WOMEN URGED TO gMIeRArE
Assured Homes and Husbands in the
Colonies.

LONDON, March 20.-"More women
in our colonies!' has become the war
cry OF large number of persons Of
fetal and unofficial, throughout the
British empire. Mr.. Chamberlain
took up the slogan this afternoon,
when he addressed the United Brit
ish Women's Emigration society. He
said:
Here at home we have millions
more women than men. They can
not look forward to becoming wives
and mothers and heads of households.
They jostle one another in their strug-
gle for existence. Their wages often
fall below the level of making an hon
orable subsistence possible. We must
reduce this disproportion which |
have mentioned by sending suitable
women. suitably protected. to places
where the proportion is exactly in
the opposite direction. Our colonies
mold out the promise of millions of
happy homes for women now fighting
for q scanty living in the mother
country
Mr.. Chamberlain spoke especially
for South Africa, where he profe3sed
to expect an era of great prosperity
to dawn shortly.
