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

civilians. The modern conception of
war differs in this one essential from
the barbaric. Modern wars are only
between officially recognized armed
forces, not between armed soldiers.
By making British water war
zone" q number OF England's mer.
chant ships undoubtedly will be sunk
and some confusion will prevail but
the submarines cannot do more than
form paper blockade, which all ne,,.
trail nations, under International law,
are entitleG' to Ignore. There Is al
ways serious danger of a crisis with
neutral countries when a paper block
ade is attempted and this danger
must be greatly increased when it is
coupled with warfare on civilians.
The Germans, Of course. know the
risk that is being run. Their unpre-
cedented war move must, therefore,
have q meaning. The most probable
Interpretation Is that the Berlin CIV
ernment believes Germany cannot win
the war, and has adopted the deliber-
ate policy of doing all damage pos
sible to England before the inevitable
happens. Against the other belliger-
ents, the Germans feel they could sue
ceed, but the weight Of England
turns the balance against them. Hence
the bitter hatred of Great Britain in
Germany and hence the final effort to
infiict the utmost harm upon English
men, regardless of international law
and former rules Of warfare.

NEW YORK, Feb 5.-(11 a. M
Germany cannot maintain an effective
blockade Of the British Isles. 1t is as
impossible for the teutonic submarine
fleet to starve England into surrender
as for Zeppelins to terrorize England
into submission. The new German
declaration of war on British mer-
chantmen does not, in fact, proclaim
a blockade Instead, British waters
are pronounced a war zone which
is an indefinite term, not excluding
neutral shipping from the belligerent
ports, as a blockade would do.
A principle, therefore, is affirmed In
international law, quite without moo.
ern precedent. Germany, in effect.
announces she will treat all British
ghips in British waters as blockade
runners, although no blockade can be
established. A warship may sink a
Blockade runner without consideration
of the lives of the passengers or crew
under international law. Enemy mer-
,chantmen which are not blockade run
rars cannot be sunk unless provision
is made for saving life.
This is the humane precedent
which Germany now proclaims herself
free to break That England has de-
clared food imports into Germany con-
