Since the war brok ■ out this gigantic concern has been working day and night at a feverish rate, forging armaments for tiie land and sea forces of Germany. The arnei..from which the above inipn s-ive figure,, arc taken adds: "it is .symptomatic of tiie immense importance attached b\ the.

Krupp's guards its machine shop secrets closelyf The big lti-ineh guns, of which none had ever 1 card, with their appalling powers of annihilation, demonstrated at Licijo N-.t----mur ami Antwerp that while France and Russia in this connection had stood still, Germany was adding to her equipment the most formidable, siege gun in tho world. The. one encouraging thought that occurs is that thesebig fellows, built to batter down the walls of Paris, are still on the wrong side of tiie frontier.
