Not only so, but neutral merchant
men could be debarred from entrance
to German ports by blockade. a re-
cognized method of wal. In war, Ger
many would have to depend for all
that she drew from the sea in peace,
upon adjacent neutral ports such as
those of the Rhine, the mouth of which
is in Holland, whence by the stream
access is had to the interior of Ger
many. 1t is evident however, that
communication thus limited resembles
the sudden substitution of a single
track railroad for one of four. All
ships OF Germany and Britain, the two
chief carriers, are eliminated. and neu-
trails restricted not to mention that
the said neutrals are already largely
occupied in other commercial relations.
