French Front, April 4.-NormanGy
is believed to be destined to become
one of the great centers of French in
dustrial activity as soon as hos.ilities
have ceased One metallurgicaI COM
gany, working under the auspices of
the French government, already has
taken the matter in hand, and is con-
structing large series of blast fur
naces to turn into steel the immense
layers of iron ore found in Lower
Normandy.
Just before the war the whole re-
gion with its mineral wealth was in
danger OF falling into the hands of
The Germans, as Thyssen, one of the
German steel kings, had acquired the
Soumont mine, about fifteen miles
from Caen, with the intention of
working it in connection with blast
furnaces he proposed to construct in
the vicinity of that city. His idea was
to furnish coal from his Westphalian
mines, and to obtain iron ore for the
German blast furnaces along the
Rhine.
TEyssen was unable to obtain n
concession for the construction of a
railroad from the mine to the port of
Caen except on the condition of unit
ing his interests to those of a French
company. This condition was accent
ed and company was formed which
at the end Of 1912 started important
works on the right bank Of the River
O,ne.
Ten million dollars had been ex-
pended when the work was interrupt-
ed by the war and the part belonging
10 Thyssen sequestered. The French
government thereupon, in view of the
great demand for cast iron and steel
for the purposes of the army, decided
10 step in and hasten the construction
OF the works. The two great national
armament works, Creusot and Saint
Chamond, interested themselves in
Inc project and established a new
company, which now has works COW
er!ng more than LOO acres near
Caen.
q railway has been laid connecting
the works with the Soumont ore
mines, 16 miles distant From these
mines, it is expected, iron ore will
DC cbtainable for an indefinite period
while coal will be brought from Eng,
lane for the present and later from
the northern departments of France
ana from Belgium by canal. Sinkings
are also in progress for the discovery
OF the prolongation of the English
coal-layers.
The works are now employed on
munitions for the French army. bur
as soon as the war has terminated
they are to be utilized to turn the
district into a gigantic steel works
ana transform the province into an
Industrial center.
