Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of the War, Vol. 2: Papers Read Before the Society in the Year 1916 The Grotius Society has now entered upon the second year of its activity, and has, it is hoped, established its position among societies devoted to the study of the Law of Nations. The war unhappily continues, and restoration to normal conditions of peace is at the present moment by no means within view. The first volume of the papers read before the Society was published, under the title Problems of the War, at the beginning Of last year, and had a gratifying circulation, and the present volume contains, with one exception, papers discussed by it since that date. The exception is the article on The Treatment of Alien Enemies, by Sir Ernest Satow, which, though read to members of the Society in 1915, was antecedent to our actual foundation. This article, moreover, as well as the one on War Crimes by Dr. Bellot, have already been published elsewhere by the authors, as mentioned above in the Preface. Nevertheless it has been thought proper to include them in the present volume, not only on account of their intrinsic merits, but as Strictly belonging to the Transactions of the Society.
