What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. I. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press

United Press Leased Wire Service.1
NEW YORK, March 3. (11 a. M
The principles of international la"
are being revised by the necessities
of the present war. The most far
reaching precedents limiting the rights
OF neutrals and the rights of non.
combatants are now being establish
ed. and 1t Is doubtful whether the
warning powers will consent to their
dis-establishment by future peace con-
crosses.
Rules of warfare, adopted in times
Iof peace, are not proving adequate to
develop all the strength Of a belliger-
ent nation. The consequences Of de-
feat to a great modern empire are so
that deliberate limita-
ton of hostile strength in peace time
agreements Is now seen to be a sin
against nations vital interests.
Humanitarian considerations probably
will not dominate international law in
the future Or rather, It will be main
tanned that humanitarianism is best
served by making war more ruthless
and hence, less likely to occur and
more quickly ended when it does oc-
cur.
One of the basic humanitarian prin-
ciples of modern war has been that
hostilities should be confined to the
officially designated fighting part u
the population and that civilians
should be immune from attack Th. s
rule, however, owes its acceptance. in
reality, not so much to humanitarian
ism, as to the belief that no important
advantage can be secured by waging
warfare on non-combatants; imme,,-

DUNKIRK, Feb. IL. tBy mail to
New York. Mrs. Mary Roberts

zine articles and books. landed here
one afternoon this week in search OF
war adventures. A few hours later,
before the feeling of the ships mo.

aeroplanes circled over her hotel and
dropped eighty bombs about her.
Here is her story:

vantage arises, the attitude of belliger-
ent nations toward civilians changes.
Germany and Great Britain are both
proving this to be a trait common to
the most highly civilized powers.
There is no reason in psychology or
history to doubt the law of all war;
r1or nations. 1t Is probable that franz
ers or the future International law
will take into consideration the fact
that as the world becomes moro
democratic, civilians with votes must
be held accountable for the declara-
tions Of war. This may be the last
great war in which a belligerent popu-
iation escapes personal risks because
1t doesn't wear uniforms 1t seems
certain that no nation hereafter will
limit its power to apply economic
pressure in war time by agreeing in
advance to permit food and raw ma
terials for manufacture to pass 10
civilian enemies.
Neutrals must suffer by these ap-
parenuy inevitable changes in war
methods. But 1t Is not improbable
that the statesmen will see in this
fact more practical move for unit
versal Teace than the adoption OF
academic resolutions at The Hague.
II neutrals know before hand how SER
iously war will effect them, they doubt
less will demand the right to be heard
in times of International crisis, al
though they may have no direct inter-
est in the immediate issues at stake
They also will bring threatening pow
er to bear on the disputants to accept
arbitration 1t seems, therefore that
another paradox may be included In
the Hegelian philosophy and war may
vanish by making it more war like.
