mats of the friendly powers to care
for the interests of the respective gov
ernments. There should be no sequestration
or confiscation of private property
either in the United States or Ger
many,' although it may be taken for
use under certain circumstances. The
ninety-five or more German merchant
ships tied up in American ports since
-the beginning of the war may be used
by the United States, but the German
owners ultimately must be compen
sated. The ships scattered v fn the
ports of continental United States,
Porto Rico and the Pacific island
possesions, including the Philippines,
comprise some of the best known
ocean liners and aggregated 628,837
gross tons. Only in case of war is
there possibility of their being abso
lutely confiscated, and even then
such action is doubtful, for the
United States in the world court of
nations has been the leading expo
nent of the inviolability of private
jroperty. .
Mails Will Continue.
Mails will continue to move under
the Geneva convention and other ex
isting special conventions. There
has been no restriction upon the free
movement of travelers between the
two countries other than the fixed
, policy of the United States to issue
no passports to Americans wishing
to visit the war zone unless they have
pressing business there.
In fact, so far as individuals varc
concerned, the status remains prac
tically unchanged by a break'in diplo
matic relations. ,1
Prison Work Discontinued.
There is, however, one relation be
tween the United States and Ger
many wnicn ceases mruusn uiyiu
matic rupture. It is the humanitar
ian task of guarding the welfare of
soldiers in the prison camps of their
enemies and the care of German civ
ilians detained in the entente' coun
tries. This vast task which is being
performed by American diplomatic
representatives in England, in the
French camps in Africa and in the
Russian camps extending to ,the icy
water of.Siberia, will have to be con
fided to other hands. Likewise the
welfare of British, French, Russian
and other allied prisoners in Ger
many, Austria and Turkey will pass
Precedents for Action.
Precedent for the severance of
1 diplomatic relations is found in mod
ern history only between lesser neu
tral nations and first-class powers and
lesser ones. The United States sus
pended diplomatic relations with Mex
ico and only tecently were they re
sumed. It suspended diplomatic re
lations with Nicaragua when Zelaya
executed two Americans. When Job n
Quincy Adams was president, the
American charge-d'affaires at' Rio
Janeiro demanded his passports and
returned to the United States with
out instructions because he consid
ered unwarranted the capture of
American ships by Brazilian war ves
sels enforcing a blockade.
Great Britain suspended diplomatic
relations with Venezuela for ten years,
from 1887 to 1897, and suspended dip
lomatic relations with Serbia from
1003 to 1906, after murder of King
Alexander and Queen Draga.
Reprisals and Retaliation.
After the breaking of diplomatic
relations, comes the possibility of
other measures termed "nontmicable
modes of redress," which also are
"measures short of war." These
modes of redress may include reprisals,
retaliations, nonintercourse and dis
play of force, and still there may be
no state of war. )
Nonintercourse acts can be passed
by congress to stop commerce be
tween the United States and (Ger
many, but as the war already has put
the trade at a low ebb the effect will
be negligible. . v
Displays of Force.
Displays of force have been fre
quently used by the United States
and European powers to impress the
earnestness of their position. Writers
on international law class the allied
march to the relief of the legations
at Peking as a display of force short
of war. When all the measures short
of war have been exhausted or either
nation decides -to dispense with them
comes the eventuality war itself.
, More than 100 times since 1700
war has begun' before it was formally
declared. Only twelve times in the
216 years has war actually been de
clared before hostilities began.
' 'The latest notable instance was the
opening action of the Russo-Japanese
war, when Admiral Togo attacked a
Russian fleet. Russia complained of
a'surorise attack, but Japan pointed
out it had notified Russia it was
breaking oft diplomatic relations and
reserved the right to take "such in
dependent action as might be deemed
best" ,
The Hague convention of 1907 took
notice of the situation and adopted an
article making it necessary for a na
tion to declare war before beginning
hostilities.
It provided, however, that there
. might be an ultimatum with condi
tional declaration of war. In general
.-' practice, a declaration of war , has
come to be regarded more as a 'call
. to" arms than as a notification to a
prospective enemy. ;

jumped overboard and were drowned.
Its captatin died of heart failure. The
Gulflight did not sink and was towed
to port. The German government
acknowledged the attack as an acci
dent, expressed its regrets and prom
ised to pay damages.
Sinking of Lusitania.
The next attack was the one that
shocked the civilized world and
brought the United States' and Ger
many for the first time to the verge
of war. It was the destruction of
the Lusitania on May 7, 1915. Un
armed, with 1,257 ' passengers, of
whom 159 were Americans, and a
crew of 702, it was torpedoed with
out warning and sunk in twenty-three
minutes off Old Head of Kinsale as it
was nearing Liverpool. In all 1,198
lives were lost, of which 124 were
Americans, many, of them men of na
tional prominence. Everything
pointed to a pre-arranged German
plan to torpedo the ship. The Ger
man embassy published advertise
ments warning Americans in veiled
terms, and at the wharf a number of
prominent Americans received tele
grams warning them not to sail. It
has been charged that the German
ambassador, himself knew the, liner
was to be Sunk and that German offi
cials here counted its progress across
the ocean day by day, and as the
hour of its destruction drew near
they watched for the extra papers,
which they knew would announce its
destruction. The case passed into
diplomatic-negotiations which never
took final form. , '
Before this case passed from the
public mind a German submarine tor
pedoed another American ship the
Nebraskan without warning, May 25,
1915, south ot fastnet rock. ITie Nc
braskan's name was painted on the
sides in letters six feet high, but its
American flag had been hauled down
at darkness, as is-the custom at sea.
The Nebraskan reached port, dam
aged, but under its own steam, and no
one was injured. The German gov
ernment again promised 1 to pay
damages. -
