We have in this self-created, self-developing and self- forcing agency one of the two most powerful and beneficent instruments for the peace and progress of the world. The most important recent reforms effected in the laws of war are those of the Treaty of Paris (1856), the Treaty of Washington (1871), which settled the Alabama Claims, and the Brussels Declaration of 1874. The Treaty of Paris marks an era as having en- shrined certain principles. First, it abolished pri- vateering. Henceforth, ...war on the sea is confined to national warships, organized and manned by offi- 17 cers and men in the service of the State. Commerce is no longer subject to attack by private adventurers seeking spoil. Second, it ruled that a blockade to be recognized must be effective. Third, it established the doctrine that an enemy's goods in a neutral ship are free, except contraband. These were great steps forward. America declined to accept the first (in which, however, she has now concurred) unless private prop- erty was totally exempt on sea as on land, for which she has long contended, and which the powers, except Britain, have generally favored.
