Missives Almost as Deadly as Their Own Mi iles—Some Rather Tart Criticisms, Is there anything In the invention and menufactur> of the engines and munitions o war which predisposes the inventor and manufacturer to belligerency? Tris is a question which is naturally eug- gested by the state of war which is at present existing between Hiram Maxim, the invento, among other things, of the femous Maxim gvn, and bis younger broth- er, Hudson Maxim, who is also responsiole for a numbe: of high explosives. He is the Joint inventcr, for one thing, of the Maxim- Schupphaus smokeless powder which is new used in our navy. _ , Readers of The Star will remember that scme time ago Hudson Maxim wrote to The Star and other American newspapers, as well as directly to the United States vvernment, offering his inventions and rvices absolutely free of charge, even for personal expenses, to build and erect cne 0 his torpedo guns for the defense of New York harbor, and also to build a fast cruiser and equip the same with gurs for throwing aerial torpedces, and tendering his services as well to serve on board in the present war. In a few newspapers, particularly in Eng- land, the credit for this offer was given to Hiram Maxim, but it seems that he did not appreciate the honor that was unintention- ally done him. He at once rushed into print disclaiming any responsibility for the offer and characterizing it as foolish, absurd and ridiculous. It was rot clear just why he should take so much umbrage at ihe take, but his younger brother now thin! that he has solved the problem, as the fol- lewing letter goes to show: Brother Against Brother. “To the Editor of The Evening Star: “My attention has been called to numer- ous disclaimers of Mr. Hiram S. Maxim, rhich have recently appeared in American newspapers, and which originally appeared In the Pall Mall Gazette of London May 5 last, under the head, ‘Hiram S. Maxim and Spain.’ Inclosed I send you my reply to the said disclaimer. As Hiram’s disclaim- ppears to hare been written to curry r with Spain for the benefit of his Spanish interests, as will be seen further on, I _hope that you wiil publish this letter, together wich the inclosed cutting from the Pall Mall Gazette, in the interest of what is right, wholly American and forever anti- Spanish. Hiram’s statement in his disclaimer that d the firm of Vicker’s Sons & Maxim e ennoyed with the fear that my claims ould be attributed to him, together with in statements made by him recently In London daily papers, will, I think, some light upon the purposes of his aimer, and which may be of interest to American public. n the London Daily Mail of April 19, 1898, Hiram s ‘Everything except shins Fe ‘d of us by one or both ve been requested by interested not to give information, but there are at liberty to communicate. ntities of ammunition and ull sorts of war material out too precise some facts I am Of the great qu of we have been selling to both governments, it would be easier to say what the orders placed in cur hands have not called for t what they ave.

Hiram’s Position.. “Hiram's statements that he belleves that it was the Cubans instead of the Spaniards who blew up the Maine, his sentiments ainst the war and his reference to the Cubans as half breeds expressed in the following sentence: don Globe of May 3 last, will enable intelli- gent Americans to reid between the lines of his disclaimers Hiram, ‘while deprecat- ing the interference (by the United States) on behalf of the Cubans,’ states that he S positive as to the cause of th> Maine aster,” and that the ‘most likely soli tion of the question’ is’ ‘that the mine ¥ probably fired by Cubans from a rowboat to embroil Spain with the United States,’ and he adds: ‘I shall never be got to be- lieve that the bulk of the hardheaded sen- sible American population really wants to mix itself up in foreign complications on account of a few thousand half breeds in Cuba." “He said in his disclaimer that he is a good and patriotic American, I am glad he said that. That he said it is evidence in his enmity to 2 it should not offered his servic charge to be used cop’ that it needed saying. Two of our brothers, ycurger than Hiram and older than I, the younger enlisting when only fifteen, gave up their lives in the service o? their country in the great American re- bellion. Hiram enlisted but was like Mark Twain's Innocents, who, when they saw Bedouins, all charged to the rear, fearing an attack from that quarter, Hiram arged over the line into Canada. Such patriotism resembles that of Artemus Ward, who said he would rather sacrifi relations than that one single be left out of the Union. Faithfully, “HUDSON MAXIM. The cutting from the Pall Mall Gazette, referred to by Mr. Maxim, is a long letter from him on the same subject, of which the following is an extract: Evident Jentousy. “It is not exaetly apparent in Hiram's disclaimer what it is that he characterizes as foolish, absurd and ridiculous. Is it the offer of services to the United States gov- ernment, or iw it that it is foolish, absurd and ridiculous that he should be connected with or be the author of a system of throw- ing aerial torpedoes? Let us examine this. Hiram has himself invented a torpedo gun for throwing high explosives. It has been built and fired. He employs an explosive mixture of compressed air and gasoline va- por. The projectile is started with the pressure of the gases, and after it has moved a certain distance along the bore of the gun, the explosive mixture is fired, giv- ing the projectile an extra push. Hiram has also proposed to drop aerial torpedoes on warships, fortifications and towns from a flying machine; but after expending a large amount of money the longest flight that his machine ever made was when it broke loose from the rails on which it was confined, and flew about as far as a loco- motive would under the same circum- stances. “As a counter to my proposition to the United States government, Hiram has of- fered his advice {ree of charge, and recs ommends the pouring of oil upon the troubled waters in the event of New York being attacked, and setting fire to the oil. There are, however, too many American citizens who are offering something more substantial than advice, and who intend that the Spaniards shall not get near enough to New York to permit of the appli- cation of Hiram’s remedy. As I have been engaged in business relating to war ma- terial for about nine years, a portion of which time I was with the Pneumatic Dy- namite Gun Company of New York, and afterward with a torpedo gun company es- specially organized for w&rking my inyen- tions in America, and am now engaged in negotiations with several governments for the supply of torpedo guns and aerial tor- pedoes, the statement that Mr. Hiram 8. Maxim is the only Maxim in any way con- nected with gun-making is_ manifestly in- correct. When we duly weigh the merit of the gasoline pneumatic gun and of the flying machine armed with torpedoes, and his suggestion of burning greased water as a means of coast defense, and compare them with the system proposed by me, it is hard to imagine why Hiram should be so vehement in his indignation that my sys- tem should be attributed to him.” ——o+___ Decree of Divorce.

E. Church, known as those of the north and the south, are preparing to inaugurate a new movement,” said’a leading preacher of that denomination to a Star reperter. “It is, however, no &xperiment,” he con- tinued, “since it has already been tried in this country and Canada, and has been found most successful. It has for its ob- ject: 1. The organization of a strong mis- sionary committee in every chapter of the Epworth League. 2. Placing of a mission- ary Mbrary in every chapter of the Epworth League. 3. The organization of a mission study class wherever possible. 4. Securing of signatures to .a ‘systematic giving’ dge card. “If one would understand the movement he must ‘remember three facts: 1, The fall- ing off of the misstonary contributions of the church, making it necessary for secre- taries of the board to expend much time and energy, not in working for the world’s evangelization, but in raising the mission- ary debt. As a result the board must not only refuse to send out the well-equipped workers, but must in many cases retrench, and even recall the workers now in the field. The pent-up enthusiasm of the 650,000 Epworth Leaguers, if rightly direct- ed, would carry forward the mightiest mis- ionary propaganda the church has ever seen. Yet it must be remembered that the members of the Epworth League are today doing nothing, or next to nothing, in tie way of systematic giving for foreign mis- sions. There are in the college of Method- ism about 400 young men and women who have volunteered to go as foreign mission- aries under our mission board. There are, in addition, hundrads of students who, not feeling called to go, desire to send those wom God has called. The Missionary Debt. “The church faces a missionary debt. She has in reserve an army of young peo- ple, carefully organized and well equipped. Hundreds of the brightest students in Meth- odism—West Pointers—are ready to lead the forces. It is not strange. then, that the general binet of the Epworth League, through ‘Vice President William I. Haven, has issued ‘marching orders.’ “Only those students are appointed mem- bers of the students’ missionary campaign who are indorsed by the presidents of their institutions, who agree to devote four weeks during the simmer to this work, and who have had adequate training. The studenis serve without compensation, other than their expenses. Each chapter of the league visited is expected to provide enter- tainment and its proportionate amount of traveling expense. It is expected that two days will be spent at each place visited, and it ts suggested that a young people rally be held the first night, and a churi rally the second night. The us. which is made of the campaign of course, left to the judgment of the pa tor, who knows best ‘what will encourage the church and the Epworth League in missionary work. however, Small Contributions, Large R if we remember that about $5,000,000 is the amount spent annually for foreign missious by the varlols American boards, the following figures may prove suggestive: 1, A postage stamp a week from each F, worth League member-would mean $1,¢ 000 per year for the twotld’s evangelization. 2. A penny a day from each leaguer would mean § 000 per year. 3. A postage stamp a week from eyery member of the inited Secteties of Christian Endeavor, the vorth League and the: Bantist Young People’s Union would mean about $5,300, 4. A penny a day from these three would give the enormous sum of $19,345, or enough to support 16,124 foreign mis. sionaries, each at‘ a salary of $1,200 per These last ‘firures “will bear a mo ment’s careful thought: ere geen CHESS PLAYING. Figures nnd Ideas About the Game That Are Interesting. From the Los Angeles Times, Chess has the reputation of being an in- tellectual game, and played {n moderation, {t is also a real recreation. An authority says of it that it recreates not somuch by way of amusement, properly termed, “as by taking possession of the mental facul- ties and diverting them from their accus- tomed grooves. Anyone who knows what it is to have a mind worried by business or harrassed by care of any description can understand the value of a pastime which can do that.” J. Arnold Green protests agaist the popular idea that it takes a lifetime to learn chess. As he puts it, a lifetime is in reality much too short’ to learn the game perfectly, but, fortunately, perfection is not necessary for enjoyment in any waik of life. The moves can be easily grasped in half an hour, and after a week's practice any intelligent learner will be able to play a game good enough to afford him pleasure. “He will by that time also see something of the possibilities of the game, and if he be ambitious, his piay will improve by leaps and bounds. Count- less hours of the keenest enjoyment are then in store for him, and happy indeed is the man who can find his recreation in the finest and most intellectual of games.” One unquestionable recommendation of the game fs its infinite variety. It has been computed that there are 318,979,564,000 pos- sible ways of playing the first four moves on each side. A calculation as to the num- ber of ways of playing the first ten moves on either side, less than one-third of an ordinary game, yields a modest total of thirty figures, which would convey noth- ing but bewilderment to the average mind. To further suggest their signifi- cance, Mr. Green says: “Taking the pop- ulation of the worid twenty years ago as 1,483,000,000, more than 217,000,000,000 of years would be needed to go through them all, even if every man, woman and child on the face of the globe played without cessation at the rate of one set of ten moves per minute. Further comment on the inexhaustibility of the game is super- fluous.” A great many international matches are now played by cable. A wire connected with the cable is brought into the room where the players are seated. Each player declares his move as he makes it on his board, and this move is forthwith transmitted and made known to the op- posing player, who may be on the other side of the world, on whose board a cor- responding move is made. So rapid is the transmission of the moves that on one oc- casion during a late match between Ameri- ca and Englgnd, «ét-more than fifty-five seconds were necessary)for cabling a move and its reply. For shorter distances the telephone is a favarite means of transmit- ting moves. In a Tecent match between the City of Londor’€Iu and the Yorkshire Association, whosé“headquarters were at Leeds, telephone i eonnection was made with both club héuses: Tossing for the move caused mich’ ‘amusement. “You call,” said London.’ Heéads!"" came the re- ply from Leeds. But it was tails. ‘Are you quite sure?” said ‘Leeds. “Yes; your umpire was looking,” ‘was the reply. As the evening wore on a band began playing in the vicinity of ° t! Yorkshire club, whereupon a pronipt“request went over the wire from London’to have the music stopped. This was done, and the London players showed thir appreciation of the courtesy by winning“thg match. A Home Conimentary. #rom the London Dally News. A little story that appeared not long ago in a Spanish comic paper is sent to us by @ correspondent to show how Spaniards thought of their navy before the present events. A Spanish admiral, touching at some foreign port, in the natural course of events calls on the governor of the local fort, and on the return call the governor sees the one little gin of the Spanish man- of-war run out to fire a_return salute; but at the critical moment. the. ish ad- miral. rushes up a2. throws the gun, cal @ and’ aH, into the sea. “What!” exclaims the distinguished visitor. “Why do you throw your government’s guns overboard?” “Because,” replies the ad- miral, “if the gun had gone off it would have blown this whole ship to. pieces! That means «nother decoration for me!” “How's that?” “For my courage in saving this ship from destruction.” More June Specials for Saturday.
