What might be termed Mara modern technique does not requiie a formal declaration of war armies ate mobilized, s soldiers and civilians are slaughtered, cities are devastated and governments change even while, officially speaking, actual war does not exist. In Italys Ethiopian campaign, for example, war was not declared but the result of the invasion was to eliminate the Ethiopian Monarchy and make the country into an Italian colony governed by the It ilian military. Russia and France have not declared war on the Spanish insurgents, nor have Germany and Italy broken off relations with the Spanish government yet it is no secret that Francos cause has been kept alive with the aid of German and Italian troops and equipment, while the government forces would have collapsed long since had it not been for Russian airplanes and armaments and French military eaperbs. Today in the Far East the world is again witnessing a war without the declaration of war that is of the utmost significance not wnly to the nations involved, but to the western world g, Is Training Neeessary? When we tell people who are unfamiliar with the navy that so many hours each day are allotted to drills of various kinds, they ask, why? The only answer is that by constant drill may each man be trained so that he will automatically do the right thing under stress of battle or other unusual emergency. It is not unusually difficult to train a gun crew to make high scores at target practice, but it's a much different matter when guns are being as well. fired in battle.

Nothing was seen of the David or her crew of five enlisted men and two officers until after the Civil War, when divers found the little submarine wedged in the hole made by the torpedo. Crude as the submarine was, it held the record for sinking a ship until 1914, the outbreak of the WotH V The Term Belligerent Belligerent is a term used in international war. In time of war between civilized nations, all those who are not neutral are called belligerents, and all are bound by certain international agreements. Belligerents, says London Answers Magazine, are expected to notify the existence of a state of war without delay to. neutral states, whose responsibilities as neutrals begin from the date fixed for the opening of hostilities. Acts of hostility must be confined to the armed Civilforces of the belligerents. ians of either belligerent must not be harmed unless they try to commit hostile acts, in which case they may be executed as war criminals. The whole conduct of both belligerents and neutrals is laid down by international codes. Unfortunately, when war does break out, the difficulty is to guarantee that these codes will be obeyed. , Taken by surprise while walking on deck, the chairman of the Cunard Lines suddenly found a microphone thrust before him and was asked to address the radio audience. He examined the instrument and went away without so much as whistling a theme song, rcpoits Robert Wilder. Its such things like that which give us faith in capitalism.
