!, ONE FRENCH PRoFITEER.
(By United Press.)

Paris, Feb. 10. (By, MaiL)-Ger-
many, planning to attack France,
went to France and bought great
stores Of materials essential to wag-
ing the war.
Disclosure of this fact, through
seizure of correspondence in the Of
fee of Giraud-J Jordan, a leading
French dealer in iron and steel ma
terials,s has created a sensation in pol
itical and industrial circles.
This French merchant in 1912
completed a deal whereby the Krupps
laid I'M Is 900 tons of iron silicium,
an essential in gun forging, not avail
able in Germany. The Krupps' let
ters frankly state that they want the
material as reserve store on ac-
count of the approaching war.
The French Central committee of
Iron Manufacturers defends the mer-
chant F1Sho sold the war material to
Germany, saying he had perfect
right to do so. but public sentiment
strongly condemns him. 1t is pointed
ssut that he did not take the pains to
inform the French war ministry of

UNITED Press correspondent

Omitted Press correspondent
With the Americans on the Rhine,
Feb. 4. (By Mail. lin handing over
the heavy artillery to the American
authorities under the terms of the
armistice, the Germans attempted to
work a Teuton trick or. two by ten
deringf guns of antiquated models.
The German officers were frankly
surprised and disconnected by the in
innate knowledge of German gun
models displayed by certain Ameri-
can artillery officers. AS result a
large percentage of the big guns of
fered We're rejected as of prewar de-
sign. .,S =.
The group of German artillery
officers probably would be vastly in
terested in knowing just how the
Americans knew all about the in
tracacies Of their guns. It is secret
no longer. Z. ..sI:1
When the Third army first entered
Coblenz the artillery experts found a
young. German. lieutenant remaining
behind to turn over certain guns
abandoned by the German Third
army. Lieutenant Colonel Bowley of
the ordinance department engaged
the young officer in an argument
over the models of guns, and insisted
that the German must produce an
artillery handbook to prove that the
guns were Of recent model The lieu-
tenant hied himself away to Berlin
and returned with the handbook and
proved his point easily. But the
handbook remained in American
hands. The valuable information it
contained concerning German guns
was translated and studied.
Then, when the party Of German
artillery officers from Essen blithely
showed up and tried to palm off all
their junk guns upon the American
army, they ran into a surprising ar
ray Of knowledge about gun models.
They ~couldn't understand it, be-
cause they never had credited the
Americans with any great amount Of
thoroughness. 49,
The handbook also contained a
large amount of valuable information
about the manufacture of big guns
and steel processes used by the Essen
plant. -

BERLIN WILL KEEP
II. :'''' "! SCARS OF BATTLE
By Frank J. Taylor.


UNITED Press correspondent
Berlin, Feb. l. (By Mail.)-The
store windows of Berlin are among
the oldest evidences of the fighting
of the revolution. Everywhere, where
there has been fighting, the window
panes have suffered, but Berlin is
different. -. =. :
In towns along the front window
panes were no more after the violent
bombardments of both armies; in
Paris and other cities they were badly
crashed in as the, result OF bombing
raids, but Berlin's panes merely have
holes in them. !. rs A. \.
AS machinegun bullets few in
every direction, they pierced the win
dows with sharp round holes less thar,
an inch in diameter, around each OF
which is flaky fringe. Coming SO
fast, they did not crack the glass,
especially the thick plate glass win
dows. .. -. :. =
In one single pane on Jersualem-
strasse YOU can count more than
three hundred holes in the plate glass
pane of shoe store. AS yet the
plate of glass is not cracked, and it
is solid, but it will not keep out wind
or water. a., .-. ~,
In some blocks scarcely a pane is
left without from one to hundred
holes in it, though rarely was a win
dow broken 50 badly it had to be
boarded up. In most cases, the shop
keepers swept out the fragments OF
glass, and the holes in the windows
serve as an additional attraction to
irrespective customers.
Considering the cost of plate glass
windows, and the lack Of necessity OF
replacing plates damaged merely by
holes bored in them, it is likely Ber..
lin storekeepers will tolerate and
point with pride to their evidences OF
the revolution for years to come.
Fronts of the modern buildings
along the principal streets Of fighting
also are badly Clipped with spattersd
holes, not very deep, but giving the
