Daniel Crawford and Sons for competition between the Frontiersmen and Farmers’ Union Rifle teams. The FarmersUnion A team has held it for two years.

The London “Chronicle” says that! everyone knows the part which Krupp’s plays in equipping Germany and her allies with munitions, but how many are aware that the money with which the great firm was placed on a sure foundation, if not actually founded, came from Birmingham ? Alfred Krupp came to Birmingham about 1840 with an introduction from Dr. Siemens to Messrs. Elkington and Mason, elec-tro-platers, the predecessors of the present firm of Elkington and Co. He opened to them a machine, which he had invented, for rolling metal “blanks” from which spoons and forks are made. Eventually he sold this to the firm for £lO,OOO. With the money thus acquired Krupp proceeded to Essen and laid the foundation of the great fortune he afterwards acquired. Private F. Gies, a trades-unionist of over twenty-five years, and who resigned his position as general secretary of the Federated. Ironworkers’ Association of Australia for the purpose of enlisting, has written a letter to Mr. A. R. Croft, at Sydney, from England, on the eve of going to the frdnt, the letter being received in Sydney yesterday. He says: “The English people idolize the Australians after Gallipoli and Pozieres and I tell you this country is worth fighting for. One feels proud to be a soldier and an Australian. There is not the industrial unrest here —the sound of the guns is too close. God help Australian industrialism should Germany win.”
