...lecture to New York City's police. Dr. Sheehan sped back to the Fifth Avenue Surgery of Dr. J. Eastman Sheehan, which envious doctors say is the world's most gorgeous consultation establishment. There are two butlers, a general manager (Henry Osman), a secretary and blonde Hilda Krupp, the housekeeper who stands by all day so that at any moment the Doctor may have his whittled asparagus, hamburgers or sausages, toast, strawberry jam and tea. Hilda also presses his suits (25 at a time), rolls bandages, keeps everybody cheerful, including Henry who has most to do with...

Another day they went for a ride as far as Menton, alighted and strolled about two & two, discussing the affairs of Krupp, Schneider, Vickers, Skoda...

S. munitions makers were very small fry indeed compared to such vast purveyors of war materials as France's Comité des Forges and Schneider-Creusot, Germany's Krupp, Britain's Vickers-Armstrong, Czechoslovakia's Skoda. First companies called before Senator Nye's committee were Electric Boat Co. of Groton, Conn, (submarines) and Driggs Ordnance & Engineering Co. (antiaircraft guns). Those who expected to hear the cannons roar had to content themselves with a volley...
