International law up to date is rather like the English constitution, an un- written mass of precedents. There is no international code in the strict meaning of the term, and one of the objects of the society is to develop interest in the subject and secure the adoption of a we'll defined interna- tional standard The subject taken up at the initial meeting of the so- ciety was the long debated one of
 property rights on the high seas.
 Judge Advocate General Davis, Rear
 Admiral Stockton and number of
 other accomplished lawyers took part
 in the discussion. While no conclu- sion was reached, the concensus of opinion was that the cause of civili-
 zation would not be served to any great extent by an international con yention assuring the safety of pri-
 vate property on the high seas in time of war. It was pointed out
 that one nation could weaken an- other effectively by such a system Of
 depredations, cutting off her food
 supplies and crippling her manu- featuring interests without neces-
 sarily much bloodshed. The associ- ation held that this would tend to
 shorten the duration of war, and this being the case, it was good
 thing to leave this question alone.
