 | | The acts attributed to the military authority of the country may have taken place during peace; in that case there is reason for an indemnity, regulated in France, for instance, according to the law of eminent domain (May 3, 1841). |
 | | In time of war, when the enemy is still at a certain distance and preparations are made to meet him, the decree of Aug. 10, 1853, article 38, admits rather a limited right to indemnity. |
 | | The state desired or allowed the war, and as the damage is the natural or inevitable result thereof, there is nothing unforeseen in it. |
