ECCENTRICITIES OF LEADING
GERMAN INDUSTRIAL LEADER
Won't Employ a Stenographer. Han
ding All of His Correspondence

(By Associated Press }

Hamborn- n-the- Rhine, Nov 21.-
One of the most important wheels IN
German war machine is August Thys'
sen. in antebellam days coal and steel
magnate of the first rank but now, in
view of the industrialization of war,
General Field Marshal of the indus
trial army, and collaboration and con-
fidant of Hindenburg. He is small
and frail, but powerful as an indus
trial leader Notwithstanding the tre- !
mendous scope of his work he clings
stubbonrnly to old-fashioned methods
where he himself is concerned.
He will not tolerate stenographer
for his personal use, but writes all his
letters by hand His correspondence
is large, much larger than he can at
tend to, along with other duties at his
office. So he takes what is left over
home with him to his only luxury, his
castle home near Kettwg, and after
dinner finishes it. if it takes until the
wee small hours of the morning.
Despite his enormous wealth he has
never personally owned an automo-
bile, nor will he ride in one to save his
own time. He goes and comes from
his home to his office on foot or in
a street car He wears modest,
dark colored business suit instead of
the formal morning suit" so gener-
ally affected in Germany. and looks
less like a multi-millionaire than the
average clerk
From the very outset of his climb
from comparative poverty to great
riches, and above all to very great
renown as an industrial leader, Herr
Thyssen has steadfastly refused titles
of all kinds.
In the late Sos he founded an iron
establishment in Duisburg with his
total capital of 5000 Thalers (about
S6,0OO) and in 1871 moved his plant
to Muelheim on the Ruhr, where there
later came into existence the plant
"Deutscher aiser." which today in
cludes one-tenth of the coal lands OF
: Westphalia and gigantic steel mills
Just before the war there were EN-
ployed some 10000 men and the Goa
fields contained some $40 millions o.
cubic meters of coal He is now the
principal owner of half a dozen hug,

Uncle Sam is going to bring land
less man and manless land together!
At least, he hopes to!
The United States reclamation serv-
ice has decided on policy to reduce
the cost of land and water on it's irri-
cation projects.
Heretofore, when prospective set
tier obtained his united on reclama-
ton project he had to clear and level
the land and prepare it for his allot-
ment of water by his own individual
efforts.
1t is an engineers job to level and
prepare this land so water distribu-
ton will be just right. And the av-
erage settler is not an engineer.
Although the reclamation service
has done its best to instruct the set
tier how to clear and level his land,
many settlers have failed. Individual
settlers are usually poor men, unable
to hire labor or expensive machinery
for land clearing.
/ A year ago F. X. Lane, secretary OF
the interior. appointed a board tc
study how cost of irrigation farming
could be reduced.
This board, headed by Elwood Mead
formerly in charge of orrigation worl
in Australia, has recommended tina
