Two Great Fleets Would Be
Necessary, One For the
North Sea and Another
For the Baltic.

VI INTERNATIONAL law as laid down
3 at The Hague peace court and
4 agreed to by the maritime powers
Of the world provides that block
ade in order to be binding must be ef-
fective. 1t must be maintained by suf-
fcient force to prevent access to the
enemy coast line.
England's blockade of Germany up
to the present time has not been effec-
tive. Commerce has been going on be-
tween Germany's Baltic ports and Swe-
den. Now Great Britain proposes to
make the blockade complete, effective
to patrol the Baltic with sufficient
Warships to prevent any neutral vessel
entering or leaving a German port.
Whether or not she can succeed in
doing this is merely matter of opin
ion, but there are many obstacles in
the way. First and Of greatest impor-
lance there is the Kiel canal. Ger
many has fleet in this canal second
in power to England's alone. It can
steam the sixty-one miles through the
canal and go from the North sea to the
Baltic in few hours, whereas it would
take an English feet couple Of days
to cruise around the northern shores Of
Denmark and go from one sea to the
other.

Blockades Always Important.

Blockades have always formed one
of the most interesting features of
wars. An effective blockade now ex-
lists in the Mediterranean and no ship
can enter Constantinople. The United
States esta blished and maintained an
effective blockade at Havana and Ma
Mia. But perhaps the most notable
blockade in all history was the action
of the federal government in establish
ing blockade Of the 200 ports in the
Confederac y's territory during our civil
war. The rules governing blockades
today were compiled largely from the
precedents established at that time.
In the sixties it was deemed impos-
sible to carry out such mammoth

have two fleets as strong or stronger
than the German navy, one in the
North sea and the other in the Baltic
sells that are now being used in the
Mediterranean and other naval thea
tiers Of war. .-..-s.-.z--
Should England send an inferior feet
to the BALTIC, Germany in all probable
ity would send her ships out and get
some action. Should the North sea
squadron be weakened in order to es-
tablish the blockade the kaiser would
probably send his ships out past Hell
gOland, and the naval action would
take place where Great Britain had
the smaller fleet. -
But it may be possible for the allies.
for Russia and France have good
many first class ships and would lend
valuable aid. 1t would take navy
larger than Amy power in, the world
possesses to erect barrier Of warships
along the entire German coast, and for
the blockade to be effective this would
be necessary. Unless it is done it is
doubtful if the embargo would be rec.
ognized by the neutral nations whose
commerce would be affected.
Among the possible solutions of the
problems now under consideration by
England is a scheme whereby neutral
governments would provide a naval
convoy through British waters for mer-
chant vessels carrying nencontra
band cargo, guaranteed as such by
the governments concerned. This, Of
course, is only partial solution, and
the difficulties of it are foreseen.
