By Hudson Maxim

TT has been a subject OF much wonder
that the Germans should have been
able to build in secret and keep a
secret their big howitzers until the present
war broke out. It is truly wonderful that
the Germans could have secretly made and
tested these big guns and learned that an
army equipped with them could laugh at
forts. Certain it is that the Germans did
have these guns. and that they knew be-
forehand that the forts of Liege and Namur
and the Notifications of Antwerp could
not hold against them.
The destruction which such projectiles
are capable Of doing when exploding In any
kind OF fertilization is something colossal.
These projectiles are veritable aerial tor
pedoes.
Germany's exclusive accomplishment OF
the great achievement was not due to the
fact that the idea originated with the Ger
mans. nor to the fact that they kept the
idea secret, for the idea did not originate
with the Germans. and It was no secret
when they utilized 1t.
In 1897 I delivered lecture before the
Royal United Service Institution Of Great
Britain. where / exhibited the design of a
cannon having a calibre OF twenty-four
inches and length Of sixteen calibres This
gun was Just half an inch larger than the
biggest German howitzer. The weight OF
the gun designed by me was forty-three
tons. The weight of the twenty-three-and-
alhalfInch German howitzer is forty-fve
tons The weight OF my torpedo projectile
was 200 pounds, and It was designed to
carry half ton of high explosive. It was
also provided with delay-aCtiOn fuse,
which would enable it to penetrate deep In
earthworks or through armorplate OF con-
siderable thickness before exploding.
The range Of the big German howitzer Is
said 10 be nine miles at maximum eleva-
ton. The calculated range Of the gun OF
my design was also nine miles at maximum
elevation.
The fact that my gun was designed for
the use OF multiperforated progressive
burning smokeless powder, whereby higher
velocities could be had with lower pres
sures than with other powder, enabled me
70 make my gun somewhat lighter. al
though longer, than the German howitzer.
The greater length OF my gun increased
materially the accuracy OF fire. There
fore, It will be seen that the big torpedo
gun designed by me and exhibited in 1897
seventeen years ago-resembles very
closely in weight, calibre and performance
the big German wenty-three-and-a-half-in
howitzer.
It has been rumored that the Germans

intend to mount their big howitzers on
comparatively small, inexpensive, but

These big howitzers. having a range al
most large enough to compass everything
within the horizon, would be able to shoot
almost as far as the eye could reach, and
although their high angle fire would not De
as accurate as the direct fire of the British
warships, still the size and expense Of war
ship targets would be also vastly greater
1t will be seen by referring to the accom-

ture above referred to, that anticipated
this very plan of the Germans more than
seventeen years ago.
The relative efficiency of the howitzer
boat versus the dreadnought may be esti-
mated as follows:
The dreadnought costs $4,000, 900, in ad-
