Krupps are credited with buying Poutiloff’s factory in St. Petersburg. The Russian Government adopted French artillery, and had guns constructed at Pontiloff’s, and if Krupps have acquired the factory, Germany becomes possessed of the secrets of the manufacture of French arms. The report has caused great excitement in Franco.

A sensation was caused when it was (reported that Krupps was negotiating for the purchase of the Poutiloff works at St. Petersburg, which possess French artillery models, and which the Russian Government has since adopted. The report is denied from Berlin and St. Petersburg, but French opinion is not reassured. It is possible the report is traceable to Vickers receiving a concession to establish extensive works at Tacritsyn.
