Submarine Era Obsoletes Some International War Rules
The essay argues that the submarine era renders parts of international law like the Declaration of London obsolete. It recalls pre submarine practice of war where a merchant ship could be held up, contrasting it with the deadly modern underwater threat and the perilous fate of ship crews amid exploding boilers and sinking liners.

Wilson Note to Germany on Lusitania Crisis
The note, firm and clear, holds Germany to account without demanding an apology. It places blame on German pretense, demands reparations, and warns of safeguards for neutral rights. It aims to persuade Germany seriously, not bluff, and signals possible American restraint unless Germany concedes. The President and Cabinet seek swift, just action with no war unless needed.
