GRIM MENACE BACK
OF KPUpP TRIAL

NEW YORK, May 18,-Behind the
trial of Baron Gustav Krupp Won
Bohlen and eight Of his directors, as
sistants and overseers who were tried
by the French on the charge of en-
dangering the lives of French sol
diers, is another story, according 80
Bob Dorman, N. E. A. Service staff
writer. It's a story that was told me
by Germans, when went through the
Krupp works at Essen, and also by
French soldiers during the months
spent in the Ruhr.
The trial grew out of the killing Of
13 workmen at the factory when they
engaged in a hostile demonstration
against the French who had entered
the plant in order to requisition autos
for military use. Krupp Won Bohlen
and his associates are charged with
melting their Workmen to attack the
French.
But the story goes back farther
than that day when the Workmen of
Krupp faced the muzzles Of the
French guns. 1t had its beginning
in the French fear Of Krupp-Krupp
the worlds largest and most famous
manufacturer Of war materials
After the signing Of the Treaty Of
Versailles, the first step was to rem
der impotent, so far as possible, the
Krupp war factory. For a time all
went we'll, thousands of guns and big
shells were destroyed, machines for
the manufacture of war material
were dismantled and the great prov
ing ground for big guns at the Krupp
factory was wrecked.
Then a snag was struck.
The wreckers had come to the shop
known as "kanonen Werkstatt No,
H." the shop where the enormous
guns, the outstanding surprise Of the
war had been made.
re Germans were polite but in
flexible. They refused to permit the
destruction of the big lathes which
had been used for the boring of the
big guns.
They claimed the right under the
Treaty of Versailles to manufacture
articles of commerce. They claimed
that the big gun shop was the only
shop they had suitable for the turn
ing out of such articles as big rolls
for heavy rolling mills, long and
heavy shafts, etc. It was necessary
for the manufacture of the large and
heavy hollow-forged tubes essential
to the production of nitrates from
the nitrogen Of the air, process
vital to German agriculture.
The allies were divided. France in
sisted the big gun shop must go be-
cause it was one of the chief factors
in the German plan for world domin-
alton.
But nothing was done. The big
shop stands today as it stod in 1914.
1t is busily engaged in turning out
implements Of peace, but it still re-
tains its potentialities for war
France is frankly afraid She Is
seeking an excuse to remove at least
one of her fears.
A rising Of the Krupp workmen
would furnish such an excuse.
And the Krupp workmen have
threatened to rise should the Krupp
officials be convicted by the French.

Germans in Ruhr Forced
to Make Own 'Money"

London-Germans in the occupied
territory are turning out homemade
currency notes to take the place of
paper of the Reichbank which is I'M
obtainable, writes the Dusseldorf cor
respondent of the Daily Mail. He says
the private firms and manufacturers
are inundating the finance ministry at
Berlin with requests for permission to
print their own currency.
Otherwise, they say, they are unable
to pay their employees. Some bust
ness combines already have issued
such notes and there are instances
where the managers of mines have put
out 100.00O-mark bonds against the as
sets of the mines. One Dusseldorf
firm has issued metal tokens of vari-
Gus amounts.
