As to Declaration of War
There Is no set form for n declara
tion of war and it has even been ques
tioned whether u formal declaration
of any kind Is necessary. An Ameri
can writer on International war says:
"An act of hostility, unless it be done
In the urgency of self-preservation or
by way of reprisal, Is In Itself a full
declaration of Intention; any sort of
previous declaration therefore Is an
empty formality unless nn enemy must
bo given time nnd opportunity to put
himself In a state of defense, and It
Is needless to say that no one asserts
such a thing to he obligatory."
Formal declaration of war preceding
the beginning of hostilities wns more
common In ancient times and In the
middle ages than In modern times. In
vestigation has shown thnt of 113 wars
between 1700 nnd 1872 less than ten
showed declarations of war prior to
hostilities.
