Excerpt from Contraband and the War The fact that the neutral persons affected are to a large extent really innocent sufferers cannot be allowed to impair the efficacy of a belligerent's arms. This is particularly the case in the great war now raging, in which the gradual wearing down of Germany by the exercise of sea-power is indispensable for the self preservation of Great Britain and her Allies. They are engaged in a life-and-death struggle for everything they hold dear, and are therefore naturally entitled, while respecting and safeguarding neutral interests as much as possible, to use to the uttermost all legitimate means for the coercion of the enemy.

Excerpt from What Is Contraband of War and What Is Not: Comprising All the American and English Authorities on the Subject My work has been a simple one, namely, of arranging those decisions in their natural and proper order, and, when thus prepared, of squeezing out of them such further corollaries, inferences, axioms, deductions and maxims as they could be fairly made to yield; and by the aid of these, both as in themselves and in com bination with the original decisions, in solving all such other questions as presented themselves during the investigation of the subject. With What success it is for others to decide. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Law of Contraband of War In writing the following book my aim has been, after defining my subject, distinguishing it from allied topics and indicating the sources of the law of contraband, to trace the origin and development of the fundamental principles of that law and impartially to set forth the rules of which it consists as exemplified from time to time in the practice of the chief naval powers. I have endeavoured to avoid all discussion of what the law ought to be. No attempt has been made, for example, to discuss such questions as whether the non-prohibition of the export of arms from a neutral country is consistent with the restrictions imposed upon the building and equipping of warships for belligerents within neutral territory, or whether it would not be more consistent with the principle of non-intervention for the neutral government to abstain in both cases from all interference with the merely commercial activities of its subjects. Whichever way the law was settled, it would be almost certain, in the special circumstances of a particular case, to benefit one side more than the other. But the sole duty of a neutral state is impartially to observe the established rules and not to attempt in any way to equalize the inequality which the accident of the case works out.

Excerpt from Contraband: A Romance of the North Atlantic Carrington lived on Long Island, and I talked with him on the phone. There were to he twelve in the party, the names of two, who were former acquaint ances, alone being mentioned in our brief conversation. The yacht was lying at Tompkinsville, provisioned, and ready for the sea. I must be on board by three o'clock the following day, and he gave me quite explicit instruo tions as to the best mode of reaching the vessel. The remainder of the day was passed in calling upon cer tain old acquaintances in the city, and the reading of special newspaper editions, depicting the prospect of war in Europe. As Spain was in no way likely to become involved, I merely perused these reports with languid interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Neutral Merchant: In Relation to the Law of Contraband of War and Blockade Under the Order in Council of 11th March 1915 It is not customary, except in one clear case, for a neutral Government to insist that a belligerent should adopt, in medias res, its views of a question which does not involve any issue of peace or war to press on him, in medium bellum, a modification of his belligerent action which might cost him the victory. The clear case of exception 1s when, philosophy at fault, there are not two sides to the question, but one only, and that testified to by flagrant breaches of the laws of humanity and war. Everything else is fair fighting; and for a neutral Government, because its own commercial interests are affected, to insist on the adoption of its view of a debateable point, to persist that it is not debateable, to take action, in itself a violation of international law,1 savours of unneutral service. In the absence of suggestion of any thing but perfect good faith, in the face of much demonstrated care of the interests of its citizens, the abandonment by a neutral Government of the dispassionate attitude which neutrality re quires not merely heartens the enemy but must result in rendering him material assistance.

Excerpt from First Days Amongst the Contrabands While the Southern leaders were thus defending Slavery, and the mass of Southern people were trying to tighten their chains, many Northerners were hotly declaring that Slavery had nothing to do with the war, nor would the war touch the divine institution of slavery. At the same time F ree dom, like the soul of John Brown, was steadily marching on; Charles Sumner, that great champion for justice and humanity, said.

Excerpt from Mare Liberum: The Freedom of the Seas In the second place Britain proposed the total aboli tion of contraband, mainly because in modern warfare it is practically impossible to decide what are and what are not munitions of war. The result of this proposal, had it been adopted, would have been that neutral vessels would have been absolutely safe from confisca tion, as well as from destruction, in all cases except where they attempted to force an effective blockade. Even if they were engaged exclusively in carrying on trade for the enemy, they might lose the enemy cargoes, by the decision of a prize-court, but their ships would be safe. Germany showed herself as hostile to this restriction as to the others. She insisted upon the maintenance of contraband, that is to say, upon the maintenance of a pretext for destroying neutral vessels, and received here the support of America. Once more Britain was the advocate, Germany the enemy, of the removal of restrictions on neutral trade in time of war.
