He said that it might be difficult tor the average person to understand tbo reason lot tha hatred which tha Irish people feel 'for tha English government, a hatred ao Intense and personal that it would seem unreasonable to those who ara unacquainted with the history at the two. countries, but , which has been handed down from sire to son for centuries. The people of the sjvtllied world have been affected by the 'feporta from South African camps, where women aad children have died by hun dreds; they were shocked when the Brit ish, gorernment forced the sale of opium in China at the mouth of cannon, and came to the assistance of the famishing natives .'of India when the British would not come to their aid. though tha famine was one created by the removal of foodstuff from India to pay English taxes. All these crimes, he aald, accentuated by repetition from one generation to another, has been forced upon Ireland, and hardly one gen eration has passed in the country without experiencing some evidence of English hos tility, foalng men into Insurrection, as they did in Wexford by the unbridled 11 .rense of the British troops, and then pun ishing them unreasonably for the natural retults of tha action of the government; of priests proscribed and education prohib ited; of homes wrecked and treaties broken. All of this V the reason for the hatred of the English government by the Irish and their descendants. Only by Physical Force. Tha speaker declared that every con cession which had been granted to Ireland by tha British Parliament had been granted through tear of physical force, and that nothing but physical force would finally re sult In the freedom of tha country, illus trating his points by reference to the his tory of the laws. He told briefly tha his ,. tory of the Fenian uprising, which was the occasion of the death of the men whose execution waa commemorated at the meet ing, and the hopes and desires of the men at tha head of the Fenian movement of that day, Resalntlone Adopted. At the conclusion of his address resolu tions were adopted aa follows: Resolved. That the Clan-na-Gael of Omaha, and South Omaha, on this anni versary of the martyrdom of three of Ireland s gallant sons Allen, Larkln and u Iir.en again make public declaration of tblr principles, shared in by their breth in throughout this country and In lands toeyond the sea. Their principles are vnoee of a pcoplo who love liberty; who believe that Ireland Is destined to be an ind.'K-nunt nation, and that Its people are justined by the laws of Qod and the ex amples of men In winning that Independ ent by the sword. They do not believe that even a measure of legislative free dom can be secured by pleading to the Parliament of England, and they assert that no measure of Justice has ever been granted by that body to Ireland save through fear of physical force. They be lieve that mere constitutional agitation has tended to denationalise the people of Ireland and to lessen the high spirit ln polred by tha teachings of Tone, Emmet. Fitzgerald and the men of '48 and '7; that agitation ending In Westminster has led the world to believe that Ireland would be content to remain a part of the British empire, when the people are entitled to and we believe the true national demand Is for an Irish republic They believe there Is being awakened In Ireland the Fenian spirit, finding evidence In the great Interest aroused In the history, language and highest ideals of the race. They be lieve the aspirations of the race ara ap proved by the great body of the people of this country, who have demonstrated time and ag.iln their devotion to human rights and who have been taught by the history of Valley Forge and Yorktown, 3ettyburg and Appomattox that those rights must be won snd maintained by the sword. When snd how the Irish peo ple shall strike the blow must depend on their resdlnesa and capacity. We do not counsel man or premature action, but we ia counsel that the men there and the race throughout the world apeak boldly their beliefs, make preparations for ac tion, and be ready for the opportunity to itrlke the blow that will make Ireland a latlon amongst the nation of the earth. Resolved. That we, of the Irish race In Omaha and South Omaha, learn with pro found satisfaction that there la to be an Irish exhibit at the World's fair to be leld In St. lxmls In 1S04 an exhibit worthy jf the great history of tha race In art, literature, science and commercial pur suits. We believe that It will be of narked benefit to the people hero and in ireland, and wish It the utmost success.

There is a growing suspicion that County Commissioner Rich ard O'Keeffa of South Omaha Is trying to slip over into tha ranks of tha Dutch. He has appeared in tha board's chambers with his old gray hat deplsred by a Jaunty blue cap with black visor and cut on precisely the lines of Emperor William's. If neither injunction nor mandamus Is resorted to by tb sons of Erin their champion may be soon dropping tha prefix O from his last nama and tacking on some sort of krouty annex, making It Keeffenjammer, Keeffen feldt or Keeffensptel. Then rana mid der Irish! Two reasons are suspected of actuating O'Keeffa in changing tho style of his head gear. Ona la that be Is going In for ping pong and college sports this winter and proposes to dress accordingly. The other la that ha wishes to get la line with the majority at tha court house now, which majority ia supposed to bo German. The chief deputy in tha office of the elerk of tho district court Is German; the chief deputy la the sheriff's office is German; tho chief deputy In tha office ot reg ister of deeds is German; taf county treas urer aad tha county treasurer' chief deputy are German; tho county Judge's desk man is German; tho county clerk is German; at fir county commissioners two ara German; three will be if Lobeck should win, and four wilt be it O'Keeffa should persist in his present tendencies. Jailer Tom Flynn aad Deputy Jim Roach have taken to moving .about "side by each," declaring that it is no longer safe for an Irishman to venture alone into "the Dutch settlement." Amusements.

"There Is no king but Dodo," there are two jacks snd the rest are queens and ten spots. Raymond Hitchcock leads as jolly and comely a band of funmakera and Joy eus singers aa have come to Omaha In a long time "King Dodo" is one of our old friends, and his many melodious strains have been hummed and whistled and played on gramophones for the benefit of all who did not meet him personally on tha occasion of his visits last season. But this 'familiarity has not bred contempt; not by a jugful. On the contrary, his re turn waa tha signal tor assembling what the box office report shows to be the big gest Sunday evening house ever gathered at tho Boyd theater, what a close personal inspection revealed to be a body composed ot people not ordinarily seen at the the ater on Sunday evening and what the com pany found to be one of the most enthusi astically appreciative audiences it ever sang for. All the favorite numbers were encored sgsln and again, and the repetition of one or the other ceased only when the director Insisted on going ahead with the performance. For example, "The Tale of the Bumblebee" was sung and sung again, and whistled and sung and sung and whis tled, aad still the demand wss for more. It was never given with better effect. All tho soloists were well received and acquit ted themselves remarkably well. Mr. Hitchcock Is extremely funny and his as sistants are worthy of him. Miss McKln ney had a very trying evening. As ah was going Into the theater she made a misstep snd sprained her left ankle so se verely as to require a surgeon's care, but she went through the performance In spite of the pain, although she could not forego the slight limp. "King Dodo" will be given this evening and tomorrow evening, with a special mat inee on Tuesday. At tho Crelghtoa-Orpheaaa. Two very large audiences assembled at the Crelghton-Orpheum yesterday to wit- nesa one of the best balanced bills that has been given at that house this season. It presents a variety that should offer a little something to please everybody, ao matter what their tastes. Out ot the lot of good things it is a little hard to say what la best, but very likely tho palm should be given to Klein, Ott Brothers and Nicker son, the musicians. This quartet performs only on brsss Instruments and a chime. bat ita work la andoubtedly the best of the class that has been heard In Omaha this season, and the peer of any ever heard here. Their tarn waa very warmly ap plauded yesterday. Oaletti's trained mot keys are a decided novelty, and, consider ing tha fact that yesterday was the first time tho act was ever publicly presented. It went very smoothly sad was remarkably successful. Two ot the monkeys make a really creditable endeavor to play "Suwaaee River" and "Home. Sweet Home," on a calm. Others drive dogs la a mlnla ture race, and others do vsrlous comical tricks. Mr. and Mrs. Thorns and company present a laughable one-act comedy, "An Uptown Flat." which kept tha people In an uproar all the time It was going on Weston and Allen have a very good notion ot fun. and Allen's dancing Is exceUent. The three MUlettes do soma acrobaUc work and balancing that la clever. Miaa Leah Russell gives a monologue and sings some songs that do not tall to wla lasgater and applause.

INCREASE IN VOLUME OF ITS BUSINESS Report of the aperlatendeat Is Made ' a0ane Carinas aad later retina- Faets Aboat Mall that "trays. In his annual report to the Brat assist ant postmaster genersl, Dsvld T. Leib hardt, superintendent of the dead letter office, gives some Interesting ststietics of the work of that branch of the Postofllce department. He notes In his opening para graphs that the total receipts of mail mat ter of all classes at the dead letter office is , 300,311 pieces, an increase ot 793,094 pieces over last year, or 9.2 per cent. Of these receipts 7.8S4.187 pieces were treated by the "opening" branch, that branch of the dead letter office to which the larger part ot the receipts of the office are sent, being letters and parcels generally trans mitted to what Is believed to be their destination before being sent to the office at Washington. Thero Is a branch known as the "unmailable" branch, to which are sent those letters and packages, which for various reasons are never sent from the office where they have been mailed to the place to which they are supposed to be addressed. The greater number of these unmailable. letters and packages originate through the failure of the sender to pay the proper amount ot postage. Under tho poVl laws first class matter bearing a two-cent stamp may be forwarded to its destination and the additional charges col lected from the receiver, but all other matter rauet be fully prepaid before It Is sent, and letters Intended for Mexico and Canada must also bo fully prepaid. When "unmailable" matter ot this class Is re ceived a notice to the party addressed Is sent, telling them that postage Is due and unless the deficient postage is received in a short time the matter Is sent to the dead letter office, from which place the person who mailed the letter Is notified and the package or letter sent to its des tination upon receipt ot postage. If there is a return address on the package tha sender is notified before the letter leaves the initial office and much time is spared. Money Branch of Work. The "money" branch ot the office Is where the greatest rare Is given and the utmost security Is thrown around receipts. To this branch go not only all letters contain ing money, but those containing valuable papers and documents. These letters when received are Indexed and are then returned to the office of their origin to be delivered to the senders It they can be identified, snd these senders are required to give a receipt, which Is entered upon the records, so that the disposition of the letters can be told at any time. In esse the letters are not delivered by the postmaster at the office of origin, they are returned to the dead-letter office and the real work of that department begins. The ietters are then carefully read for the first time for in formation as to the sender or the person addressed. The most remote clews are fol lowed up and often result In the delivery ot the letter and money, after ordinary means have failed. After all efforts to secure delivery have failed the letters are separated from the money, the cash being turned over to finance division of the third assistant postmaster general's office and deposited in the treasury. The money esn be reclaimed upon proper proof within four years, but after that cannot be secured without the action cf congress. During the last year $13,806.51 has been deposited In the treasury under this rule. "In this branch," says the superintend ent of the office, "more notably, perhaps, than elsewhere. Is attention attracted to the extensive and curious variety of fraud ulent schemes devised to tempt the cupidity of the public. And it is surprising to note with what success unreflecting cupidity and the too prevalent desire to get something for nothing are appealed to. The most transparent humbugs, and schemes so pal pably Impossible ot realization as to make credulity appear ridiculous, rarely fail to reap a substantial harvest tor their pro moters, until the government Intervenes and bars their traffic from the malls." Where Roadies Go. The "property" branch receives the mer chandise which has failed to be delivered. The articles here cover almost the entire range of human desires which are. small enough to pass through tha mails, ranging In value from diamond rings to tooth pow ders. Hero probably, the department se cures a lower percentage of success la returning matter thaa in any other for out ot 249,637 packages received, but 90,979 were returned to senders. To this depart ment, according to the report, come pack ages which are sent out by business con cerns to persons whose addresses have been secured from out-of-town directories, the value of the article being so small that the senders will not pay the pos tage required for their return. A large part ot the receipts of this branch comes In the shape of packages addressed to for eign countries, where no arrangement ex tats for their transmission, and many times, being addressed in foreign language, they are doubly hard to hsndls. . In the "foreign" branch are handled let ters originating in foreign countries, which cannot be delivered to the persons ad dressed In the United Ststes. This branch Is In communication with eighty-five postal administrations, not Including the United States postal agency at Shanghai. It re ceived last year 839,410 packagea and let ters of all kinds, an Increase of over 70,000 pieces over the preceding year, the larger number originating in Austria. Italy, Ger many and Rusaia. The largeat number ot employes are In the "returning" branch, where out of . 839, 000 pieoes. but few more than 1,000,000 were successfully returned. The "Inquiry" branch is that which Is most closely connected with the public, where applications for lost matter are re ceived and referred to the proper branch. During the yearS0,2S3 Inquiries were ra ce! red. aa Increase of over 1.400 over the preceding year. Hawaii and Forto Rico are under sepa rate branches of the office, deed letter of- nces having been estsblished on those islands since the United States assumed control, with gratifying results. Regelate of the OfBee. Postsge stamps undelivered after all at tempts and those received la payment of the transmission of dead letter are deatroyed, and last year. 14,415.61 in value were so destroyed. The total value ot undelivered money deposited and stamps destroyed dur ing ths year wss 118,451.09. The superintendent notes with interest the tact that of all ot ths deed letters received from the 75,924 offices n the United Statea about 60 per cent comes from ths 933 carrier offices In the country, the New York office sending nearly one-eighth ot the total receipts. Hs says that tks experience ot the office is against ths popu lar idea that the large receipts at ths deed letter office are due to faults ot tho sender of matter; that the larger part of the let ters resching the deed letter office are properly addressed and reach the office Intended. The reasons tor non-delivery are principally change of residence of ad dressees, sending to aa old address la the expectation that the Postofllce department will discover the present one, and the use of out-of-date directories by business houses. Of the total of more than 9,OOO.Ono pieces received about 5,648,000 were destroyed and over 1.500.000 were delivered to owners. Computation shows that the aversge cash receipts of the dead letter office from en closures in ordinary letters Is about $140 per day. In recent years the office has made a prac tice of turning over to charitable Institu tions magatinea and books which cannot be delivered to the persons addressed. Tho superintendent says thst this practice Is highly appreclsted by the Institutions desig nated by the postmaster general and has excellent results. Stilt Keeps I' ta.

'I took them and they did me so muck good I have used them ever since." Safe, reliable and gentle.

SAYS OREGON IS PROSPEROUS Governor's Seeretars- la Enthaslastlo Orer the Possibilities of Irrigation. ''The Interest of the Oregon public Is now centered In Irrigation," declared Wal ter Lyon, secretary to the governor of that state. In an Interview at the Merchants hotel. Mr. Lyon Is from 8alem, and had stopped over In Omaha on his trip to Kentucky, bis former home. Enthused over the projects and over the prospects of the Pacific strip, he declared: "The possibilities of irrigation In the eastern part of Oregon are almost unlim ited. About 400 delegates from different sections assembled In Portland last week and organized a state Irrigation associa tion, the purpose ot which Is to co-operate with the federal government in its efforts to reclaim arid land under the act ot the last congress. There Is now available for expenditure in Oregon under the federal act over $900,000 and the people of the stste hope to get the machinery of the federal government to work building reservoirs In the eastern portion of the state next spring. "The state has also taken advantage of the Carey act and has signed contracts ag gregating 140,000 acres to be reclaimed under the provisions of that law. A rail road la already headed toward the pro posed irrigated section of the state and the days of the Jack rabbit leading the coyote across the sage brush plains of Eastern Oregon are numbered. "With land to be had as low as 11.25 an acre and with the demonstration that land can be made worth 1200 per acre, the In crease In population by the opening ot the Lewis and Clark fair in 1905 Is going to challenge comparison with any state in the Union." The "times" In Oregon Mr. Lyon de scribes as "never better." He said: "When I left Portland the first of last week there were lined up - at the wharves In that city thirty-three ocean going vessels. There were half as many more down the river. The Columbia river from Portland to the sea seemed fairly alive with freighters. The carrying capac ity of the deep sea vessels flying colors on that river -last Monday must have been not less than 100,000 tons. And there la no less prosperity on the shore. Fairly good crops snd good prices have evglled during tho past year." ' A rjrnara-lat'a Advice. Mr. C. Lv Thompson, a druggist of Dan ville, Ind.. gives the following wholesome sdvlce to his customers: "If you should ever need a remedy for croup or whooping cough, get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It absolutely has no equal for the preven tion and cure of croup, and if taken In nme ana according to directions, it Is a most excellent remedy for whooping cough and all throat and lung troubles. I would recommend that a bottle of this medicine be kept In the home at all times, especially where there ore children in the fsmlly." DEFENDS CENSUS FIGURES Takes t'p and Analyses the Statement of the National Board of Trade. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. L. O. Powers, chief statistician for agriculture In the cen sus bureau, makes the following statement concerning the National Board of Trade re port, alleging the census figures ot farm acreage were grossly exaggerated. The most Important specifications under inai cnarge Drieny summarised constat of one general and seven specific Items as follows: (1) The census figures show 101 counties with farm lands reported enunl to nr in excess of surveyed lands surface of such counties. (I) For Ohio 19 per cent of the number of counties are shown to reoresent Hal ner cent or more of the entire surface in farm laiius. til) In Iowa 17 per cent. (4) in Kansas 12 per cent. (6) In Kentucky 9 per cent. (IS) In Missouri 9 per cent. (7) In Tennessee t per . cent. (8) In Indiana t per cent. Only two of the quoted statements can be substantiated as they stand In the re- fiort. Further, the committee In making ta report did not possess statistics "of surveyed land" for a single state. These assertions can be easily established, pro vided the committee will give to the pub lic the names and area of surveyed land of all the counties referred ta hv ih.m The statements of the committee with reierence to tne excess acreage In these fceven states are more In excess of the facts than they allege the farm acreage In such states to be In excess of the true farm area. Further, the so-called excess acreage actually reported by the census Is in harmony with the facts, aa a cursory examination of the same will demonstrate In prosecuting its investigations the committee never made one Inquiry of the chief atstletlclan In charge with reference to the alleged errors have passed in re view.

HOSPITAL MOVES TO BRAINERD BUILDING Xo Trace of Frank Roberts, (he Miss ! Cashier of Purine Express ompaar Fire and Police Board Talk. "What South Omaha needs." said an eastern Investor who was looking over the city Saturday and yesterday, "Is more paved streets. Your city engineer tells me that South Omaha has an area of six and one-half square miles, with a total mile age of streets of 103. Six miles are paved snd thirty-two miles are graded. The sc. all per centage of paved streets In a city of the Importance of South Omaha Is sur prising " A call upon the city engineer verified the figures of the visitor and this fact-goes to show that eastern people are keeping a close watch upon South Omaha. When this matter was brought to the at tention of a number of the members of the council last night in an Informal way It was agreed by all that South Omaha needs more paved streets. One councllmen said that it was the fault of the property owners that Improvements were not msdo more rapidly. The council, he said, stands ready and willing at any time to assist In forwarding Improvements suggested by owners of property. Another said: "The laying of pavement and the placing of permanent sidewalks will do much towards bringing our city to the attention of eastern investors. Prop erty owners do not like to lay brick or stone walks until a pavement has been laid and this in a measure accounts for the dilapidated condition of tho city's walks." It Is probable that this matter of pav ing may be agitated between now and spring and that efforts will be made to have petitions for paving circulated all over the city. Suggestions wero made that these streets be raved: Twenty-fifth street, north from L to D; M street from Twenty third street west to Twenty-sixth; Mis souri avenue, from Twentieth street east to Thirteenth street; Twenty-third street, from N street north to F street; Q street, from Thirty-third west to Thirty-ninth street; Q street, east from Twenty-fourth to Twentieth street, and D and E street", from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-sixth streets. It is also deemed necessary. In case the proposed general movement for paving goes through, to pave Railroad avenue to the county line. In this case the city will have to bear the expense, as It will in case the street on the south aide of tho postofflce building Is paved. The construc tion of the A. O. U. W. hall at Twenty fifth and M streets calls for a paved street j from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-sixth streets. The library board also wants M street paved from Twenty-fourth street east to Twenty-third street and so two districts on this small stretch may be needed. ' Councllmen tay that they do not favor the laying of any more sandstone pave ment. Instead, they think that asphalt and vitrified brick will serve better and will meet the approval of the people. However, property owners are given the privilege of designating the pavement desired. ' Moving; the Hospital. Arrangements are about completed for the moving of tho South Omaha hoepltal from Twenty-sixth and J streets to the Bralncrd building at Twenty-fourth and D streets. The removal will take place Tues day. Those In charge have arranged mat ters so that the patients now In the Insti tution will not be inconvenienced to any extent. In the Bralnerd building there Is a furnace and other modern Improvements and members of the Association hope to give better service than could possibly bo given In the old building. An effort was made to secure funds enough for the erec tion of a hospital, building here, but on account of lack of support this plan could not be carried out. On account of the ex pense caused by moving the association needs money snd will acknowledge any contributions through the press. Itoherts Still Missing;. Relatives of Frank Roberts, the missing cashier of the Pacific Express offlce here, said last night thst although the search still continues, no word has been received from the young man. The searchers are about baffled and do not know which way to turn. There seems to be no motive for the dlssppearance of Roberts and his friends and relatives cannot account for his silence. The intention is to keep up ths search. Fire aad Police Board. "This talk about a fire and police board for South Omaha," said a prominent poli tician last night, "Is all bosh. What does a city employing twenty-one policemen and ten firemen want of a commission. The salaries of the commission would more than pay for a couple of additional Ore- men and a policeman or two. The mayor Is competent to handle a force of the size employed In South Omaha. What la needed is a larger appropriation tor fire apparatus and more money for the police fund. If any request is made of the legislature this winter it will be to amend the charter so that both the fire and police departments may be enlarged." As far as can be learned there la no serious Intention ot asking the legislature to amend the charter so as to turn the control of the departments In question over to a commission. Magic City Gossip.

MADE LIFE OF WORKMEN COMFORTABLE Along; with His Socialistic Ideas the Great Manufacturer Was an Auto crat in Managing 111 Works. BERLIN, Nov. 23. The first assumption that Herr Krupp, the (treat Runmaker, whose death waa recorded yesterday, com mitted suicide is yielding to precise and abundant testimony to the contrary. Prof. Blnswang-r, a physician of the highest reputation, was In the apartment adjoin ing Herr Krupp's sleeping room when he was stricken on Sunday morning, and Dr. Pahl, Herr Krupp's family doctor, was also in the house. They summoned several other physicians, and It Is regarded as be ing beyond belief that all of them should bave connived at a concealment of tbu cause of death, which they ascribe to a stroke of apoplexy, iuduced, they sdd un officially, by mental excitement, from which Herr Krupp was suffering. Herr Krupp's medical history for sev eral years past Indicated that he was In delicate health. He was asthmatic, had a weak heart and was subject to fainting spells. He fell to the ground unconscious while In Genoa several years ago and again while at dinner at a hotel here eighteen months ago. He had been warned to avoid overfatigue and worry. He was at Ham burg Thursday last, and at the Hamburger hot It was observed that he was In a highly nervous condition and scarcely lo control of himself. His condition accounted for tlio presence of two physicians la the house at the time ot his death, one ot tbem being Prof. Blnswanger. Mrs. Krupp was sent for from Jena. 8b is suffering from a nervous malady, was brought to Essen la a special 'rati. arriving there this morning. The funeral has been fixed for Wednesday. Chancellor von Buelow, all the ministers and a great number of otbor officials, following the ex ample of the emperor, have telegraphed their condolences to the widow. Leaves Two Danajbters. Herr Krupp leaves two daughters, who are at school, one named Barbara, aged 17, and the second. Bertha, 15 years of age. Herr Krupp's favorite study was to think out schemes for Improving the well being of tho lower classes, whilch he applied practically to what are called "labor colo nies." He assented seemingly to most socialis tic principles except that hs held tight to the wage system, averring that ths wage- earners were not yet sufficiently developed or seltcontrolled to regulate for themselves a just division ot profits. It Is mentioned as an odd chance that a man who applied social reform ideas In so extensive a way should have been crushed by a social dem ocratic newspaper, which, however, re garded his measures to ameliorate the conditions of laborers as not touching the question ot economle Injustice. Herr Krupp's fsther started the system ot modern dwellings tor worklngmea as a matter of expediency, and Herr Krupp him self appears to have developed them from conviction and la accordance with his Ideals. He owned 6,460 dwellings, each to what ever group It belonged being constructed Within the Sw'Aisjrrsey f T n V T7T7 "V i V W 1 11 ST II V" f II Jersey 7Butterine is a wholesome, palatable, and attractive table food.

Each houso had a front yard in which were plots of ornamental garden ing, the outside coloring and the Interior decorations gavo a certain aesthetic unity, while there wasjilenty of space and light. Herr Krupp had also a variety of institu tions, wine of them rather singular, such as 'bachelors homes" and "widows' re treats." Besides convalescent hospitals and or phanages, he had a pension fund for bis employes amounting to $4,126,000.

Notwithstanding his benevolent Interests he was an autocrat in 'the managemcn of his concerns. He was almost unknown by sight to his workmen and rarely visited the works or his offices. He spent several months every year on the Island ot Capri and managed his gunworks, rolling mills, iron mines and shipyards by letters and telegrams. t'nlike his father, Herr Krupp took no In terest in the technical side of his business, yet in fifteen years be more than doubled the fortune which he Inherited. Since their foundation the Essen factories have turned out 41.000 pieces of artillery. Herr Krupp resented being called '-'The Cannon King" and he said that half of all the output of his works was civilizing products, such as rsilway, and ship material and structural steel.
