GERMAN AVIATOR.
KILLED NEAR CITY.
FAMED IN HISTORY

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 25.-
Krefeld, the city of Prussia from which
comes the news of the death of Lieut.
Schaefer, one of Germany's star avia-
tors, who had been credited with the
destruction of thirty airplanes belong
ing to the a" IS, is the subjec of a
bulletin issued by the National Geo
graphic society, which says:
"Krefeld, the great silk and velvet
manufacturing center of Rhenish Prus-
STA, from which America and England
annually received S5,O00,000 worth of
these fabrics before the war, is one
of the most progressive of modern
German~municipalities It's population
at the outbreak of the war was 10000,
having increased fourfold druing the
last half Of the 18th century.
unlike most cities dating from med
ieval times (the first mention of it
occurs in the annals of the 18th CEN
tury) Krefeld was always an open
town The four great boulevards
which enclose it form great rectan-
gle, instead of a circle, such as the
boulevards which have replaced the
Notifications of walled cities.
THE city is situated three miles from
the Rhine on the left bank and is "a
miles northwest of Cologne, and Is
miles northwest of Dusseldorf. It's wa
ter commerce passes through the large
harbor of Linn, which it owns.
THE prosperity of Krefeld is attrib-
uted to the fact that it offered an asy>
lum to protestants and mennonites in
the 18th and 18th centuries. These
peoples fleeing from religious perse-
cution, brought with them the art of
velcvet, linen and silk weaving, the
last named being introduced from Hol-
land in the 18th century. Now, or at
least in the prosperous times just be-
for the outbreak of the war. there were
more than 10000 looms in operation
in the city, producing fabrics valued at
S20,00O,00O annually, Other industrial
activities of the community included
the manufacture of cellulose, chemi-
Gals, leather, dyes, carpets, cravats,
cotton goods and machinery. The Kre-
field technical school for the study of
the textile industry is world famous
aid in times of peace enrolls students
from many countries.
Three miles to the south is the
Gradbach road, memorial of the bat
tie of Krefeld in which Frederick the
Greats general, the Duke of Bruins
wick, defeated the French during the
Seven Years War.
From a sentimental standpoint Kre-
field derives its chief Importance to the
people of Germany from the fact that
it was here ahtKarl Wilhelm, com
poser of the national air, Die Wact Am
Rhein,' was living at the time he gave
that music to Prussia. Wilhelm was
born at Schmalkaldan in 1915, but for
q years (1S4O to 1869 he was music
teacher and director at Krefeld, where
a monument has been erected to his
memoyr"

In the preparation of the plans to
be laid before the president and con-
gress the laws and experiences Of
other countries have been studied and
useful ideas have been suggested by in
surance men. 1t is hoped to have the
plans ready in the near future, as it is
desirable that the subject be con-
sidered by congress during the pres
ent session"
