early devepoled remarkable business ability, good judgment, commercial acumen and foresight.
 The krupp family had faith, and supplied funds to enable the firm to continue. Alfred Krupp advanced from one success to another.
 He was not unobservant of the ris- ing military spirit of the Prussians. and in 1e47 he manufactured his first gun-a three-pounder weapon.
 That weapon proved the lever by which he was to raise hls business to a position of worldwide enninenee.
 He attracted the attention of the King of Prussia; he was able to come to some sort of an arrangement with Ressemer a15 siemens, when those men began the revolution in steel manufacture, and in time became a great producer of erucibIe steel.
 And then came the three short wars of 1864, 1866 and 1870, which established the name and fame of krupp's guns. Every good Prussian was henceforth prepared to bow the knee to the man who had produced guns which had enabled the army to triumph first over Denmark, then over Austria and at length over France.
 No sooner was the Emperor Will liam crowned as Emperor than an order was given for re-arrins the whole of the German army--a very profitable undertaking.
 In 1887 Alfred krupp died, being succeeded by his only son, Friedrich Alfred, who survived him only fifteen years.
 During the later years of the nine teenth century tho firm continued tc advance rapidly, acquiring mines tc supply it with ore and coal, and building shipyards to use it's stee i plates and armor, for the firm was | the inventor of now process of ar mcr manufacture, increasing the re sistance to proJeetiies by three times as compared with the wrought iror alexandria fame, carried

 Has Poor Beginning
 The early days of the krupp firm gave no promise of the great posi- ion which it was afterwards to attain tnder the fostering care of the En- eror William II.
 Srederich Krupp, its founder, was born in 1787, the son of an insignifi- cant merchant. NapoIeon's conti- mental system ruined trade on the continent for the time being, and in f8ft Frederick Krupp, having fallen il with the two brothers Kechel, who claimed they had learned the British secret Of manufacture, began expert nents.
 A small steel factory was started. bVt Krupp had quSrrels with his partners, from whom at last he broke away.
 F4e worked early and late,and in ene'iness. Slowly nis business grow, # ony very slowly. In 1926 he died 7t the early age of 39. He left his DIV q mass of debts, steel produe- Hg craft of 10 great importance, and
 son, Alfred, who wac then little ere than a fad.
 1t must have seemed a hopeless task for this lonely woman to con tinue the venture, but Alfred krupr
