For this reason the people will

WOMEN CLERKS IN GERMANY
In Spite of Conservatism There Has
Been Steady Progress Made
by the Sex.

Women have become an In
dispensable factor in the German
postal telegraph and telephone
service, it seems, in spite of the
conservatism which prevented the
utilization of feminine activities in
public work in Germany until
nearly half a century later than in
France and England. United
States Consul Monaghan, of Chem
nitz, in a recent communication to
the United States department of
commerce and labor, reviews
briefly the conditions and require
ments which are Of interest as
showing the progress of women in
the fatherland.
1t is not every woman who can
obtain a position in the German
postal service, so strict are the
government regulations respect
ing age, character, education and
health. SSooT-ass -ailieiit nctiicaiex-
aminer pronounces upon the
health, which must be perfect; the
age must not exceed 80 or be un.
der Is, and a good common school
education is a primary requisite.
Possessing all these Qualifica-
tions, the woman candidate is eli
gible only to position as assist
ant in the post Office, and the
highest salary she can hope for is
S119 a year, In the telegraph and
telephone service, however, ali
grades of positions are open to
women, though the rules of adj
mission are equally strict, and no
women with children are EN-
ployed. Four thousand women are
now engaged in the telephone
service of the German empire, it
is stated, 1000 of them being in
Berlin. The hours are light, rang
ing from six to eight hours a day,
.sThe highest pay which a Won
an can draw in German telephone
offices is 1857, which is said to af-
ford comfortable living in Ger
many, but it is low wage com
pared to that to be obtained in
England, where experienced tele-
phone clerks get 5000 and chief SUI
pervisors are paid as high as 81
$50. In Germany, however, it must
be noted that women on their
withdrawal from active labor
after the prescribed number of
years of faithful work are award
ed a government pension on the
same plane with the men.

mense sums which the French people
have advanced to their ally, but in the
past few days French investors have
become seriously alarmed and they
are putting the strongest pressure on
their own government to protect their

now being made at st. PETERSBURG by
France, Great Britain and the United

The officers of the British home
squadron think they may at any time
be ordered to replace the channel
squadron, which would be sent to the
Mediterranean to strengthen the
naval force in the far east.
In the home squadron all leaves of
absence have been stopped. Extra
supplies of ammunition have been
taken on board and men and ships
are kept in a state of alertness such
as has not existed for years.
I Within a few days the cruisers Ka-
saga and Niasin, formerly the Morono
and Rivadavia, which were bought by
the Japanese government from Ar
gentina and which were built at
Genoa, will be formally delivered to
Japan. Immediately on their deliv-

WILL KEEP OUT OF IT
MEMBERS OF MINNESOTA'S
CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION
WILL NOT NEEDLE IN THE
GUBERNATORIAL FIGHT.


From the Journal Bureau, Colorado Building.
Washington.
Washington, Jan. 4.-Up to a late
hour to-day William Henry Eustis
had not put in an appearance at the
capitol, but it is supposed that he
reached Washington yesterday. If
Mr.. Eustis has come to Washington
to get light on his proposed can
didacy for governor he will be dis
appointed, the delegation will take no
hand in the fight, Notwithstanding
statements in the state press from
time to time that this or that member
or senator was favorable or opposed
to this or that candidate.
These statements only. serve to en-
barrass the. delegation. Both sena-
tors sustain pleasant personal and
political relations with each Of the
four republicans most prominently
named for. governor and could not
well select one and oppose the other
three. The same thing is true in a
the candidate living in a particular
district will probably have the sup
port Of the member from that dis
trict, but this will be a peronsal and
not a delegation affair.
If the delegation were to take a
hand it would make lot Of unnec-
essary trouble for itself. The party
leaders at home always have resented
such interference.
For these reasons Mr.. Eustis con-
situations with the delegation will not
be productive of marked results. He
will be told what is outlined in this
dispatch, just as the same thing has
already been told emissaries Of Dunr
and Collins. Former Representative
Eddy knows the Washington sit.
uation too well to try to draw out the
delegation concerning his candidacy

RUSSIANS ARE POOR
Siberian Railroad Inadequate for
Rapid Movement of lTr00nS

Rapid Movement of Troops.
Indianapolis, Jan. 4.-Colonel w. H.
Holloway, who for more than six
years was consul general for the
United States at ST. Petersburg, Rus
STA, in the course of an address before
the Marion County Agricultural and
Horticultural society, said:
The Siberian railroad is poor affair.
1t is built with light rails, has poor equip
ment, and, tho it has cost an immense
amount Of money, Russia finds it difficult
to raise money to improve it. Now this
is the road that Russia is depending on
to transport men and munitions of wal
to meet Japan. The road cannot in or
binary times carry the business that is
offered.
The trans Siberian road, which begins
at Moscow and goes by way of Lake Bal
1al to Vladivostock and Dalny, used to
require eighteen to twenty days to make
the trip. 1t is now claimed the trip can
be made in fourteen days.. You may I'M
derstand that no soldiers will be trans
ported in passenger coaches and you may
imagine their suffering if sent, as they
must be, in open cars In winter. -
Russia has been getting poorer anG
poorer year after year, and has borrowed
money up to her limit. The same Is true
of Japan. 1 think it would be difficult
for either to negotiate war loan. NJ
Russian was ever known to be in a hurry
and no Russian can understand why any
one else should be. For this reason there
is not likely to be any sudden movement
against Japan.

Chorus Girls Leave for East.
Chicago, Jan. ALL the members
Of the ''Mr. Bluebeard" company ex-
cept the double octet and others under
arrest or surveillance, left Chicago
yesterday at o'clock by special train
for New York over the Pennsylvania
railroad. The train was supplied by
Klaw & Erlanger, owners Of the
Blue Beard production.
Much Of the happiness shown by
the chorus girls at the station, while
awaiting departure Of the special, was
due to Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, who
enabled many Of them to travel with
their baggage, instead of having tc
leave these belongings at the Cont
mental hotel. Klaw & Erlanger seemed
to consider they had done enough
when they paid the chorus the hall
weeks salary due them. Hotel bills
they ignored. but Mrs. Armour came
to the rescue.
