In these days, when half the world Is
watching Germany and wondering
what she will do next la the Way of
military expansion or aggression, the
Krupp works constitute the binge and
pivot on which Germany's military
strength turns. They are a constant
menace to her foes. It Is here that
militant Germany's Inventive genius
and productive power are concentrat
ed, and here is the birthplace of myr
iads of engines destined to deal out
death and destruction to those who
venture to thwart the Teuton will.
The Krupp works dominate the
whole of Essen, a town of about 300.-
000 Inhabitants. Situated In the cen
ter, close to the railway, they, together
with their attendant Institutions, cov
er an area of 600 acres.
Two thousand trucks and fifty loco
motives rush along these tracks 'dally,
conveying Germany's guns, armor
plates, ammunition and shells to Ger
man garrisons, forts, ports and harbors.
Six thousand tons of coal, coke and
briquets are poured dally Into the
huge creature's rapacious jaws. One
and a quarter million tons of fuel are
required annually to appease Its in'
satiable appetite.
Passes Hard to Get.
It will be plain to the most casual
observer that in such circumstances,
where Germany's future, prestige and
fate are concerned, it Is almost lmpos
aible for the foreigner to gain access
to the works.. Argus eyed Janitors,
semimllltary guards and trusty agents
have to be passed and perhaps outwit'
ted before the stranger can approach
the precincts of Krupp's.
To a great many persons the name of
Krupp implies only the vast gun and
armor plate factory at Essen. This
conception does not correspond to facts.
The Arm comprises, In addition to the
Essen factory, a huge shipbuilding yard
the Germania at Kiel, three coal
mines employing 10,000 men, iron ore
mines in Germany and Spain, three
huge smelting works at Engers, Neu-
wled and Sayn, the Gruson armor plate
works near Magdeburg,' the "Annen1
steel works at Annen, the "Frledrlch
Alfred" smelting works at Rhelnbau-
sen-Friemershelm and a shipping
wharf, with ocean going steamships, at
Rotterdam. Feb. 1 last there was a
total of 67,062 men employed at these
establishments, including 6,779 officials.
As a striking Instance of German en
ergy, tenacity of purpose and thor
oughness it is interesting to go hack to
the humble origin of the mighty con
cern.
Starting in 1810 in the small cottage
factory with six workmen, Frledrlch
Krupp began operations with the dog
ged purpose of achieving fame. Sac
rificing both resources and health to
the object in view, he bequeathed at
his death in 1826 nothing but a small
forge and his secret of making cruci
ble steel to his son Alfred, then four
teen years of age. How this lad, Im
bued by a similar spirit, converted as
If by magician's wand the little forge
into the huge works of. the present
day, works that have made his name
renowned in . every quarter of the
globe, is a matter of common knowl
edge .
Alfred Krupp died, and bis son,
Frledrlch 'Alfred Krupp, the friend of
the. kaiser, reigned In bis stead, con
tinuing the same victorious -path until
Nov. 22, 1902. when be followed his
fathers. After his death the works
passed into the hands of the eldest
daughter, Frauleln Bertha Krupp, the
richest woman In Europe, and were
converted into a company with a cap
ital of $46,000,000 on July 1. 1903.
Works Contain Many Wonders.
It is impossible for the onlntlated
visitor to gather anything but a fleet
tag Impression of the multifarious na
ture of the work carried on in the vast
establishment, and it would take weeks
to vtorr the slxty-flve different depart
ments that exist at Essen alone.
The famous steam hammer Fritz, tbe
giant of the, 100 steam hammers, Is
still at work In tbe establishment.
Fritz was constructed in 1860 by Al
fred Krupp at a cost of $500,000. At
that time Krupp's competitors regard
ed bis intention to set up the giant
hammer, which ' possesses a falling
weight of fifty tons, as a sign of in
cipient madness. Undeterred, Krupp
continued, and today, after Frits has
been at work for fifty years, he Is as
useful as ever.
In tbe armor plate department are
seen huge hydraulic presses, of which
there are no fewer than eighty-one In
tbe works and under which steel
blocks are pressed and squeezed until
compelled to assume tbe desired shape,
no matter bow large they may be.
A huge crucible steel block weighing
no less than eighty tons Is. placed un
der a 5.000 ton hydraulic press. After
being coaxed, handled and formed for
half an hour it emerges la the shape
of tbe gigantic shaft of an ocean
steamship, 150 feet long.
