HUDSON MAXIM
WARNS COUNTRY
Of DANGER AHEAD
Any of Europe'S Great Ma
tons, When War Is Over,
VIII Have Millions of Train
ed Soldiers.

New Haven, Conn. Jan. 15.--Dan-
ger Of foreign aggression will con-
front the United States after the Eu-
ropean war, no matter which side
wins. Hudson Maxim. member of the
naval advisory board declared, in an
address before the chamber Of com
merce here tonight He made an APP
peal for larger army and navy. de-
claring that any OF the great foreign
nations now at war would have
available several millions of war-tried
veterans for trial at arms with us
When the great war is over
whichever side wins, there will be
sure to arise between the winners
and ourselves serious complications
to be adjusted Mr. Maxim said
Either Germany or England would
have navy far superior to our own
and. consequently, could not success
fully be opposed by our navy. our
enemy would be able to land upon
our shores at least quarter million
men inside Of month. and after
that continually bring reinforcements
at the rate Of $50, 900 month if they
should happen to be required. our
little. poorly equipped army would
not be able to offer resistance enough
to make a ripple in the line of the
enemies advance. Our army would
be just about one good days killing"
If the enemy landed at either New
York or Boston. the speaker said.
they would be able in two weeks to
capture the area in which the great
arsenals, navy yards and muniton
factories of the country are situated
Continuing, he said:
"There are two ways that are pro-
posed for our salvation. The way
that our army and navy men propose
and the way that every American who
has made a scientific study Of the
subject Of national defense proposes,
is adequately to prepare ourselves
with a navy big enough and powerful
enough successfully to stand against
any other navy in the world and an
army big enough and provided with
guns and ammunition enough to save
the country from the horror of de-
feat.
Adequate preparation made in
time Of peace not only insures the
safety of the country If war should
come, but also it equally nsures
against the coming of war History
has taught no surer lesson than that

enticement posted on the wall of ev-
