CITY WHERE KRUPP
GUNS ARE MADE
ESSEN, GERMANY, HAS $4,000
WORKERS IN BIG STEEL
MILLS.

Washington, d. c., April 26.-De-
scribing the city of Essen, Germany,
and the great industrial organization
that has made it famous, the National
Geographic Society, In today's state
ment concerning the geography OF the
European war, says:
1.-The town of Essen might just as
we'll have been named 'Krupp.' of
course, Essen was founded centuries
before the House of Krupp, but its
Importance and industrial fame is OF
very recent growth. 1t is, in fact, a
product of the famous firm. Almost
every body in Essen nowadays depends
for his livelihood upon the firm OF
Krupp, and Essen is town of 100000
population. 1t might also be pointed
out that while the horizon of Essen
is about limited by Krupp steel, the
firm extends far beyond the limits OF
the city, with numerous branches,
iron ore mines, coal mines, smelters,
an industrial village bearing its name,
foundries in Berlin and other cities,
and a shipyard at Kiel.
Essen is situated in the heart of
rich coal and iron country and upon
network of railways that reach to all
of the chief mining and industrial
centers of the Rhineland. 1t is locat
ed in the Prussian Rhine province,
twenty miles northeast of Dusseldorf.
The streets of the town are clean and
we'll laid out. The houses, for the
most part, are substantially built and
belong to the firm of Krupp. There
| is. however, a thick atmosphere of in
dustrial gloom over the city 1t looks
drab in spite of paint, and cherries
i in spite of the vast wealth that its
/ labor earns. There is no single lighter
! feature to redeem the city which has
been called into an important place In
the world by Germany's greatest steel
| firm.
"The firm of Krupp, about which
numerous notices have been printed
since the wars outbreak, is little more
than 1913 years old. However, it is
some years since a prominent French
man wrote a thick volume about the
dynasty of Krupp, in which he consid
ers this familys fortune as large
enough to be classed among the Sever
World Wonders.
"The foundation of the Krupp firm
at Essen on the Ruhr occurred in the
I wear 1912. It was in the first days o
cast steel, and, at that time, the Eng
! fish steel industry led the world almos
to a degree of monopoly. Alfre'
Krupps works were established TO
the manufacture of cast steel. TIL
early days of the firm were days o
bitter and, apparently, fruitless strug
Gle. AS late as 1S4S, sc years afte
their foundation, the Krupp work
employed only 20 workmen. But the
the age of railways dawned, and cas-
, steel became an important article @
commerce. About this time, too, tn
owner went into the work of deYe-oI
inc guns. and his factory forged tn
cast steel guns amid whose thunde
the Empire was forged and welded.

the despoilment complete.

OF the fact that he was badly hurt and
must find succor. At last his blurred
sense of vision made out a fence, a

along a gravel path, gave a lurch and
landed face downward amid a redo
