Note 83 — Chapter I · ON WAR IN GENERAL

The United States of America (see above, vol. I. § 32), published on June 27, 1900, a body of rules for the use of her navy under the title The Laws and Usages of War on Sea—the so-called "United States Naval War Code." This code, although withdrawn on February 4, 1904, will undoubtedly be the starting-point of a movement for a Naval War Code to be generally agreed upon by the Powers. See below, § 179.
