July Creusot, the center of France's munitions works, where the output an iron torrent with which to deluge the central empires of Europe is said by a French cabinet officer to be passing all expectations, is the ject of today’s war geography bulletin | from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic which says “Like the famous Krupp works Germany, Le Creusot’s vast ordnance factories owe their origin to the or- nizing and inventive genius of one mily—the Schneiders. At tho out- by of the war the Schneider Iron Works employed more than 15,000 workmen and their great shops, cov- ering hundreds of acres of ground, were connected by a network of near- ly forty miles of railroad tracks. Since the war this plant has been enormously increased. “Le Creusot owes its importance in the manufacturing and foundry In- dustry to the fact that it is in the cen- ter of one of the richest coal and iron mining districts of France. The coal beds of this region were discov- ered in the 13th century but it was not until five hundred years later, in 1774, that the first iron works were estab- lishod. Sixty years later the Schneid- ers, Adolphe and Fugene, established their first workshops here, and the lit- tle hamlet formerly known as Char- bonniere, began to grow. In 1841 it was a town of 4,000 people; just be- fore the war there were 35,000 inhab- ftants, nearly half of whom were em- ployed in the armorplate factore the gun shops, the locomotive works, and the ordnance plants. It was one of the Schneiders, incidentally, who revolutionized warship armament In 1876. Up to that time the most pro- gressive natlons used wrought iron for protective armor on their ship: Schneider proved the superiority o teel in res er of projectiles. “Le Creusot is admirably with respect to the Irench frontier, for while it is not so far from the fir- ing line as to occasion undue delay in the transportation of munitfons, it sufficiently removed to be well bes the danger It is 135 m an airline, southwest of Belfort, tress of the first class on the front, and is 175 miles south of Ve dun.
