as Friedrich Krupp's widow, who. In
1926, with her brilliant l4-year-old
son Alfred, took up the task of run
ming her dead, husbands struggling
cast steel establishment. Women have
always figured large in the Krupp
family.
Her Personality.
At first glance one sees in Frau
Krupp only a somewhat plain, stolid
German hausfrau of more than aver
age height. But deeper study reveals
clearly the krupp intelligence, firm
ness and iron pertinacityl. :"Arro-
gance," some have called it. and cold
and naughty" are terms which have
found their way into the German
press at times in describing the mis-
tress of Essen. But it takes more than
ordinary drawing room graces to run
an industrial organization which on
July ], 1913, was estimated to num-
ber 255.9b9 workers and members
workers families. all under the pater-
nalistic Krupp wing.
Frau krupp Is the richest person
in Germany. The census figures on
which the income tax is based make
her fortune at $71.0O0.o00. Baron
Max Goldschmidt, the next wealthiest,
has only $23,000,00o. The kaiser has
not SO much property. although his
yearly income is greater. Her income
is $3.150,O00.

Berlin, Nov. 7.-At the head of the
great krupp works at Essen. in Rhen-
ish Prussia, where were made the
Busy Berthas" which battered the
way for the German hosts through

F.ere and Antwerp. stands a woman,
FRAU Bertha Krupp Won Bohlen und
Halbach. Still young (she is 2S) she
Is q commanding and somewhat mys-
terious figure.
Mystery has always been a char
acteristic of the Krupp family. The
sudden production of the 42-centi-
meter gun, the existence of which
was known to but a handful of army
officers, illustrated this trait, and
military observers will be surprised
II more innovations bearing the trade
mark Fried. Krupp" are not soon
interviewed. They do not make
speeches, or write books. or allow
their personalities to be exploited in
many ways considered quite proper
and usual in correct circles in the
United States.
About Bertha Krupp. as around
her father, grandfather and great.
srandfather,. a crop Of legends and
tales Of varying degrees Of proba-
oility has grown up. Her personality
has caused much interest and has
been subject to as widely differing in
terpretations as that of a royal per-
sonage. Indeed. she is royalty to a
great degree. The kaiser never came
into the vicinity of Essen during her
fathers limetime without paying a
visit to Krupp. He paid Krupp a
regular annual visit besides. This is
an honor usually reserved by the
kaiser for royal families
Bertla's Husband.
Moreover, the kaiser has conferred
on the krupps peculiar distinction,
unique in Germany, if it's like is to
be found anywhere. BY imperial de-
cree he has allowed. Bertha's hus-
band to assume the name "Krupp'
In addition to his own. The little son
of the cannon maker also will have
the right to the name. but a second
SON could not use the name Krupp.
This is to be-so the kaiser has de-
creed-a name or title going with
ownership of the Krupp gun works.
The works and the name Krupp shall
descend like the throne Of Prussia, by
primogeniture.
The husband of Frau Krupp, DR..
Gustav Krupp Won Bohlen und Hal
bach, has often been represented as
running the vast steel works of his
wife. This is a mistake. DR.. Won
bohlen was a PrusS1an dtplomatist
Of modest talents when the daughter
of the steel master gave her hand to
him. and he has never done anything
to show that the process of espousal
or of taking the name Krupp has In
some cryptic way given him an in
sight into modern steel technique
But Bertha Krupp and her sister
Barbara, two years younger, were
carefully instructed in the. secrets Of
forge and foundry under their
fathers guidance until. it is certain,
they, could astound even their cele-
brated great grandmother, Therese
Krupp, herself.
Therese Krupp will be remembered

THE GREATER COURAGE.

1sador Rayner: Men have offered
up their lives by the thousands upon
the field of battle, but in the struggle
Of existence woman Is continually
offering up her life for man. If there
is mission of mercy to preform. she
undertakes it. If there is suffering or
distress to succor her willing hand
is always ready. If wretchedness and
misery need comforter. she is pres
ent. The faintest whisper of pain
brings her as a pilgrim to its couch.
and in the chamber of death she takes
he place, assuging the hopeless suf-
ferer with the comforting assurance
that there is a home beyond the grave
free from the agony of pain. She suf-
fers herself without a murmur or com
plant, and the man that would in the
slightest degree add to it and increase
the anguish that it is her lot to bear
is beneath the level of the brute. If
she should happen to posses defects
and faults, which every human be-
ing has in a greater or less degree, let
him compare them with her virtues.
and especially with his vices and
every Impulse Of his better being will
prompt him to overlook them and
make due allowance therefor.

NOME, Sept. 14.-That many of the members of the crew of Stefan sons ship, the Karluk, have lost their lives in most horrible manner was proven today when the revenue cut ter Bear returned with eleven men of the crew whom the ship rescued from Wrangell Island. The cutter succeed ed this time in reaching the island after several failures had been made by it and by other vessels. It brought back the eleven men in a most pite- ous condition while the number now believed to have lost their lives is ex- actly the same.

SEWARD GIVES
 VIEW ON BILL
PEOPLE OF ALL CLASSES SEEN AT RANDOM GIVE OPINIONS
 ON ASSESSMENT WORK

A random canvas was made today for the Gateway in the attempt to se- cure the opinion of all kinds of peo- pie regarding the bill which has been introduced in congress to exempt peo- pie from doing assessment work this year. As most of the people of the city are interested in mining directly or indirectly all who were met with were asked for an expression. The majority seems to be opposed to the bill but as all were not seen by any means it would be, perhaps, taking too much on to declare that the vote was for or against. Several prominent business men declined to be quoted one way or the other fear ing that they would be considered as interfering in what did not concern them directly.
 Ed Whittemore, chairman of the Commercial club, declared emphati- cally that he believes it was nothing short of an outrage to ask for the ex- emption from assessment work. He is totally opposed to the bill.
 l.. V. Ray, president of the Alaska senate, says the bill would be abso- lutely useless now, anyhow, as most of the people have done their assess ment work. For that reason alone he is entirely opposed to it.
 J. c. Gilpatrick, the prominent and successful mining man, says that the bill could do no good at all now even if it could ever have done any good. All the people in the Moose Pass re- zion have done their work already and no such bill could help. He says that one man in that district already this year received $200 from Seattle peo- pie to do their work and he seems to think similar examples could be quot ed to show where the bill would be really a positive hurt to the territory.
 S. L. Colwell says that if the bill had been introduced earlier in the year it might have done some good owing to the hard times but it is use- less now and as most of the people have done their assessment work he
 
 is opposed to the bill.
 D. A. Quinn is in favor of cutting out assessment work because of the hard times, he says, many poor people feel keenly. MT. Quinn is mechanic.
 George Sexton, prominent city man, is totally opposed to the bill and says, also, that it is an outrage.
 L. A. Thurston, locator of coal lands in the Boring fields and a min ing man, believes that assessment work should be done and that the bill should not be passed.

SUPREME CLASH NOT YET COME

LONDON Sept 14-The first stage of the battle of the Marne has been apparently by the allied armies but the main German army is still intact and the supreme clash is still to before the final result of the grea battle can be decided.
 The fighting is still going along the river Marne so that the retirement of the Germans must be very slow in spite of the reports to the contrary So close the battle field to the Narne that the battle called the battle of the arne and when it is remembered that the general course of that river outside Paris to the eastward it will be seen that the Germans hardly have retired much further than they had retired two days ago.

It Is regarded here as absurd that assessment work would be eliminated on such fimSy excuse as the one presented, the ex- cuse that so many foreign residents of the territory must go to Europe rv fight that the doing of assessment in the territory would be inadvisab!e.
