Certainly the entrance of the subma-
rine as practical factor in war opera
tions calls for revision of the rules OF
war. A nations merchant ships have
always been subject to capture by the
enemy, whether that is in accord with
common sense or not. But an attack by
stealth by a submarine, sinking a mer
chant vessel without notice, killing non
combatsnts and perhaps citizens of neu'
tral countries, is something new in war,
fare, and comes pretty near piracy,
though only little worse than some OF
the things that have been done in this
war. But rules of war are after al
rather absurd things.
