KRUPP HEAD
DENIES CHARGE
OF THE TIGER
Declares no Cannon Are Be-
ing Turned Out of Plant
Gives List of Articles
BY Milton Bronner
NEA Staff Correspondent

Berlin, Jan. 6.-"Georges Glenn
eneeau asserts that Germany is turn
ing out cannon in quantities in pre-
paration for a war of revenge upon
France. May l see where krupps are
turning out those cannon?"
The man of whom l made this re-
quest was Herr Fritz Homann of
the great Krupp concern. 1t is one
Of his duties to receive inquisitive
journalists. His eyes twinkled for
one of the most closely watched
places in eli Germany, so far as the
allies are concerned, is this same
Krupp plant. There is an allied
military commission stationed at
Essen. At it's head are some Bril-
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," said Herr Hamann,
you can visit the whole place.
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 Hin
dinburg plant in which during the
war: the great guns were made; an
other in which guns were repaired;
and a third in which armor plate
for. ships, forts and other purposes
was manufactured At the allies
order over 5000 machines, worth in
deprecated German money billions
of marks, had to be strapped. New
machinery was Installed and now the
things connected with peaceful labor
are turned out.
The Hindenburg plant is devoted
to, railway locomotives and tenders.
When l saw the place 5000 men were
at work.
In the cannon repair plant they
are now repairing locomotives.
The one-time afmor plate factory
is turning out rods and rails.t~
Other new departures for Krupps
are cash registers, agricultural i'm
plements, motor lorries, tractors, and
other articles in which America has
hitherto led.
Krupps are seeking a market not
only at home, but in South America
Scandinavia, Spain and later they
expec. to be in on the ground floor in
Russia.
This experience is SO typical.
Before the war Krupps used q
100000 tons of iron ore year, half
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1923-01-08

came from their own iron mine 5,
100000 tons from Spain and the rest
from Lorraine, then Il part OF Ger
many. Now the firm has to import
80 per cent of what it uses.
Before the war, from It's own
mines, Krupps got 100000 tons Of
coal, using 100000 tons and selling
the balance. Now, after deliveries
to the allies, the concern is allowed
only 100000 tons from its own
mines. 1t makes up the balance by
buying Ignite another financial bur
den.
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 H.
100000 tons Of coal and export 49,.
100000 but now has none for ex-
port and has to buy q great deal.
The same loss of territory, which
brought Germany precarious coal
situation. has even more seriously
affected her as to iron ore, pig iron
and steel.
1t is asserted that she was de-
prived of fourfifths of her iron ore
two-fifths of her pig iron and one
third Of her steel. German iron and
steel masters say they face the fu.
ture with the deepest anxiety. One
does see plants which are not work
ing to capacity; even some closed
down, but German needs and export
requirements are such that, even
with the handicap of expensive ore
and coal, they generally are manaC>
ing to carry on.

owe claim that because of May
fields alleged membership in the Ku
Klux Klan and because Of the klan's
endorsement Of his election, he can
not take the oath of senator" Rut-
ledge says
eve believe this is so because
every klansman is sworn not to re-
veal anything concerning the actions
of brother klahsman and because
the so-calfed khan craft tenets make
every ku Kluxer an enemy to the re-
ligious and other freedom Of Ameri-
can citizens guaranteed under, the
constitution"
Protest Meet.
Before the Mayfield case is heard,
a giant protest meeting of anti-klan
delegates representing hundreds Of
hostile organizations throughout the
country will be held at Chicago,
O'Donnell says.
''The Mayfield case is only the
start of our fight on the klan," he
says. 1--WE shall push our fight to
the end through pitiless publicity
and political battle"
When Mayfeld ran for the Senate
there came whisperings that he was
a klansman, that the khan had
pledged him it's support and that he
had addressed khan gatherings in
the robe and hood of the order.
"klan No Issue"
But when Mayfeld was asked to
come out flat-footedly on the Ku
Klux issue he said that it had no
place in his campaign, declaring his
issue was the repeal Of the Esch-
Cummins railway legislation. He re-
peatedly refused to state his position
on the khan.
Later Mayfield asserted he had
been Il member of the Austin khan,
but that he had resigned in Janu-
airy, 1921.
James E. Ferguson, Mayfelds anti
khan opponent, declared during the
Texas campaign that high officials of
the khan had written letters endors-
ing Maxfield and declaring he was
a klansWan in good standing long
after that date.

Still Il Plunger

Seattle, Jan. G.-Alvo Won Alven-
sleben, scion cf one of the proudest
fam lies of Prussia, who had mil
lions few years ago and who was
reported to be the personal friend
and agent of the kaiser, today is
running n little toy store here.
After remaining in obscurt y since
his release from Fort Douglas, Utah,
where he was informed, Won Alvens-
leben suddenly made his reappear-
ancc in Seattle, and advertised by
the newspaper stories about his
spectacular past, is doing rushing
business.
Won Alvensleben's career rivals
anything in fiction. Born in fam
lily Identified w tn the German no
billy since 1856, he was brought up
in the military caste and was an Of
ticer II the German army.
Defies Tradition
He dcfied tradition, res gned his
commission and came to this coun-
try in 1904. After working as COM

two years, he made "stake" and
plunged into land speculations. He
made millions.
For years he was the social leader
of Vancouver. He had mansion
that rivaled old world castles. He
was attended by huge retinues of
servants. He operated whole fleet
Of eXpens We automobiles. He sup
ported stable OF polo ponies.
Then came the war. Won Alvens-
lebcn came to the United States, but
ugly rumors followed him and
wrecked his business. The story was
generally printed that he was slated
to be govern or-gencral of Canada
if the kaiser won. And he was GER
tainly intimate with the German
embassy.
Interned Three Years
Won Alvensleben was interned and
kept in capt witty three years. He
lost what remained of his fortune
either through confiscation or be-
cause of unpaid taxes.
Finally released, he had just SOL
but he went into business at once
as an exporter and importer and was
successful IN modest way.
He was still a plunger. He put
his entire cap tai into cargo of
German Christmas goods. He would
have realized handsomely if the
shipment hadn't been delayed-ar-
irving too late for Christmas.
That resulted in his decision to
enter the retail trade-and he's max
ing a success at it. The graces which
he once displayed at the German
court are now showered upon the
humble housewives of Seattle-and
they like it.

Chicago, Jan. Whether the Ku

This means that Mayfield, who al

face further obstacles when he
