(il'XS BY THE THOUSAND. j \ An Army of Men Busy in Krupp J i'a Works Xiglit aiul J>ay. To the rumors that the Krupp! : TJ. works at Essen are building 56-centimeter guns, has now been added aCl another?the claim that the same In plant is turning out 56-centimeter pieces, says a correspondent of the, 'e Associated Press. While it is hard j to believe this, it must be borne in ' *11 mine that a siege piece of 42-centi- an - - . !as meters, the existence of wliicli wasi w doubted before the war, has become , a convincing reality, as has also the r' jjp Austrian 30.5-centimeter piece, winch even after the outbreak of the war t0 was looked upon as the object of a I very interesting fable. To be sure a 30.5-centimeter 1 (about 12-inch) gun was not in it- * pr self a novelty. But that the Aus2TO trians would be able to make such s clS' a piece mobile for field purposes was ^ ' thought out of the question. The same process of reasoning was applied to the German 42-centimeter pa or 16 1-2-inch gun. A methematical t0 relation of cause and effect, in this instance, the ability of steel to with- ?p stand the shock of the propelling ex- . 11 plosion, and the weight which such ^ a machine of destruction would w c have, led to the conclusion that a 16 1-2-inch gun, while possible, could not be transported easily enough to . permit its use in the field. Never- ' theless, it was shown that, though the German 42-centimeter gun weighs m< about 36 tons, transportation diffi- s.w tio culties had been overcome largely with the aid of motor traction and other devices. mi SO] Since the increase in weight of a 56-centimeter, or 22-inch gun over 6X1 a 42-centimeter gun would not be t0J very great, and since the increase in a 60-centimeter or 23 1-2-inch gun po 311 over a 22-incher would be an almost 0 3 negligible quantity, the existence of i. TjC such pieces need not be doubted in tuis respect, n it is possiDie lu mu?c over ordinary roads and across soft fields a 26-ton piece, it is not unrea- X? sonable to expect that a gun weighing 35 tons would offer no new transportation problems." The case is one of increase in mctive power instead SC1 of new aspects in transportation. te' Xo attention need be paid to popu- ed lar rumors making the rounds in Germany that the new pieces are de- stl signed to bombard the English coast , from the coast of France. The ex- te' treme flight of the 16 1-2-inch shell mi has recently been given as about 12 er kilometers for the "krumbahn" or hi high trajectory pieces, and 16 kilo- wl meters for those having a flatter tb course. Since the increase in calibre st: from 16 1-2 to 23 1-2 does not necessarily mean a proportionate lengthening of the range, it is not at all an likely that the English coast cities E( opposite Calais and other channel of points will make the acquaintance of -e "Rrnmmorc" ->c thA fifirmaTlS have come to call their large siege pI pieces. The 56-om and 60-om pieces, pe should they actually exist, would find ep their uses, and these, as more or less well informed circles assert, would pe consist of arming some naval base on the channel which the Germans hope to establish during the course en of this war. It is maintained that ov Calais has been decided upon as the ag best locality for such a base, and en that is in a measure due to this. ^ There is an authentic report that in this establishment over 46,000 men are busy day and night turning c0 out war material. While a large per- ls centage of this force must be em- ye ployed in supplying current demands 10 of amunition for the field pieces and ag replacing losses in this arm, it is ac only reasonable to assume that this fo huge force could in part be employed be in the making of new and larger "Brummers." That the works are turning out new additions to the 42-om equipment is known, for only a few days ago six new pieces of this class were taken to the vicinity of ?< Antwerp, Legal Love.
