The man OF whom | made this
request was Herr Fritz Homann OF
the great Krupp concern. It is one
OF his duties to receive inquisitiye
Journalists. His eyes twinkled for
one OF the most closely watched
places In all Germany, SO far as
the allies are concerned, is this same
Krupp plant. There is an Allied
military commission stationed in
Essen. At its head are some Brit
ish army officers who know what
is, being done and their frame OF
mind is anything but pleasant when
French politicians and Journalists
make wild assertions.
"certainly.g said Herr Homann,
."yoh can visit the whole place. l
think you will find that the most
interesting from your point Of view
are the three plants the allied com.
mission made US change"
These three were the so.called
Hindenburg plant In which during
the war the great guns were made;
another in which guns we're re.
paired; and a third in which armor
plate for ships, forts and other pur.
poses was manufactured. At the
Allies order over 5000 machines.

money, billions OF marks had 10 be
scrapped. New machinery was in.
stalled and now the things con.
nected with peaceful labor are
turned out.
The Hindenburg plant is devoted
TO railway locomotives and tenders.
When !. saw the place, G,OOO men
were at work.
In tho cannon repair plant. they
are now repairing locomotives.
The one.time armor alate factory
is turning out rods and rails.
Other new departures for Krupps
are cash registers. agricultural i'm.
plemen!s. motor. lorries. tractors
and other articles in which Amer.
lea has hitherto led.
Erupps are seeking a market not
only at home. but In Sorth Amer.
!co. Scandinavia. Spain and late.
they expect to be in on the ground
floor in Russia.
This experience is so typical.

coal, using 100000 tons and SELL,
ing the balance. Now, after deliy.
cries to the allies. the concern Is,
allowed only 100000 tons from its
own mines. It makes up the bal.
ance by buying Ignite, another ii.
burden.
Due to the eight.hour law, Krupps
have to employ $1,000 men, where
they used to have 10000.
The coal situation OF Krupps is
the situation OF most other big
plants in Germany, which used TO |
import 100000 tons OF coal and
export 45,000,00o, but now has none
for export and has to buy u great
deal.
