VICTORIES OWED TO MAXIM
Modern War Made Deadly Through
the Inventions of Quiet and Un-
pretentious Man of Science.

In the history of war Sir Hiram
Maxim's name will be handed down
as that of the man who was the first
to patent an automatic gun "a gun
with a single barrel that would load
and fire itself ever six hundred
times in a minute), the first to COM
bine nitroglycerin and guncotton in
a smokeless powder, the first to de-
sign and patent a delayed-action
fuse, large guns for throwing aeria;
torpedoes, and many other engines
of destruction. After the battle of
Omdurman Sir Edward Arnold
wrote: ON most of our wars it has
been the dash, the skill and the brav-
cry of our officers and men that have
won the day, but in this case the
battle was won by a quiet, scientific
gentleman living down in Kent"
When the kaiser was first shown
the Maxim gun, at the suggestion Of
Edward VII (then prince of Wales)
he declared, Sir Hiram tells us:
''That is the gun-there is no
other;;" and the inventor adds, 'since
which time vast numbers of Maxim
guns have been acquired by the Ger
man military and naval services"
How much happier would Europe be
today had his Teutonic majesty re-
marked, like Ii Hung Chang on the
pom-pom: "This gun fires altogether
too fast for China" or, like the king
of Denmark, who, on hearing that
it fired 913O worth of cartridges
lover four hundred) a minute, ex-
claimed: "That gun would bankrupt
my little kingdom in about two
hours. "-London Everyman.

Once An Irishman
 Always An Irishman,
 Sergt. John Fox Finds

Philadelphia, Dec. 11.-WhAn is an Irishmans not an Irishnan and does he ever become thoroughly American ized ?
 That is what First Sergeant John Fox, United States Marine Corps, re- tired after thirty years honorable ser vice with the colors, would like to know.
 Applying recently for a position as watohman at one of the large factories supplying ammunition to the Allies, Fox was told that the fact of his hav- ing been born in the Emerald Isle over half a century ago, barred him absolutely from such employment
 Fox's discharges show that he fought bravely at Guantanando, Cuba, in 1898! when a handful of United States Marines held in check thous- ands of Spaniards there, and estab- lished a naval base at that point, but his thirty years of excellent service with Uncle Sam's sea-soldiers counted for naught with the munit1on makers. tOnce an Irishman always an Irish man and we can't be too careful in the selection of our guards Fox was told.
 Fox. who says he is intensely Amer ican and absolutely neutral, cannot get their viewpoint, but isrz't worrying much. for Uncle Sam pays him $8O.0O a month retired pay.

LONDON FINANCIAL
 PAPERS SAY FRENCH
 LOAN IS ATTRACTIVE

London, Dec. 1.-The London if nanciaI papers point to the new French loan as the most attractive government security that has been IaunchedY since the beginning of the war. The price of 88 per cent. of the five per cent rents means a, yield of nearly 3-4 per cent. while the Eng fish or American investor. with the additional advantage of an unusual exchange rate, obtains a yield consit- erabIy higher.
 It is interesting to note in this con nection what happened to the French loans issued in connection with the F'ranco-Prussian war of 1870. 5f In spite of the fact that on that occa- sion France was defeated and was re- quired to pay heavy indemnity. the loans quickly rose to par The French loans of 1870 and 1872, bearing 5 per cent interest, were issued at 82.50 and S4.5O. By 1870 they were quoted in the market at as high, as 106, and they went on rising until 1880 they reached 5120.85, their highest. They were subsequently converted
