WHAT THE cHEMuNd CASE
MEANS

This world Is conducting q wal
with modern implements, under
medieval restrictions. The means
Of destruction have been made Q
thousand times more effective, while
the conventions looking to protect
ing against excuses Of destruction
have not developed. II is condi.
tion, not a theory.
Under the old rules of warfare,
the American steamer Chemung
was destroyed by modern methods,
and will be paid for by Germany.
The ship was carrying contraband.
A German submarine cruiser over
took and captured her. Under the
ancient rules, the cruiser would
have taken the prize into a home
port If possible; IL impossible, would
have sunk her. the German govern
ment being liable to pay for her. The
difference between the old and the
new rules is simply that there was
no chance to take the vessel into
port and before a prize court; SO she
was sunk quite as a matter Of
course, and doubtless will be paid
for. The incident Is unlikely to &C.
rasion any serious diplomatic conse-
luences.
But II happens that on the same
