HOW ENGLAND HELP
ED KRUPP TO
START INTERNAL. WORKS.

INV ED KRUPP TO
START INTERNAL WORKS.
There is no doubt that this
country started Germany on her
Industrial way, showing her the
ropes, gave her the wrinkles,
and generally treated her as
good apprentice; but it is not
generally known that Krupp
himself, the man who has en-
abled the kaiser to hold out so
long, and who led him to be-
lieve that he could smash his
way to world dominion, got his
first capital here.
Alfred Krupp came to Bir-
mingham in 1910 with an intro
duction to a great English firm
of electrO-platers from Doctor
SiemenS, and offered them an
invention of his own for rolling
the metal "blanks" from which
forks and spoons are made. For
once German inventiOn-fOr
it must be said that the Ger
mans have been good at utiliz-
ing but bad at imitating-turned
out to be of use, and Krupp got
10000 from the firm for his ma
chine.
With this money he returned
to Germany, went to Essen, and
there laid the foundation of the
gigantic business which has
since become menace to the
whole WOrld.-LOndOn Answers.

BANDITS HAVE 17TH CENTURY STAGE SETTING

Picking, April 27,-(Correspondence of the Associated Fress:) The cap ture of Engineer G. A. Kyle of Port land, Oregon, and two assistants on March 6 by bandits who threatened to send back their heads unless ransom was forthcoming by March 22 had all the settings of a XVII century adventure.
 Kyle, who is chief engineer of the Chou-Hsiang Railway, left Peking on February 27 for Yenchang, Honan, to investigate a line that is under survey from this point to Changtu in Szech- huan. In his party were also D. J. Purcell and four Chinese.
 Kyle had with him S13,000 in sil- yer for the use of his own party and the two surveying parties which had preceded him. It was soon widely known that the party was carrying a large sum of money, it being inn possible to hide this fact. There were IA carloads of baggage, and the party were under the protection of an escort supplied by the Wuyang magistrate.
 On March f the party passed the village of Chang Pa Chuang, where a band of robbers was having break fast. They allowed the party to pass on unmolested but after it had gone short distance. they started in pur- suit, opening fire from behind. The party ran toward the village of Hu Chang Chuang but they encountered another band of robbers from the south hills, who opened fire on them. MT Kyle and his party surrendered. Taking the two Americans and one of the Chinese engineers the bandits started for the mountains, holding at bay soldiers who attacked them by placing the Americans between them selves and the soldiers.
 The local authorities have tried to locate the bandits and release the en- gineers, but. the bandits have been shifting their quarters every day. Ac- cording to the latest reports they are somewhere in the mountains between Yehsian and Fengchan or Yehchow. The robbers who infest these regions are remnants of the White Wolf' band which ravaged this district three years ago. Their practice is to kidnap the members of wealthy families in the country and hold them for ransom in which they almost in variably succeed.
 They demanded 70 rifles and 10 boxes of ammunition before they would dis cuss the return of the Americans. A messenger sent to the robbers was told that MT. Kyle was i'll with stom- ach trouble, but that he was being "a refI111v looked after MT P1rceI1 was shown to the messenger and ap- peared to be well.
 News received from the Kyle party April 2 showed the bandits had not fulfilled their threat to kill the Amer jeans.

AUTO-INTOxICATION

'FRUTT-A-TTVES" Absolutely Pre- vents This Dangerous Condition.

7Ae chief canse of poor .Aealth is our neglect of the bowels. Waste matter, instead of passing from the lower intestine regularly every day, is allowed to remain there, generating poisons which are absorbed by the blood.
 In other words, a person who is habitually constipated, is poisoning himself. We know now that A~to- intoxicdtion, due to non-action of the bowels, is directly responsible for serious Kidney and Bladder Troubles; that it upsets the Stomach, causes Indigestion, Loss of Appetite and Sleeplessness; that chronic Rheum- atism, Gout, Pain In The Back, are relieved as soon as the bowels become regular; and that Pimples, Rashes, Eczema and other Skin Affections disappear when ''Fruit-a-tives" are taken to correct Constipation.

Review Of 1915 Effort.

Six days after the fall Of Bucharest
in 1916 the Germans made q peace
proposal. They did it on the morrow
of a great victory. but at the close of
a campaign in which they had been
defeated both at Verdun and at the
Somme. This proposal was at once
hailed in all allied countries as an
evidence Of weakness and despair and
was rejected by allied statesmen with
little thought as to the real purposes
or the actual dangers which had been
created by the German gesture. Now,
after two years. we can see clearly
what the Germans had in mind in De-
cember. 1915.
In the first place they knew that
Russia was at the end Of her rope.

military effort They knew that the
Sturmer ministry realizing that revo-

that victory was impossible and peae.
