U. MUST FIGHT
 WINNER, SAYS HUDSON
 MAXIM, INVENTOR

Hudson Maxim, inventor of Maxi mite and various other explosives and one of Americas foremost opponents of preparedness for war;" was born in Orneville. Maine, 63 years ago to- day. He is the younger brother of Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim, the inven- tor of the Maxim gun and other dead ly devices, who is also native of the Pine Tree State, although since early manhood he has lived in England
 Hudson Maxim has vigorously op- posed the suggested nati tionalization of munition manufactures, declaring that it is the governments duty to encourage private manufacture. He denies the allegation that this gives an incentive to capitalists to encour- age warlike activities. His long as7 sociation with the makers of muni- tions leads him to assert that they stare among the staunchest of peace men. and they would no more be gull ty of promoting war to bring them selves business than a reputable sur- geon would be likely to string a cord across the street to trip up pedestrians and break their limbs in order to bring himself business" "
 While many prophets have pre- dicted that the United States would have to fight Germany if the Kaiser is victorious in the present struggle, the inventor goes further and suggests the probability that Uncle Sam will have to do battle with whoever wins the European conflict. He declares that a hostile army of hundred thousand men could make a landing in the vicinity of New York and, un- der present conditions, capture nearly all the American factories where pow der, cannon and rifles are made.
 .I for one do not care what the pacif1sts say,'' declared MT. Maxim. ''I am willing to be accused of work ing for national defense merely for personal profit. It is sufficient satis- faction to me to know that the ac- cusation is not true. I know that I am working for the good of my coun- try.'
 The fraternal relations of Hudson Maxim and his distinguished brother, Sir Hiram, have never been marked by great cordiality, and each vigor- ous1y denies the right of the other to claim the discovery of smokeless pow der.

Much Interest In
 Convention of High
 School Science Clubs

The Rensselaer, Polytechnic Insti- tute of Troy, N. Y., upon the invita- ton of the local high school authori- ties, has taken an active interest in the unique convention of High School Sci ence Clubs, which will be held in Troy, April 21st, and 22nd, at which dele gates will be present from the New England States, and New Y York, Penn syIvanfa and New Jersey.
 pr. Palmer c. Ricketts, president of the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute, said that it was believed by the facuI- ty of the Institute, that a convention of such clubs. was of more importance as tending to give high school stu dents proper concepts of college, than intersch plastic athletic meets and ex- pressed the hope that this, the first convention of it's kind, would meet with success, as being a step in the right direction.
 The members of the Troy high school science club will be the hosts of the convention and the program will include illustrated lectures, ad- dresses by scientists, and such trips as would be of interest to the visiting deIeRat0S.

MORGAN OFF TO FRANCE ON NEW
 LOANS PROJECT

New York, Feb. 3-J. P. Morgan sailed for Falmouth, Eng, last night on the Holland-American steamship Rotterdam, bound for Paris, to discuss with the RothschiIds and other French bankers the Notation in the United States of $100,0OO,0O0 to $2OO,0OO,O00 French loan, to be bas- ed on American securities of neutral governments which Parisian finan- ciers have been mobilizing on a plan similar to that in operation in Lon don under the supervision of the British Exchequer.
 MT Morgan's intended sailing had been kept quiet. A tug took him across the river to Hoboken, and he landed shortly after o'clock on the end of the pier where the Rotterdam was tied up.
 Surrounded by Detectives
 There pier detectives surrounded him and he walked, unobserved, to the gangp1ank without having to stand in line and have his passport examined, as did the other passen- gers. The Neutrality Squad em- pIoyees of Collector Malone's staff recognized MT. Morgan.
 Also on the liner and not on her passenger list was Benjamin Strong Jr., governor of the Federal Reserve Bank here. MT. Morgan's partners would not concede that the mission of the two financiers had any ob- ject in common. MT. Strong 1t was learned, will go to London ostensibly to look over the ground with a view to the ultimate establishment of an agency of the Federal Reserve bank there and actually thoroughly to familiarize himself with the financial situation with view to extending further credits to Great Britain. There will be no more public loans fIoated in this country, though.
 MT. Morgan will go to London from Falmouth for a brief stay before go- ing, to Paris, and it was said that with MT. Strong he will advise the Lon don banks that financial dealings here in the future must be banking transactions pure and simple, with securities as collateral.

London Paper Lauds
 Commander of Appam

London, Feb. s-The Daily Te1e- graph, commenting on the conduct of the captain of the Appam, says:
 stHe told the American pilot: We surrendered without offering any re- ssstance.' That act will jar on British ears. We do not like such incidents; but we must not forget that he had in his charge 400 human beings, and had he decided to fight with his one three-inch gun, what would have been the condemnation if the Ap2am had gone down? he action of Captain Harrison may not have been heroic after the manner of melidorarna, but, with the feelings common to our. race urging him to defend his ship he may, by his very surrender, have shown the highest form of patriotisru."I

OLD-TIME CAMPAIGNING.

We have boasted that the old-time
irrational methods Of campaigning
had about seen their best davs and
that We had entered upon an era
when the appeal Of the political spell
binder was 10 be to the brains Of men
and not 90 their projudices. Largely,
we Yet believe. this fashion will hold
good Boo the present campaign. al
though II is inevitable that there
should bc some exceptions. There are
some bitter partisans who do not
know how to present a logical argu-
mcnt and there are some hearers who
are more easily moved by bun
com be" than by facts. II IS with
feelings of regret, therefore, that We
find in the editorial columns ~ that
able and usually conscientious news
paper. the Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal n resort to this character Of
pie Of the straits to which our
friends the enemy, are driven O. dis
count the telling oratorical blows
that Mr. Hughes has been delivering
ON his cruss-country speaking tour.
There is not any attempt In the cdi-
toriN referred 90 20 muster up any
arguments or 90 invoke any truth. but
10 IS q cunning Misrepresentation Of
the Hughes arguments and a play on
words and an appeal 20 unreasoning
prejudice all the way through. We
are sorry the able editorial writer on
this great paper Is willing to prosti-
tue his talents In the production OF
such haIderdash. a species of cam
pairn literature that is reminiscent
OF the unprincipled struggles Of the
past and a style too far out Of date
90 reach the intelligent reader OF the
present day But yet we sympathi2e
with the writer. He had hard job
90 perform He had to make a good
showing with no foundation TO build
it on and so he wrote 20 tickle the
partisan reader and comfort his mis-
Eivings without any attempt 70 reach
his reasoning powers. Let us hope
that this is an exception that will not
be multiplied and that all will agree
20 fight this campaign out on a higher
plane
