carried before II becomes a war
~vesself Who is to decide this
question? If it can carry one
cannon, can it carry ten? Who
is to decide the size Of the cam
non it can carry?
Is the submarine to wait un.
til hit by the shot from the
merchantmen before it can re-
ply. In case the United States
gets into the wal with some
European country must the
commander Of one of our YES
sells wait until he has received
the broad side of an armed
merchant man before he can re-
ply. Is this the position for the
United States with its large
coast line, which must be de.
tended BY its navy to take?
Should not the United States
rather than any other country
stand for the right of war ves-
sci to act when the occasion
requires without delay more
that the law Of nations actual
ly demands. 1t is certainly the
duty Of a nation to protect as
far as possible its sailors and
not submit them to unnecessary
danger, as it would do if it re-
quired that they could not de-
fend themselves or attack when
in the presence of danger until
after the other Belligerant has
acted.
II as was stated by the State
department OF the United States
on January l8., 1916, in speak
ing OF the armament Of mer-
chant ship By small caliber
guns, that any such ornaments
Of merchant vessels now might
be regarded as offensive arma.
ment," they would certainly be
subject to attack without notice
if the war vessel of another
Belligerent saw fit to re-
gard it as an offensive arma-
ment.
When the Alabama was de.
stroying commerce and arrived
at Cape Town followed by the
Tuscaloosa a prize. Though the
Tuscaloosa had never been con,
demned and still had on her
cargo Of wool and only two
guns, insufficient for any service
other than that of slight de.
Tense, she was admitted and
treated as a man-of.war.
As International Law is has
ed on and consists Of, prece.
dents that are SO numerous as
to have become a custom, or Of
any agreement by practically
all civilized nations, and it il
practically conceded there il
no precedent for requiring the
giving Of notice to an armed
merchantmen before attack
and the requirements by agree
ment being at the most extreme.
~ vogue: Why should the
United States undertake to
force this extreme construc.
tion2 While it is clearly the
duty Of every American citizen
when the country is involved tc
support il, it is also the duty
OF the country to act fairly and
honestly, without fear and favor
Belligerent's prior
there to.

The Question Of Warning Before Attack


From an essay by Mr.. M. G
Norton Of Cleveland, O, on the
U-boot question, we are
pleased to quote the following
parts:
The question as to the right
Of an armed vessel of a Belli-
gerent to notice prior to attack
is an important one. It must
be conceded that notice vas
never given in any war that has
ever taken place between Eng
land and France, England and
Spain, France and Spain, France
and Germany, the United States
and England, or the United
States and the Southern Con-
federacy. That there is no pre-
cedent that would require il,
that it was never considered by
any nation prior to October 49,,
1907, that such notice was re-
CURED. If it is now required it
is solely by reason that the
proceedings Of the Hague tri-
bunal of October H., 1907, re-
quire such notice. 1t is said
to be based on the following
resolution:
Convention relative to the
conversion Of merchant ships
into warships:
BY His Majesty,
The German Emperor,
King Of Prussia, etc.
"a merchant ship converted
into a warship cannot have the
rights and duties accrueing to
such vessel unless il is placed
under the direct authority, inn
mediate control and RESPONSE
bility of the power whose flag
it flies.
"The crew must be subject to
military discipline.
Every merchant ship con-
verted into warship must OBJ
serve in its operations the laws
and customs of war;"
This resolution was intro
iuced and passed for the bene-
lit of the converted merchant
ships and to give to them the
right Of war ships so that they
would stand in the same posi-
ton IS war ships relative to
clearances, prizes, etc. There
does not seem to be a word in
the resolution that notice was
required before being attacked.
The resolution was not for the
purpose Of giving a greater
right to the boat as a merchant
ship, but it was solely for the
giving to it the right of a war
ship. Had there been any in
tention Of changing the entire
law then existing relative to
armed merchants Of Bellinger-
ents, it would seem that if
would have been so expressed
as to remove any question as
to the meaning. 1t is admitted
that merchant vessels are being
armed for a purposes and it IS
said for protection. but in fact
it is well known that the yes
sells Of the BelIigerents are
engaged in aiding Belligerents
