The Gun-lnaking Industry.

As an illustration of the magnitude
of the business involved in the pur-
chase by the smaller powers of war
material in Europe, one has only to
look at the number OF men employed
at such great plants as the Krupp Of
Germany, the CreusOt in France, and
those of the Armstrong; and Vickers
Sons & Maxim of England. Krupp
employs something like $4,000 men:
the two English firms employ collec-
lively about $4,000 men; and the Creu-
sot plant about $4,000. No reckoning
is here made of the famous Loewe
works of Berlin, OF of Italian, Belgian
and numerous French firms. With the
exception Of Krupp, the above estab-
lishments ordinarily conflne them
selves to filling foreign orders-HaI
