EUGENE SCHNEIDER

Schneider is a name not at all un-
 common in Germany, but the most
 celebrated of all the Schneiders is
 numbered among the kaiser's most eff fective enemies. Eugene Schneider is
 the Krupp of France, and Le Creusot
 is the republics Essen. It is in the Le Creusot factory, under the watch full eye of M. Schneider, that nearly
 all of Frances most effective artil-
 Iery is constructed. : For four genera
 tions the Schneiders have been the
 leading armament makers of France,
 and in the opinion of many military
 experts, the Le Creusot works turn out of the most effective death deal ing machinery in the world. If the
 Krupps scored a triumph with their
 big guns, the Schneiders have re-
 taIiated with other cannon, which, if not quite so large, have possessed
 many superior features. M. Schneider
 and his army assistants, which in
 c1ude some of the ablest inventors in
 the world, are said to be engaged in
 the development of a number of new
 styles of artillery from which great
 things are expected. The first real
 test of the Schneider armament un- der modern conditions was in the Balkan war, when the French cannon used by the Balkan allies proved definitely superior to the Krupp ar
 tiIlery used by the Turks. The Ger
 mans learned much from that war, but so, too, did the French. Eugene
 Schneider the executive hea dof Le Creusot, is forty-six years. old and is one of the wealthiest men in France. He employs nearly 5O,0Oo men in his l great works, which have been much enlarged and improved since the be- ginning of the war.
