USE OF MINES IN NAVAL WARFARE

The sinking of the British superdreadnaught,
far met by the British navy, and appears to have
been accomplished without violation of the rules
of warfare. Indications are that the ship was sent
TO the bottom either by German torpedo or by a
German mine. The vicinity of the disaster is said

part of the as are cannon the destruction they
bring is part of the game Yet it is well to remem

The Hague convention of 1907 reaffirmed the
right Of harmless navigation to be unmolested BY
hostiities, the right which the international law
of naval warfare had long before recognized If
bellgerent warship were to fire on harmless
neutral vessel the high seas, it would be guilty
of a violation of the rules of war and subject to
penalties. A floating mine has the same mission
as shell from a cannon and if it hits neutral

Among seven articles adopted by the Hague
