CLAIMS ESSEN IS
WEAKEST SPOT IN
GERMAN SYSTEM
CORRESPONDENT ASSERTS GER
MAN NAVY AND ARMY DEPEN-
DENT ON KRUPP GUN MAN
UFACTURING CITY.
LIKELY OBJECTIVE POINT IN
CASE GERMANY is INVADED
BY PHILLIP EVERETT.


London, Oct. Essen, and not Ber-
lin, is the city the allies would gain
most by capturing. This is because
the German army and navy are large
ly dependent on the great Krupp
works.
If iermany is invaded l would not
be surprised to see the French and
British armies strike at Essen in an
effort to cripple Germany's gun supply
system This is weak spot in Ger
many's arrangements.
The navy as well as the army is
largely dependent on the Krupps. This
is factor to be considered in the
strenuous efforts the German admiral
ty is now making with view to bring
ing the German fleet on something like
a parity with the allies.
Shipbuilding Is Rushed.
Just at present both Germany and
Great Britain are pushing their ship
yards to the limit. 1t is generally
believed that the German fleet is
waiting for new vessels before coming
out of the harbors to attack the Brit
Ism Meet IN the North sea.
In regard to battleships, the next
vessels to be added to the German
navy are the three of the 1911 pro-
gram, the KONG, Markgraf and Gross.
err .>urfurst. They are understood to
be fitting out at Wilhelmshaven dock.
yard, the Weser yard, Bremen and the
Vulcan yard, Hamburg, respectively.
They were all launched during 1913,
the KONG on March i, the Markgraf
on Tune A and the Grosser Kurfurst
on May g.
May Be Under Pennant Now.
The three battleships referred to are
now due for commissioning, and may
be already under the pennant. The
next to follow them will be the Kron-.
prinz, the only battleship of the 1912
progrs I, which was launched on Feb.
81 last, and was due to join the fleet
next summer. With little speeding
up, however, it might be possible to
take three or four months off her
building period, in which case Ger.
many could add by next spring four
new dreadnought battleships to the 10
she had in commission before the war
broke out.
In the same annual program as the
four battleships mentioned are the two
battle cruisers Dernlinger Q91D and
Leutzow (1912).
Russians May Interfere.
There is chance, of course that the
Russians may interfere with shipbuild-
ing at Danzig and Bibling in pushing
their armies into east Prussia. An
other battle cruiser is the Salamis,
which was laid down by the Vulcan
company in January, 1913, for the
Greek navy. This vessel had not been
launched at the end of July. She was
to have received an Americn arma-
ment of eight 14-inch guns, manufac-
tured by the Bethlehem Steel company,
but it is doubtful if they have been
delivered.
Torpedo Craft in Making.
It is in regard to torpedo craft, both
destroyers and submarines, that Ger
many will probably be able to strengt-
hen her fleet materially and rapidly.

Greatest Battle Near crscow.
The battle which promises to lie the
greatest and most important of the
eastern campaign has commenced near
Cracow, Galicia, where an Austro-
German army, estimated at 100000
men, is endeavoring to check the Rus
sian advance. This combined Austro-
German army has occupied line just
inside the Russian Poland frontier,
from Cracow through Czenstochowa to
Kalisz, and has had plenty of time to
prepare strong defensive positions.
Both sides are bringing up reinforce

Petrograd, Oct. 5.-There are 10000

The city and its suburbs form one gi-

schools, churches, lodging houses and
other buildings have been transformed
into Red Cross stations for the care
of the wounded who are brought back
from Galicia and the German border.
The vast numbers of wounded that
have poured into Moscow in special
trains shows how furious has been
the fighting.
