Washington, March 19.?While the
united States government does not j
jnow as yet whether the allies in- j
end to maintain a legal blockade or |
|f propose to apply general rules or contraband
and non-contraband in enforcing
their embargo on commercial;
intercourse between Germany and
neutral countries, American naval of- ;
ficers and officials versed in international
law expressed the opinion today
that the indefinite limit prescribed?
"European waters, including t' e Med- J
iterranean"?might be construed as a
lppal arPM of migrations for a biockad
ing fleet.
Naval officers frankly admit that the
old form of blockade by warships close i
to an enemy's coast passed with the in- j
vestment of Santiago in the Spanish- j
American war. Accordingly, in ask- j
ing Great Britain and France for an j
exDlanation o.f their lecent declaration '
of an embargo the United States con- ,
cedes that fc.'.-e activity of submarines I
might make physically impossible a i
close blockade of an enemy coast and '
suggested uat if the declaration of.
the allies were to be construed as a
iegai DiocKaae, some ' raaius 01 aci
tiviry' be announced.
This principle of a "radius of action"
for a blockading fleet was dis- ,
cussed at the international naval con- j

For the first time in many years, social
clubs in several of the larger cities
of.the State are without liquor. I: 1 as
been felt for some years that it was
perfectly legitimate for clubs, that is. '
bona fide clubs to have lockers in
which a member could store anv liquor
i.
whicn- he might care to have. T< e
member had his lccker and carried a
key to it, and Dougnt nis own nquor or
beer as the case might be, brought it to
: ' e club and placed it in his own lock- i
er. The club porters served drinks to
members from taeir individual lockers,
and all Chose clubs which observe this
practice' never sold liquor across the
counter and only club members could
<rpf the benefit of the lockers. Thus the !
system grew over the State, especially j
in t1*:e larger cities, where the leading '
"business and professional men formed
the club membership.

Tile Tnited States naval war college

many under American uucunie uie
area of blockade was not limited, the
definition "of an area of operations
of a blockade, even it in such a manner
as to include a large range of

act of war. . . . and w- ile it is
undoubtedly an inconvenience and may ,
be a loss to neutral commerce to be !
excluded from the blockaded area, it:

is a recognized consequence of war.* |
I
The declaration of London and ail'
pre.ions expositions of international j
law specifically rule a, however, that)
"the blockading forces must not bar i
access to the pons or coasts of neu-;
trals." It is in t'.is point that the
British order in council, if intended j
to be a notification o: blockade, wo ... j
be, in the view of officials here, a J
laiion of previous rules. For v at !
reason further development of the j
British policy in specific cases is '
awaited with keen interest.

Gcv. Manning is determined to stamp i
out nil ani every form of? iolation o." j

'ina. T e governor has said that h? I
j
was not. responsible for the passage of ,

enforcement, and he proposes to do is
duty without fear and without favor, j
He is going to enforce the laws im-'
uartiallv. "letting the chips fall where!
hey lray."
It-is expectcj t" at wliere the mayors:
cf the cities fail to do t eir duty satisfactorily
to the governor in the matter
of law enforcement he will summons
the sheriffs of the counties and
put the matter up to them. It is believed
that in the case of Charleston
and Columbia a certain time will be
given for t' e local officials to enforce
the law, and in the event they fail the
governor will probably put the matter
up to the sheriffs, and if they fail he
wi'l very prooaDiy remove uueui <iuu
put men in their places who will enforce
t e laws. This is his announced
intention, it is known. The governor
will have nothing further to say for
publication over his plans for law entoicement,
but it is known that he is j
bending is energies to closing up the j
illegal liquor dealers throughout the j
State, and is olding tlie sheriffs espe- j
: cially accountable tor resuies. jus: i
what action lie will take in Charleston
is not known, but there is a general
impression in well informed circles
that the governor is ready to move
swiftly in t e matter and that his next
announcement will be through results

to show cause before him on
