Rules Of Warfare, Edwin D. Dickinson Nov 1921

Rules Of Warfare, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

Professor Dickinson anticipates the 1921 Conference of Washington on arms control and limitation in light of the recent world war and the special situations in the Far East. "War is abnormal, the negation of law and order, the exaltation of force..... This does not mean that codes of war law, so called, have no place or function ...."


League Of Nations And The Laws Of War, Ralph W. Aigler Jun 1921

League Of Nations And The Laws Of War, Ralph W. Aigler

Michigan Law Review

Everyone would agree that the renovation of international law presents a problem of commanding importance. Diversity of opinion is manifested, however, as soon as attention is directed to the details of the renovating process. Where to begin, what to emphasize, and how to go about it are questions which provoke a medley of discordant answers. Out of this medley a few paramount issues are beginning to emerge. One such issue concerns the so-called law of war. What shall be done about it? The World War revealed its lack of sanction, its confusion with self-interest, its chaotic uncertainty. Can it really …


Termination Of War, John M. Mathews Jun 1921

Termination Of War, John M. Mathews

Michigan Law Review

The termination of war must, at the outset, be distinguished Ifrom the termination of hostilities or actual warfare. As has been said, war is "not the mere employment of force, but the existence of the legal condition of things in which rights are or may be prosecuted by force. Thus, if two nations declare war one against the other, war exists, though no force whatever may as yet have been employed."' Similarly, it follows that, although actual hostilities have ceased, the status of war may continue until terminated in some regular way recognized by international law as sufficient for that …


The War With Germany: A Statistical Summary, Leonard P. Ayres Aug 1919

The War With Germany: A Statistical Summary, Leonard P. Ayres

United States Army: Publications

Includes a statistical summary of the larger steps in the military preparation and action of the United States in the First World War (United States involvement, April 6, 1917-November 11, 1918). The data presented were compiled by the several sections of the Statistics Branch of the General Staff. In the main they set forth facts taken from the reports made by the Branch each week during the war to the President, the Secretary of War, and to the Chief of Staff. These have been supplemented by facts and figures secured from the offices of the Statistics Branch maintained during the …


Retaliation And Neutral Rights, Hessel Edward Yntema May 1919

Retaliation And Neutral Rights, Hessel Edward Yntema

Michigan Law Review

The readjustment of international law to the ever-changing conditions of maritime warfare has always presented problems of extreme difficulty. Particularly is this the case, when, as in the Napoleonic wars and the recent European conflict, belligerents, falling back upon the exceptional plea of necessity, attempt to modify the rights of neutral powers to their own advantage or even to involve them in the conflict. A question of this character, namely, the extent to which a belligerent in pursuing retaliatory measures against 'alleged violations of international law by his opponent, may thereby abridge the admitted rights of neutrals, was raised in …

Martial Law And The English Constitution, Harold M. Bowman Dec 1916

Martial Law And The English Constitution, Harold M. Bowman

Michigan Law Review

On August 7th, 1914, three days after Great Britain had dedared war, a momentous statute, called the Deference of the Realm Act, was passed through the House of Commons with lightning speed, without a word of protest, in that spirit of decision and confidence which has marked the war measures of this Parliament.


Qualified Martial Law A Legislative Proposal, Henry Winthrop Ballantine Jan 1916

Qualified Martial Law A Legislative Proposal, Henry Winthrop Ballantine

Michigan Law Review

In considering the powers and liabilities of the military in dealing with the citizen, the question of what a subordinate is to do when confronted by a conflict between the law and military orders is a difficult and interesting one. Sections 15 and 16 of the Code (the draft of which is submitted herewith), deal with illegal orders. The general rule is that persons engaged in the military service of the state or nation can find no justification in the illegal orders of a superior officer if such orders are so manifestly illegal that a man of ordinary sense could …


International Law In War, Thomas Niemeyer Jan 1915

International Law In War, Thomas Niemeyer

Michigan Law Review

International Law in War and the International Law of War are two distinct things, and the fact that they are not carefully enough distinguished has been the source -in the present war of certain misunderstandings that are in no way unimportant.

Neutralization Of Belgium And The Doctrine Of Kriegsraison, Jesse S. Reeves Jan 1915

Neutralization Of Belgium And The Doctrine Of Kriegsraison, Jesse S. Reeves

Michigan Law Review

Anything which Professor Niemeyer has to say in the field of International Law is deserving of serious attention. Under his editorial supervision the ZEITSCHRIFT INTERNATIONALES RECHT has become a valuable factor in the development of International Law in Germany. The foregoing article, which recently appeared in the JURISTICHE WOCHENSCHRIFT, has been translated with his consent with a view to its publication in these pages. The leading thought of the article is to arrive at a justification of Germany's failure to observe the Treaty of London of 1839 from the point of view of International Law. He rests his case (1) …


Note And Comment, Edwin C. Goddard, Ralph W. Aigler, Robert L. Mayall, Charles A. Wagner, Hester E. Yntema Jun 1913

Note And Comment, Edwin C. Goddard, Ralph W. Aigler, Robert L. Mayall, Charles A. Wagner, Hester E. Yntema

Michigan Law Review

The Effect of the Carmack Amendment to the Hepburn Act Upon Limitation by Common Carrier of the Amount of their Liability - Two cases, decided by the Supreme Court of the United States on March 10, 1913, may be considered together. They are developments of the cases reviewed in II MICH. L. Rev. 460. Plaintiff shipped two boxes and a barrel of 'household goods" under an agreement that the goods, in case of loss, should be valued at $5 per hundred-weight. One box, weighing not over 200 pounds and actually worth $75, was lost. The Supreme Court of Arkansas affirmed …


International Arbitration, Joseph B. Moore May 1909

International Arbitration, Joseph B. Moore

Michigan Law Review

The history of the race whether considered as one of individuals or as nations has been one of struggle. Did one individual fancy another had done him a wrong, he proceeded to right that wrong himself by the exercise of force. From the day when Cain killed his brother Abel, for many centuries contests between individuals were settled, not as justice dictated, but by brute force. The result was a disorderly condition of society unfavorable to peaceful conditions. In the evolution of the race, when men differed, instead of attempting to settle their differences by force, tribunals were brought into …


The Work Of The Second Hague Conference, W. F. Dodd Feb 1908

The Work Of The Second Hague Conference, W. F. Dodd

Michigan Law Review

The second Hague Conference came to an end on October 18, 1907, after sitting for more than four months. In the popular mind the Conference has been dismissed as a failure. No sensational actions were taken, and the quiet and solid work of a group of international lawyers has had little attraction for the general public. It is, however, worth while to make a plain statement of what the Conference did and did not accomplish. The first Hague Conference in 1899 was essentially a peace conference. The question of partial disarmament was put at the head of the Russian program …

War Arbitration And Peace, William Perry Rogers Dec 1905

War Arbitration And Peace, William Perry Rogers

Michigan Law Review

In examining any question which pertains to the welfare of humanity there are two prominent view points from which to start. One is that of the individual being; the isolated man; the unit of society. The other is that of the mass of mankind; the people as a whole; the corporate organization of states and nations. There are those who believe in a God of nations. They believe He guides their destinies in perils of battle, and in great and dangerous emergencies; but they insist that He has little or nothing to do with the affairs of the individual. Conversely, …
