Industrial enterprise anywhere has ever
shown a more astonishing development,
reflected more dramatically the result
of human concentration, or achieved
wider notoriety among the nations
of the world.
First Krupp Shop Tiny.
More than a hundred years ago the
first Krupp set up his small, crude
shop and began to make by hand the
tools, the drills and chisels, used by
tanners, blacksmiths and carpenters
along the Ruhr and the Rhine. He
also made dies for use in the mint OF
the government. Within thirty years,
due to the old ambition for expansion.
Krupp tools were known and used as
far away as Greece and India. Here,
about this time also, spoons were hrSt
rolled from one solid block of metal
by an odd-looking machine invented
for that purpose.
"Then came the great era OF mass
production in steam engines. hammers,
steel tires for railway cars, cast-steel
shafts for river and ocean steamers.
and finally that astonishing output or
guns and armor plate which brought
the militartistic nations of the world
to buy at Essen.
THE daily roar of artillery at the
proving grounds. where each new gun
was tested, added to the din Of
whistles, rushing trains and rattling
gears, made pre-war Ruhr probably
the noisiest place on earth.

ESSEN. ONCE A SMALL HAMLET.

Essen, whose name is known around

marching because reparation pay

committed by Germany In execution

conformity with the stipulations In

French government has decided to
send into the Ruhr a mission of con-
troll, composed of engineers. and en-
powered with the necessary author
ity to watch over the action of the
KohIen Syndicate, and to assure. by
means of orders given by it's presi-
dent either to this syndicate or to the
German transportation service, the
strict application of the programs
fixed by the reparations commission
and to take all measures necessary
for the payment of reparations.
THE Italian government also has
decided to have italian engineers par
ticipate.
This mission will have powers de-
fined by the two attached documents,
which the German government is ask
ed to bring to the attention of the au-
thorities concerned. at the same time

tions to conform exactly with the pro-
visions they contain.
Military Purpose DiscIaimed. =.
The French government declares il
has no thought of proceeding at this
moment with an operation of a mill
tary nature, nor occupation of a po-
lltical character; IL simply sends into
functionaries, whose object is clearly
defined It's duty is to assure the re-
spect by Germany of the obligations
contained in the treaty of Versailles.

troops necessary to safeguard the
mission and guarantee the execution
of its mandate. No disarrangement

government and upon that of all au-
thoritieS, whoever they may be. In
case, by any sort of maneuver. the
operations of the missions of func-

The initial daily production credit.

GRAIN PRICES CLIMB
ON EXPORT DEMAND
Closing Is Firm at Much Higher Quotations in Compar-
ison with Week Ago as Result of the Heaviest
Foreigns Orders in Months

CHICAGO, April Wheat prices
closed firm today, marking a decided
lift In price during the week. The
Increase in the main was credited to
the biggest export buying in months
and reports from the grain belt on
crop conditions. which have been un-
favorable at times. Compared with 4
week ago wheat today was az to
4is emit net higher, with May s1.2S
to s1.2Sb and July s1.2oh to s1.2oM.
With Europe taking 5000 900
bushels from North America in two
days and with domestic wheat form
ing nearly half the total, bears were
under a decided handicap during, the
week. Unreasonable cold and insult
hciency of moisture together with re-
ports of crop damage and of delay
to seeding tended also to give the adj
vantage clearly to the bull side of
the market at least for the time be-
ing. Under such circumstances and
with signs that speculative interest
had somewhat enlarged, the highest
prices yet this season were attained
by the new crop deliveries, July and
September.
Estimates were current that the
domestic winter wheat yield for 1923
would aggregate only $50. 10000 O0
bushels as against 5se, Ooo, 900 bushels
harvested last ear. Besides. a sub
stantial decrease of the United States
visible supply total attracted atten-
ton. On the other hand. sales of
wheat to go into storage here for de-
livery on May contracts were re-
sponsible for various transient set
backs in price. AS a rule however,
