RULE OF THE SEAS.
FRENCH ADMIRAL'S VIEWS. (BI CABLE— PBESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received March 11th, 5.5 p.m.) PARIS, March 10.
No nation can bo mistress of the seas in future, argued the Trench Vice-Ad-miral Rayte at a luncheon at the American Club. While it was legitimate to repel attacks in coastal waters, the oceans belonged to nobody, not even the strongest. He expressed the opinion that in the case of conflict the seas would be controlled by neutrals, and crossed freely by belligerents flying neutralisation signals. Hostile acts or violations of neutrality would be treated as acts of piracy.
