KRUUP FALLS IN
COLLAPSE WITH
THE EMPIRE
By Archibald Hurd
LONDON. February 1.—The down
fall of thd great armament firm
founded by Frederich Krupp rather
over a century ago .just before the
battle of Waterloo, is an event of
world-wide significance.
It was the child of Prussianism
and supplied the classic illust-ation
of the fruits of government-con
trolled works for the creation of mu
nitions of war.
Nominally, it was a private com
*'£ny. but in offer; it was a depart
‘bought no shame that the Kaiser
irmseif should be one of the largest
'csdlno public men, exercising cem

Subsidised by tha government, whsus

if.s cita cf tha dividends it paid, it
spread its tanaciei throughout the
whole Empire, owning its own coal
cwn press, its members in the Reich

cited German war passions.
Has Poor Beginning
Tiie early days of the Krupp firm
'ivs no promise of the great posl
ion which it was afterwards to attain
nder the fostering care of the Ent
er William II.
Frederich Krupp, its founder, was
■orn in 1787, the son of an insignifi
cant merchant. Napoleon’s contl
ental system ruined trade on the
cntinent for the time being, and in
!311 Frederich Krupp, having fallen
i with the two brothers Kechel, who
claimed they had learned the British
secret of manfacture, began experi
ments.
A small steel factory was started,
but Krupp had qu.trrels with his
Hirers, from whom at last he broke
away.
He worked early and late,and in
•n"‘ines,3. Slowiy his business grow,
t c-i'y ve-y slowly. In 1826 he died
w the early ace of 39. He left his
d w a mass of debts, steel produo

ere than a iad.
It must ihave seemed a hopeless

tinue the venture, hut Alfred Krupp

| LOUIS HANSON. Proprietor
early devepoled remarkable business
ability, good judgment, commercial
acumen and foresight.
The Krjpp family had faith, and
supplied funds to enable the firm to
continue. Alfred Krupp advanced
from one success to another.
He was not unobservant of the ris
ing military spirit of the Prussians,
and in 1847 he manufactured his first
gun—a three-pounder weapon.
That weapon proved the lever by
which he was to raise his business
to a position of worldwide eminence.
He attracted the attention of the
King of Prussia; he was able to come
to some sort of an arrangement with
Bessemer a'ld Siemens, when those
men began the revolution in steel
manufacture, and in time became a
great producer of crucible steel.
And then came the three short
wars of 1864, 1866 and 1870, which
established the same and fame of
Krupp’s guns. Every good Prussian
was henceforth prepared to bow the
knee to the man who had produced
quns which had enabled the army to
triumph first over Denmark, then
over Austria and at length over
Prance.
No sooner was the Emperor Wil
liam crowned as Emperor than an
order was given for re-arming the
whole of the German army—a very
profitable undertaking.
In 1887 Alfred Krupp died, being
succeeded by his only son, Friedrich
Alfred, who survived him only fifteen
years.
During the later years of the nine
teenth century the firm continued to
advance rapidly, acquiring mines to
supply it with ore and coal, and
building shipyards to use its steel
j olates and armor, for the firm was
the inventor of a now process of ar
mor manufacture, increasing the re
sistance to projectiles by three times
as compared with the' wrought iron
alexaudria fame, carried.
Wilhelm Takes Interest
The business had its two sides, the
one of peace and the other of war. It
was the latter which specially at
tracted Wilhelm II, who constituted
himself the friqi^d of the second
Fredrfch Krupp, and afterwards
daughter and her husband, Baron
Krupp von Bohlen and Halbaeh, the
•resent head of the firm.

VICTOR’S PROPHECY
Victor Hugo, the illustrious French
poet, took a great interest in the poli-|
tical life of France.
The armistice conditions imposed up-!
on Germany by Marshal Foch, Includ-1
iug the occupation by the allies of the1
entirn left shore of the Rhine, and the|
four bridgehead cities; Treves, May-j
ence, Cologne and Qoblentz, recall the
'•-'eech made by Victor Hugo on March
1, 1871, before the National Assem
bly, a speech full of prophetic vision.
He said in part:
“From now on there will be in Eu
rope two dangerous nations: the one
becaure victorious', the other because
vanquished.
"Of these two nations one, the vic
troiou3, Germany, will gain an em
pire accompanied by servitude, a milii
tary yoke, the bruishness of the bar
rack; military discipline to the very
soul a parliament tempered by incar
ceration of the speakers.
“The nation, the victorious nation,
wilt have an Emperor of military ma
nufacture, as well as by 'divine' right,
the Byzantine Caesar combined with
.he Germanic Caesar. The sabre will
be her sceptre; free speech will be
muzzled, free thought strangled, con
science on its knees, there will be no
free tribune, no free press. There
will be darkness.
*,The other, the vanquished nation]
himself, to be prepared for the naval
expansion movement, which took
j shape in 1898. they profited mainly
by the capital levy for the army on;
•he 2vc of the war.
In time the little town of Essen!
vew to the dimensions of a city_
:.r.-\ 'n many respects, a model city,;
for Krupps were good masters and|
J ri ><] the war it became even larger j
and more prosperous. The firm’s cap-,
ital was increased to $62,500,000, and
in the first year of the war the profits
reached $20,000,000.,
The e were many Indications in
Essen in that and the Imemdiately
following years that war, based on
confidence in victory, paid. Thou-;
sandr. of workers had to be imported
into Germany,to keep pace with the
'irm’s activities.
The hustle was at its height when 1
the whole bubble of “invincible Ger-'
, many’’ burst, and from the day when
t>e armistice was signed, the doom
sealed. Nothing could save the con-!
cern once militarism had been de-i
-ated.for the main strenqth of the!
Krupp organization was the belief
of the German people that force, well
organized and deftly employed, was
unconquerable.
