are very sweeping in character. Doub--

An Excess of Women.

One Of the phenomena developed by the
recent census in Germany Is the increase
in the number of women. The excess of
women in Germany is now greater than it
is in France, and ii is attributed to nat
ural causes well as to emigration. The
number of boy babies born annually is
less by several hundred thousand than
the number of girl babies, and the num-
Der of young men emigrating TO the
United States. to South America and to
other parts of the world is very large
While the number Of young women emf
grating is comparatively small. During
the year 1910 there We're 11,3SO emierants
from Germany to the united States. of
whom 62 per cent We're men. The reasons
behind this emigration are reluctance to
spend three years in the army and the
desire to seek their fortunes in a new
country. The emigration to the German
colonies is also composed largely of young
men.
This phenomenon is receiving much at
tention from politicians and political
economists. and it is considered dis
cOlraSng symptom for German prosper
ity. At the same time. il is opening, by
compulsion, new spheres of usefulness for
women, and requires their participation
in ali sorts of occupations and profess
sions.
The same phenomenon is noticed in
France. BY the last census. taken in
1906, there We're G412l1 more women than
men, while the census of 1886 showed
only an excess of 10000 The sane rea-
sons are assigned.

Economy in the System.

The advantage of this system, as ex-
planned by the inventor, is economy. 1t
is not necessary to lay a track, for the
cars will run on any city pavement or
country highway. wherever wires can be
erected, but this can be said OF any mo-
tor bus or other automobile, which does
not even require the overhead wires
1t is contended. however, that much
higher power can be obtained from
wire than can be generated in a storage
battery, and, therefore, heavier load
can be hauled. Another advantage
claimed is that the vehicle may be made
much lighter than the ordinary motor
car. 1t is also asserted that the higher
power obtained over the wires will en-
able the trackless trolley to climb hills
with a heavy load where II motor car
would be useless Another advantage is
that the power can be obtained wher-
ever ordinary trolley cars are running
or where electricity is generated. 1t is
only necessary to put up the wires and
make the connection.
While the trackless trolley system is.
no doubt. an advance over the ordi-
nary trolley, it is difficult to decide
whether the advantages over the or1i-
nary motor vehicle are so great as to
warrant its popular use on country
roads.
Bremen is the oldest seaport In Ger
many, and while we do not know when
the city was founded. the written rec

of the people. The commercial records
begin in the tenth century, when certain
privileges were granted to the merchants

There are two tlacklesS trolley street
railways in Bremen run by a system m
vented by a local engineer named hoeh-
Ter who was born in that city and IS
thirty years old. The patent Is owned
by a stock company composed of local
capitalists. One line runs from a CEN
trail point in the residence portion or the
city yhrough one of the principal resi-
dence streets into the suburbs. The 9TH
er runs from the terminus of the Bremen
municipal government line al the Suhurn
of Arsden over the highway three miles
to Arsdendamm, another suburb. Both
connect with the regular trolley lines and
receive their power from the central sta-
ton, and both were established by the
municipality as an experiment Inc
cars are about the size OF an ordinary
automobile omnibus, seating eight per-
sons on ach of the longitudinal seats, or
sixteen altogether. But they are much
lighter in weight, there is no rafting
of machinery, no odor from gasoline, ana
they run as smoothly as electric street
cars The ordinary speed is twelve miles
an hour, but with more powerful ma
chinery the speed could be increased.
There are two overhead wires form

Jealous of German Supremacy.


The Danish kings were opposed to Ger
man interests, and the Danish merchants
were jealous of the supremacy of the
Germans in the Baltic, hence King Eric
Menfed, in 1900 tried to destroy the Han
seattle League. For a time its business
was demoralized and almost broken up.
but after his death the representatives of
the Hansa organized a fleet, captured
Copenhagen, obtained possession of all
the fortresses along the Danish coast,
collected an indemnity of two-thirds of all
the Danish revenues for period Of fiji
teen years and exacted a. stipulation that
no king should ascend the throne of Den
mark without the consent of the leagalc
and the confirmation of their privileges
This arrangement lasted for more than
hundred years.
From this time on the league went
eeplS into politics and was therefore
compelled to maintain armies as we'll as
fleets. The decline of it's power and pros
Jerity began In the latter part of the SIX
.eenth century: first, because of the dis
appearance of the herring. one of the
chief sources of its wealth. along the
Baltic coast: second, because of the de
velopment of the commerce of Spain and
Portugal In America third, because
Queen Elizabeth deprived the league of
monopolies and exclusive privileges In
London which had been enjoyed since the
time of Henry III, and finally because
II the relSlOuS disturbances and the
generalization and commercial disasters
during the thirty years war. The last
General assembly of the members Of the
league was held at Lubbock in 1869. A
few years after only Lubbock. Hamburg
and Bremen remained, and finally Brem-
en- alone retained what was left of the
organization.
There has been a remarkable advance
n the foreign commerce Of Germany dur
ing the last few years: It has kept pace
with the industrial development. Ger
many is now one of the most prosperous
of nations. The increase of population
of the larger cities has been quite as
rapid as that of similar cities in the
United States. For example, during the
last five years Hamburg has increased
from Ss5,OOA to $4,000. Bremen from
215 600 to 277.OOO Munich from 10000 to
$4,000, Leipzig from $4,000 to 40 743,
Dresden from $4,000 to 546, j7,

Gothic translation of the Bible is the

The word ''hansa'' undo,lbte dly had
several meanings and was adopted by the
group OF merchants who organized the
commercial league in the general sense
or union. There is no record showing
the exact date of its origin. but the
league contained two elements. which
were the German merchants at home and
the German merchants abroad. and the
reason for it was found in the dangers
OF travelling and shipping merchandise In
the middle ages. Shippers had no charts
or cOmpasses to guide their courses and
were compelled to keep near shore to
avoid the dangers of the open sea. This
exposed them to the ravageS of pirates.
Therefore. for mutual protection, ships
sailed in fleets. and by natural evolution
there was cooperation among the owners
of the fleets to increase their powers OF
resistance and the economy of carrying
on their business.
The union thus begun on sea was adopt
ed on land to protect merchandise in
transit from highwaymen and robbers.
Transportation conditions required fire.
quent storpages. In stormy weather and
in midWinter it was frequently necessary
to make long stays, which required ware
houses for the storage of goods. and CO.
operation in that line was necessary for
safety and economy.
This union of interests enlarged and ex-
tended until the Hanseatic League was
formed, with its principal headquarters at
Wisely. on the little island of Gothland
off the coast of Sweden. Mimi Novgorod,
Russia, where the traders of Europe met
those of Asia. Bergen. Norway: Bruges,

tai of the league which was due largely
to it's central geographical position and
the enterprise of its merchants.
