Hudson Maxim, inventor Of rapid
fire guns, and gun ailencers, author Of
aDefonsoless America and advocate
IL extreme military preparedness for
the United States, made the above
statement yesterday as he passed
through Chicago.
''Germany's mothers are only a COG
Fla The wonderfully feficlcnt machine
with which Che Teutonic allies have
been able TO surprise Che world" he
5aid, ''but the mother cog has been
one Of the most Important ones for
Germany
transcription the Thing.
German efficiency Is the greatest
Ifact chat future histories will relate
rhaf efficiency has been based pri-
marily On conscription universal mill
ltary service. lt makes for patriotism,
because we love those we serve.
"This war should bring home TO
America her pitiful lack Of defenses,
aud further stlll ought to convince
Chicago OF the important part it has
to play In the future development OF
our national defenses.
almost 30 per cent Of our munition
plants, shipbuildlng plants, navy
yards, and government store houses
are located within a radius of 200
miles around New York, where they
could be captured IN two weeks In
iensive campaign by a prepared, ef-
ficient enemy.
"Thcse plants which in time Of war
would have to feed the muscles oi our
Fighters, should be located around the
country IN all sections, SO TINT the loss
a any one section would not make "
Impossible for us 70 Keep up the fight
lchoauo Ideal Arsenal Center.
"Chicago, BY reason Of its wonder
ful rail and water communications is
one Of the logical centers for nation
wide chain Of arsenals, explosive
plants, cartridge factories, and store
houses. should say that Detroit
would rank next.
aThe history OF all wars is that q
nations dangers are as great as her
Weaknesses, and as great as the
temptation to plunder her. Regard
less Of condemnation, the undeniable
fact is that might is the only righ
that nations kn5w.
"The manufacture Of munitions for
other nations is helping us get pre-
pared. The new munition plants
which should be retained for our owr
use. are being paid for by other eoun-
tries.
Mobilzes Her Industries.
"The secret Of Germauy's success 4
the ability to mobilize her industries
which in my opinion IS far more im
portant than her ability to mnhii2a
her armies The efficiency Of the Z
operative system has been proved
Germany has encouraged her private
manufacturers Of munitions Wher
war came she was able to cali forth
the enormous personal resources and
wealth Of these industries.
"The pacifists claim that war is the
result Of Incorporation. The exact
opposite is true. None Of the other
nations were prepared. Germany was
the only one that had perfected her
plans Of preparation years in advance
Furthermore. Germany is spending an
of her money at home, which distantly
removes the prospects Of exhaustion.
When war came Germany had more
than 100000 machine guns on hand |
For. nine years she paid British arms |
companies royalty on COO machine |
guns a month. The English failed to
see the great use Of this weapon.
