Gun Maker Says Raids Show What
Germans Might Do
NEW YORK. Oct 9. "The coming of
the U-5S la a great stunt," said Hudson
"Maxim, Inventor and member of the Naval
Consulting Board, Inst night "but It will
not be able to cripple English activities.
To my mind, the principal significance of
the feat la as a warning as to what we
might expect If we should have war with
Germany 'or any other great European
power. It Germany can spare the energy
now to produce submarines of such power.
Imagine what she might be able to do tn
times of peace, with the Allies off her back
and more energy at her command.
"Of course, every time a ship carrying
munitions Is sunk England Is hurt in some
degree, but It does not seem to me that
Germany would be able to get enough sub
marines over here Inside of eighteen
months or so to do any appreciable dam
age. It must be remembered that a fish
ing pole 3000 miles long la a pretty long
pole. Furthermore, a submarine cannot
carry very many torpedoes, probably not
rnore than six or eight and when the boat
now operating around here uees up Its
available supply there Isn't anything for
It to do but go home. It lb extremely Im
possible that the craft can have a base
on this side of the Atlantic."

"Yes!" or "No!"
Mr. Hughes?
The foremost publicists and literary men of the United Slates,
on August first last, addressed you in the following open letter:
TO THE HON. CHARLES E. HUGHES:
The professional writers wlio sign this letter have small interest In
parties but a very deep interest in democracy. It is our hope, through this
voluntary association, to assist in the promotion of honest; educational dis
cussion in order that fundamental issues may not be decided in prejudice
and ignorance.
Mr. Wilson's beliefs have been expressed in law and in declared
policies. He has made an open record by which he may be judged. Wise
choice is not possible unless you, yourself, make equally specific statement
of purposes and convictions.
Without intent to offend, we feel justified in charging that in no
single public utterance have you filed a bona fide bill of particulars, nor
have you offered a single constructive suggestion.
Generalities are without value. Blanket criticism is worthless.
What we desire to know, what it is fair that the electorate should know,
are the exact details of your disagreement with President Wilson.
What has he done that you would not have done, and what has he
failed to do that you would have done or proposed to do? Honesty and
patriotism demand that you put yourself on record in such a manner as to
permit people to judge you as they are now able to judge President Wilson.
For example:
1 Would you have filed instant protest against the invasion of Belgium and backed up
that protest with the United States Navy?
2 It is arrant nonsense to. talk about action- that would have prevented the Lusi-
tania tragedy. The vague advertisement did not appear until shortly before the
hour of sailing. The occurrence was one of those things that civilization has made
the world regard as incredible. The only honest question is this: Would you
have made the disaster the subject of diplomatic negotiations or would you have
broken relations with Germany at ones?
3 Would you have urged upon Congress an embargo upon the shipment of munitions
to the allies?
4 Would you urge universal compulsory military service?
S You are frank in stating that; Huerta's morals were of no concern to America.
Does this mean that you would have recognized Huerta?
6 As matters stand today, would you be in favor of intervening in Mexico?
7 Does your attack upon the Wilson shipping bill mean that you are in favor of ship
subsidies?
i .
8 You speak enthusiastically of the rights of the worker. Does this imply that you
endorse the Clayton Antf-Trust Law and the Seaman's Bill? Or will you urge
their repeal?
9 What are your specific complaints against the Federal Reserve Law?
10 As Governor of New York, you opposed the Income Tax Amendment. Does this
antagonismpersist? Do you or do you not believe in paying for preparedness out
of a tax on inco'mes, inheritances and munitions?
We agree with you that it is a "critical period,' by jar too critical,
indeed, for candidates to talk in terms of office-seeking rather than in
the simple, earnest language of definite Americanism.
