The formal call should be very brief This
formal call is mainly of ceremony, and
from ten to twenty minutes is a sufficient
length of time to prolong it. Do not continue
to call longer when conversation begins to lag

There is some reason to believe that har-

why make an exhibition of the meanness
of Pennsylvania factionalism right in the

does not measure up to the industrial genius
OF Pennsylvania.

phasizes one thing. If no more; that is, that
the war has failed to teach England what
defeat means. Admitting all the difficulties
under which England has labored. and con-
scious OF all the mistakes which he has him
self so ably attacked. Lord Northeliffe places
every confidence ON the bulldog nature Of

at the end of the first Balkan war, in which

two salient results. Turkey was eliminated

FEARS WAR With
JAPS MAY Come
Prof. Latane Tells Johns Hop
kins Alumni Preparedness
Should Be Made.
MAY FORM AN ALLIANCE
Believes Open Door to China and Ex-
clusion Might Cause Strife.
Baker Guest of Honor.

That war with Japan is a possibility
with which the United States should
reckon in its plans for preparedness, was
the opinion expressed last night by Prof.
John II. Latane, of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, at the smoker of the Washington
Alumni Association Of that university at
the Army and Navy Club.
He stated that while war with the
United States would not be to Japan's
economic interest, those interests did not
always govern nations in their foreign
relations.
There are two sources Of difference be-
tween the two powers, according to Prof.
Latane-the open door in China, which
he feels that we should maintain, and the
exclusion of the Japanese from our Pa
cific Coast which, in his opinion, is Bit
terly resented by them
He expressed the opinion that after the
close Of the present war. Japan could
form an alliance with some one of the
European powers, which, while keeping
the other nations OF Europe from COM
ing to our support, could lend her such
assistance that the United States would
find herself in difficult straits.
He said that following the war the
balance of power will be disturbed, and
that America will have to depend on her
own forces 10 support the Monroe Doc
trine.
He predicted that following the war
there will be two conferences, one at
which boundaries and territory and such
questions will be settled and in which we
will have a minor, II any part; and an
other to settle the great questions Of in
ternational law, in which America should
he represented. In his opinion. she then
should be strong enough to make her
voice effective.
Secretary OF War Baker. who is a grad
uate of Johns Hopkins of the class OF
1892, was the guest of honor. and gave a
brief reminiscence of his college expert
ences.
Photographs taken in Germany during
the present war were shown by DR.. Henry
IG. Boyer, medical director, u. S. n.

club: President, DR.. S. f. Forman; vice
president. DR.. George II. Heitmuller; sec

Trained Nurse Used Duffy's

colleagues with the statement that he
had successfully treated Diabetes
cases with whiskey. AS an abso-

of Nsuch an authoritative statement,
but declined for lack of proof. Here,
though, is real proof recently re-
ceived from a nurse who in years of
actual practice has found the use of

it is worth to the afflicted:

HUDSON MAXIM
ANSWERS FORD
Author of "Defenseless Amer
lea" Denies Charges Made
by Pacifst.
DEFENDS HIS MOTIVES
Inventor Says Book Was Written Be-
fore He Became Financially
Interested in Munitions.

Editor of the Washington Herald: In
view of the fact that you published
on May / a page advertisement by
Henry Ford, in which l was person
ally attacked and false accusatio
were made against me, I trust, as
matter of justice and fair play. that
you will print this letter in order to
allow me an opportunity of replying
to Mr.. Ford.
Henry Ford charges that I wrote
my book, "Defenseless America" for
the purpose of fostering my munitions
business and that The Battle Cry of
Peace" founded on my book. was ac-
tually munltion-selling scheme.
He makes the following remarks
about The Battle Cry of Peace:
Have you seen that awful moving
Did you shake with fear and trem-
Bile for your country's safety7
Did you know that others were
shaking at the same time, but with
laughter at your fear, and with joy
over the fat contracts your fear might
bring them?
''on the screen you were told that
the play was founded on the story of
Hudson Maxim's Defenseless Amer
ica.'"
You saw Mr. Maxim in the picture.
He was holding something aloft. 1t
was an instrument of warfare.
Now Mr.. Maxim was merely adver-
tising his wares and playing on your
fears to make a market for his goods.
Mr.. Maxim has something to SELL
war munitions"
Again. he charges in effect that when 1
lectured last fall in Kansas City and
the sale of Maxim munitions stock,
| and he calls attention to the fact
that St Louis paper mentioned the
appearance of certain advertisements for
Maxim munitions stock on the day Of
my lecture, and he refers to q reprint
of that announcement late in the New
York World.
! less America" was written during the
month of February. 1915. before had
| any idea whatsoever of becoming
financially interested in any munitions
| corporation. The book was written for
and at the request Of the publishers.
The Battle Cry of Peace was written
and most of the work done towards its
production before ! had ever thought of
the Maxim Munitions Corporation or had
| ever negotiated, with or even met the
persons who are mainly responsible for
bringing out that corporation. The
Maxim Corporation was not organized
until August 25, 1876 nearly six months
after I wrote "Defenseless America"
written Long Before.
THE Battle Cry of Peace" was written
by J. Stuart Blackton, president of the
| Vitagraph Company of America l sent
him a copy of my book, with my COM
pliments and he Immediately conceived
the idea of the motion picture, The
Battle Cry OF Peace" He wrote me,
I sending me a check. which he asked
me to accept as an initial Layment for
the privilege of picturizing my book, or
| founding his play upon my book, DE
fenseless America" and sent me a con-
| tract to sign under which l was to re-
ceive a certain percentage Of the pro-
fits that he might make on the produc-
ton. little later on he settled with me
! by making me a cash payment in lieu
of a royalty.

in war munitions, and there was abso-
luteiy no connection between the pro-
duction of that film and the munition
business. Commodore Blackton told me
that he had no idea that this country
was in such grave danger His patriotism
was very much stirred when he read the
facts which l gave, and he was actu-
ated far more by patriotic spirit and
sincere desire TO save this country
from the red hell of war than he was TO
make money from the production. New
ertheless that production has been
great money maker. for the reason that
1t has made a very unique and timely
appeal to the American people, and its
great success is warrant that the
American people still have left in them
lot OF the old spirit of &c, in spite of
the fact Of the fatuous propagandism of
the pacifsts.
No stock Then Issued.
Referring to the st. Louis incident, at
the time / spoke there no Maxim mu-
nitions stock had yet been issued or Of
fered for sale to the public, but the ad-
vertsements had been inserted by specu-
lative brokers entirely without warrant
or authority from the Maxim Munitions
Corporation. The advertisements were
for Maxim munitions stock as, when, and
II issued.
That fact alone is pretty good evidence
that the Maxim Munitions Corporation
was not responsible for their appearance
/ grant that II is possible that Henry
Ford may be sincere In his endeavor to
defeat the armed preparation of this
country against war. He may possibly
actually believe that IL he were to sue
| ceed 1t would insure the country against
war.
The mere fact that u he should sue
| ceed 1t would absolutely insure the COM
ing OF war and would bring upon this
| country a most frightful calamity, does
not impeach his sincerity. but It must
be granted also that even II sincere the

less an evil.
