THE KRuPP ENERGIES

OF late many efforts have been made
by men of power and influence in
Germany to divert the mind of the
rest of the world from the role Ger
many has taken in the war. 1t is a
constant duty of the news writer's in
that country to shape and dish out
news to the world which would tend
to make men forget. Some of it is
sincere, some is formulated to suit the
occasion and the purpose
The announcement that the great
Germany Krupp gun works are to be
diverted into the manufacture of the
arts of peace is possibly as much n
studied announcement as any Of them
1t certainly. will be read with inter
est by the people of other nations.

her war industries and pursuits again

NEWSPAPER MEN AT THE FRONT

Some days ago, the Dispatch hand
led news item stating that 500 news
paper men were going across to at
tend the peace conference and in
less than serious mein asked whether
that many could have been induced
to cross when the u.boats were still
not tied up. This has brought an af
firmative answer from more than one
Georgia newspaper Noteworthy is
that from the Triton Gazette whose
editor has five sons in the war, all Of
them in France and all of them volun-
teers.
Whether we grew eloquent in ans
wering that querry, were it our priyil-
ege, we know that any man with five
sons in this war and all of them vol.
unteers ought to count it a privilege

but because the greatest war mater
ial making establishment in the
world for half century, is to be strip
ped of the original purpose and its
great output is to be turned into
peaceful channels, is the announce
ment burdened with more than ordi-
nary interest.
But is not this a rather tragic an
nouncement? The German superman
received his warlike inspiration from
the atmosphere which centered a.
round Essen. Friedrich Alfred Krupp
was known in Germany as the cannon
king. He invented a new bessemer
stell out of which he made rifles and
cannon discovered new method of
hardening armor plate. AT his death
he was the riches man in the empire
The great Krupp works covered more
than $50 acres of ground when, he
died in 1902 and since that time Ger
many has enriched this plan t with
war orders unlike the world has ever
heard of at any prior time in history.
1t was believed there could be
nothing like it in all the world, and
there was not, With this great enter
prise turning out war material, the
German superman went forth to con-
quer the world 1t was firmly believed
in Germany that other nations could
not begin to meet the need of equip
ment which the Krupp works supplied
for their armies. These monstrous
stell furnaces burned with the fires
Of war day and night.
But there were other great steel
and iron industries. There were other
furnaces aglow with the making of
the products of nations in the pursuit
Of peace. While the German was mar
ching to battle with the self assur-
ance that there would be no one to
check his progress, these other steel
mills and great furnaces 5000 miles
away were turning to the making of
the implements which were to prove
the undoing of the German superman.
There came a day of reckoning and
the German soldier who had placed.
his. faith in. the work at Essen had
had met greater than Essen. Mills
and furnaces which were but yester-
day busy with the arts of peace were
today burning with the zeal of an in
domitable war making force.
The man who put his faith in the
great KrIpp works and lost all, now
sees how easily foe can turn the
mills and furnaces of peace time into
the prosecution of war. Krupp had
been building for half century For
100 years young nation had
sought liberty and peace and in So do
ing had builded better than the man
who lived in the atmosphere of Essen
When they went to war, it was to do
superior fighting. 1t was to spell the
doom of militarism for Germany.
And now the Krupp works, too, will
pursue the arts of peace! Is it that
the German superman sees that the
civilized world is going to make him
put down his sword forever? The Ger
man knows that the daily schedule
followed by the cannon king is a
thing of the past. When the wheels
at Essen turn again, they must follow
the arts of peace. After all, will it not
be blessing that the great gun works
can be given to industries which will
count in paying the enormous war
debt to the rest of the world?
