Leon OeVlllcl (former partner of the Kairo-Haus). THE WORKING WOMAN. If the extremely sensational methods adopted by the English champions of woman suffrage have failed to materially further their cause, they have at least drawn the attention of the world to a great movement which is visible among women of all nations. For many centuries man was, or con sidered himself to be, supreme in the realm of work, as the term is generally understood; but each year that passes makes it plainer that even in those labour pursuits formerly thought to demand essentially masculine abilities man is being very closely pressed by what has been facetiously termed the weaker sex. Feminine logic has been seriously questioned ever since our first parents sat together in the green shades of Eden. It is asserted by some men who claim to view the matter with im partiality that woman is absolutely incapable of arriving at a conclusion by the simple process of applying logic to a problem; that woman is governed by her instinct, and is therefore incom petent to take a hand in the legislative business of a State, since legislation is first and last a matter of calmly weighing pros and cons. We have never had the audacity to announce ourselves as strongly favouring the granting of the vote to wo men, but must nevertheless confess that the argu ments put forward by those uncompromisingly op posed to female suffrage are not strikingly charac terised by logic. If a woman proves her ability to manipulate business operations calling for an abund ance of braininess and perspicuity, why should she not also be capable of handling hardly more com plicated State affairs? We rather fancy that the question has not yet assumed formidable propor tions, simply because the most potential feminine forces have so far refrained from participating in the fray. As the working man is gradually be coming the chief factor in the politics of all countries, so will the working woman steadily win precedence over her less energetic sisters, who indolently dis claim all desire to become enfranchised. When the working woman finds that her interests are suffer ing through non-representation she will be com pelled in self-defence to take up arms against the male oppressor, and then, to put it flippantly, the fun will really commence. Up to now the contests have been mere skirmishes, with which the main body has had no or very little connection. Whether the feminine armies advancing to the fray when that great social Armageddon is fought will be led by a Mrs. Pankhurst clothed in shining armour, re mains to be seen, though it is probable that stra tegists of greater subtlety will be entrusted with the command. One of the more prominent French magazines has an interesting article on female labour in the United States, from which we learn that out of five million women who work, two million are Ameri cans, one million are the daughters of emigrants, and otfe million are women who have recently ar rived in America. All the agricultural women la bourers and the majority of laundresses are negroes. We can well understand the seriousness of the servant problem in America upon being informed that the number of women in domestic service scarcely reaches six per cent. German women have the first place in offices, and French women take the lead in “modes/’ especially in hats. The steno graphers are said to be about 100,000 in number— we believe the number to be much larger in reality— and the “modistes” about 80,000. Altogether eleven per cent, of the women in America earn their own living. In France, according to the census of 1901, the proportions of women compared with men en gaged in various branches of labour are: 28 per cent, in agriculture, 35 per cent, in commerce, 77 per cent, in domestic service, and 33 per cent, in the liberal professions. In the factories and workshops there are employed 927,705 women against 2,350,819 men; but in the home industries working women “PELZ-MODE-WAREN” STORE. Dresden, Prager Strasse 52. Ladies intending to purchase Furs should not omit to see what can be obtained at 52, Prager Str., opp. Cook’s Tourist Office. Among the great variety of what are termed “Fine Furs,” of guaranteed quality and at reasonable prices, are: Persian Lamb, Broadtail, Sable, Marten, Mink, Ermine, Chinchilla, Sealskin, Squirrel, Black Lynx, Pony, Fox, &c., made into Jackets, Coats, Neckpieces, Collarettes, Muffs, &c., in the latest styles. The proprietors, H. G. B. Peters, your countrymen, are furriers of many years’ experience, and in every case ready to conscientiously advise in any matter pertaining to Furs. An agreeable feature of this Store is that visitors feel per fectly at home within its precincts, and shopping is there fore rendered pleasant and easy. A visit to this establishment cannot fail to prove bene ficial. “Peters Furs” are world-renowned. Otto Mayer, PHOTOGRAPHER 38 Prager Strasse 38 Tel. 446. By appointment to T.

It is also instructive to note that in the Empire of Japan three-fifths of the factory workers are women, and it may be said that all the manual labour in Japanese textile in dustries is done by women. A masculine writer in the Albany Revieio chivalrously comments upon the revolt of woman, and adds some interesting facts. How many men, he says, who talk lightly of women’s dependence know that there are now 5.500.000 women workers in England, an army larger than the army of Xerxes or the population of the County of London? That there are, besides the 2,000,000 domestic servants, 867,000 women employed in textile industries or in cotton factories, 903.000 in dressmaking, 80,500 in commerce, and nearly 100,000 in farming. That there are 55,784 women clerks, 200,000 woman teachers, 44,000 mu sicians and actresses, 79,000 nurses, and 292 women doctors? Here in these figures we have a measure of the real army of revolt. The census of 1901 revealed in England and Wales nearly 3,000,000 un married women over the age of twenty, and nearly 1,000,000 over the age of thirty-five. If only a fraction of these women threw themselves enthusiasti cally into the suffrage campaign, things would be gin to move with a vengeance. GENERAL NEWS. PlUMi; Iii'LOW ON GERMAN POLICY. (From our London correspondent.) London, September 14. Today’s issue of the Standard contains an inter esting article by Mr. Sidney Whitman, giving the account of an interview with which he was favoured at Norderney by Prince Billow, the Imperial Chan cellor. The Prince’s remarks, as transcribed by Mr. Whitman, are certain to meet with careful attention here in England, although of course it is known that the journalist and the Chancellor are old friends, and therefore Mr. Whitman may be pardoned if he has approached the subject with a decided predisposition towards Germany. It is gratifying to learn that he had rarely seen Prince Biilow looking better and in higher spirits than at present. The conversation naturally turned upon Anglo-German relations, in reference to which the following statement by Mr. Whitman is particularly worthy of note: “There is nothing new when I say that Prince Billow looks upon the animosity between England and Germany as little short of a species of popular madness in whomsoever it be indulged, which, if persisted in, can only lead to endless mis chief to both countries for the sole benefit of the tertii gaudentes. He is most anxious to do all in his power to put an end to it, but his power is necessarily limited. With regard to English ap prehension of German naval aggression, the Chancel lor thinks that it would be much more natural, and therefore more excusable, if the Germans were to fear being attacked. ‘I can assure you (said the Prince), not for the first time, and not as German Chancellor, but as one gentleman to another, that nobody of any sense or influence in Germany dreams of picking a quarrel with England, much less of such an insane idea as invading England. Hitherto we have associated such phenomena of excitability as that embodied in the article entitled The German Peril in the July number of the Quarterly Review, with the French character, though the French have become much more sensible and less subject to such outbursts since ’70. A rabid spirit of suspicion and hate is revealed here, scarcely less intense in its fierce animosity towards Germany than sundry diatribes of Emile de Girardin and Edmond About immediately prior to the out break of the war of 1870. It is quite a revelation to me to see a steady and sterling people like the English give way to such sentiments as are evident here, and we can only hope and trust to the political genius, the common sense, of the English people to rectify this morbid feeling of their own in dependent volition.’ ” Commenting on the article in question, the Prince said: “When we read such stuff, we can only conclude that the people who write it are not quite sane.” With regard to the assertion that the German navy is rapidly overtaking that of England, the Chancellor produced figures according to which Germany is only the fourth great naval Power in order of strength. “The statement that Germany regards the strength of England and the existence of her maritime supremacy as the chief obstacle to the realisation of her ambitions by land and sea, the' Chancellor characterised as sheer nonsense,” says Mr. Sidney Whitman. “For instance, it would be difficult to find a man in Germany today who could be said to hate France, and this notwith standing past history, and he (Prince Biilow) main tained that no such feeling existed in Germany to wards England either among sensible people; but, he added, he would not be prepared to deny that in the very unlikely case of England making an unprovoked attack on the German fleet, a feeling of vindictive resentment might arise, which in its intensity and its duration would rival that inspired by the invasions of Napoleon I. Otherwise, he re peatedly assured me, nobody in Germany dreams of wishing to pick a quarrel with England, which, according to all imaginable contingencies, could only do injury to both countries and benefit, as before said, the tertii gaudentes.” Many other questions of importance were dis cussed in the course of this interview, which oc cupies six whole columns in today’s Standard. The paper also contains an editorial commenting very adversely on the interview it publishes and accusing Prince Biilow of attempting to deliberately mislead British public opinion. Especially is his comparison of the strength of the great navies condemned as intentionally deceptive. This com parison is based upon tonnage, but it is pointed out that the merest naval tyro would not be de ceived by the tabulated list of warships. The leading article is in such striking contrast to the published interview in the same issue that this fact is arousing widespread comment. (Continued on page 2.)
