A PIONEER.
Germany's Pioneer White Ribboner, Ottilie Hoffmann Breman, has just passed away at the age of 90 years. She was the founder of the German Branch of the W.C.T.U. She was born of wealthy and cultunnl parents, and contrary to all precedent, trained as a teacher. She became Governess to the daughters of Lady Carlisle, and in her home met Frances Willard. After long preparation she succeeded in starting a branch. In 1914 there were 52 branches with 2,600 members. The war killed many of the branches, but the work has revived, and already Germany has 50 Unions with 2.000 members. In 1922 two Presidents of the German W.C.T.U. went to the World’s Convention at Philadelphia.
