GERMAN WOMEN C0LoNIsTs.
Important and Impressive Work of
a Colonial Union.

Berlin Correspondence London Standard
German women are proud of their col
onies, and are determined to help forward
the work Of colonization with all the en-
ergy and thoroughness which are such
prominent features of the German char
acter. With this end in view a number of
women founded, in 1907, the German
Colonial WOmens Union" In 1908 this
union was affiliated with the German
Colonial Society, and since that time has
borne the name, "Women's Union of the
German Colonial Society,"" The aims and
interest all classes Of women in colonial
questions; (2) to help with advice German
women and girls who desire to settle in
the colonies and to promote women's emf
grafton to the colonies; CD to promote
education in the colonies, and a. to pre-
serve and strengthen the economical and
intellectual ties Of women in the colonies
with those at home.
The woman question In the colonies,
which originated from the lack Of German
women there, has a special Importance
with regard to those German colonies
toward which the emigrant directs his
steps, but it is particularly important fer
southwest Africa Means are provided
for establishing German families there,
where the influence of the German wom-
intermarriage of white men and native
women is checked, and the springing up
of mixed race, constituting a danger to
the colonies. is prevented. The women's
union has made great point of sending
out governesses for children. practical
helpers. and capable maid servants. They

Importance of promoting women's emf
grafton into the colonies, to bear the costs
of the passage.
The seat of the women's union Is in
Berlin. At present there are thirty-eisht
branches, with nearly 5000 members. The
work of the branches is not only the &C
QUESTION of new members and the stimu-
iation and awakening of colonial interest
in women's circles of all classes. but they
have also created their own spheres OF
work in the colonies. For instance, ono
branch proposes to found a kindergarten
in southwest Africa. another gives a pub
lie library, third supports a. mission sta
ton. and so on. The older Women's Red
Cross Union, which was founded ten
years ago, has undertaken to provide the
colonies with hospitals and nursing sis
ters. and has already proved a great
boon.

DURBIN CALLS ON PRESIDENT

Ex-Gov. Durbin is one of many leading
republicans of Indiana in Washington
recently who fear the outcome of the
November elections.
MIR. Durbin, who was at the White
House today, among others, has lad-
quainted tho President with the serious
ness of tt, outlook. But the executive
sees no wa, at this time to aid in bring
ing about Irmony without being accused
of interference, possibly muddling mat
tiers worse than at present.
Not only are republican congressional
candidates involved in the situation. but

Beveridge.
With the downfall of the republicans
in November 1908, republican destiny
practically passed into the hands of
Senator Beveridge The old republican
organiza ton, controlled for years by for
mer Vice President Fairbanks, ex-Sena-
tor Hemenway and eX-Representative
Jim Watson, with James +. Goodrich
as chairman of the state committee, felt
that It's time was DIP.
A democrats governor and eleven demo-
Gratis out Of thirteen legislators were
elected to the national House, Only two
congressional districts remained repub-
lican. The Smashup was widespread.
Senator Beveridge took charge of the
federal patronage. Old leaders dropped
out. State Chairman Goodrich resigned.
Wen just leave Beveridge to run the
whole thing" was what the old leaders
said to themselves.

Harmony Is Hoped For.

To eradicate the feeling against SEN
ator Beveridge, and. if possible, bring
about harmony, is the wish of many In
dianians. No one knows how this can
be done, though.
The republican state committee Of In
diana will meet at indianapolis Febru-
airy to reorganize and elect a state
chairman. The Beveridge men will con-
troll the committee all the way through,
and will elect Henry W. Bennett of In
dianapolis as chairman.
Bennett has for years been an ardent
follower of Senator Beveridge He was
once postmaster of indianapolis and is
now head of a life insurance company
He will run the campaign this year. un-
der the guidance of Senator Beveridge
February ) the Lincoln League of Re-
publicans will meet at Columbus, Ind
There Is hope that something looking
toward a harmony plan may come out.
Senator Beveridge is to speak at the
meeting. There is an idea that he may
sound the first note of cordially toward
his foes. thus opening the way for get
ting together.
The anti-Beveridge faction is not cry
ing for such happening. If the senator
should open the way they might be placed
where it would be necessary for them to
fall into line with some warmth.
The republican aspect is gloomy for
more reasons than that of factionalism.
1t is generally admitted that Gov Mar
state executive.
In many quarters he is looked to as the
democratic nominee for President two
years from now.
He is not identified with either of the
Indiana democratic factions and has held
aloof from their quarrelS.
In a way. in spite of these differences.
he has united the party.
He was appealed to recently to use his
influence to name an anti-Taggart demo-
crat as state chairman, but kept out of
the matter. Stokes Jackson, the demo-
crat who conducted the campaign two
years ago, was reelected state chair
man. Jackson Is a Taggart man. but is
said to be clean. capable and energetic.

Beveridge Makes Enemies.

Mr.. Beveridge began the work of run
ming it. All last summer he sat in his
private offices in Indianapolis and re-
ceived a multitude of candidates for post
masters and other places, deciding among
the thousands.
His recommendations have been honored
by the administration from highest to
lowest Office. He has not shown especial
preference for followers of the old or
ganization. with the result that there is
much unkindly feeling toward him, which
he and his friends are seeking to allay.
Recently ex-senator Hemenway and ex-
Representative Watson asked the Pres
ident to divide some of the federal pat
ronage with them, it is reported, claim
ing their friends were getting nothing.
If they did make such a request, it has
borne no fruit.
The President. while friendly to these
men, stands to his determination to give
republican senators the patronage in their
respective states. He has recently done
this in Missouri, in the face of a desire
on the part of one of his cabinet officers.
