written a lire of President Wilson which was used in the 1916 campaign and that his wife was Ger man. The beginning of the German propa ganda, Bielaskl testified, was in 1914 when Dernberg and Albert formed an organization with offices at 1123 Broadway, New York. Albert and Dernberg brought from Germany ono hundred and fifty million dollars In German securities, BeilaskI said. Only $5,000,000 worth were sold, that amount being used in propaganda. In October, 1914, George Sylvester VIercck, editor of The Fatherland, wrote to Albert, suggesting that the publicity bureau should take steps ot acquire an American newspaper, pref erably .the New York Sun, or the Press Later on, Mr. Blelaski said, he would give the committee information about an attempt to purchase the Sun by Samuel Untermycr. VIereck suggest ed an arrangement with a New York paper which would form an alliance with a Gorman agency, similar to the New York Times' arrangement with tho London Times. A committee of the German propa ganda organization, of which Halo, VIereck, Edward A. Rumely and oth ers were members, met with Albort and Dernberg, frequently In New York, Bielaskl said. At one meeting, on No vember 5, 1914, Dernberg's notes show ed that it was the opinion of the com mittee that public opinion in favor of Germany was most important and that every courtesy should be shown Amer ican correspondents in Germany. At the same meeting, the Dernberg notes recorded that the Irish question would be an important one in the prop aganda and that James K. McGuire, former mayor of Syracuse, N. Y., had undertaken the organization of a so ciety that was to conduct propaganda in favor of Germany among the Irish. Associated with the Irish propagan da campaign was Dr. Fuohr, a former Gorman consul-general in the Orient. Mr. Bielaskl told tho commltteo that In October, 1914 Bernstorff wrote a letter addressed to Albert and Dern berg In Avhich he said the Washington Post was offered to him for ?2,000,000. This offer was made ho said, with tho understanding that the Post owners would buy tho paper back at the end of tho war for $1,500,000. oo KOLCHAK WILL FUWRUSSIA WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.
