international law, is a power which has entered into an alliance with another power. A citizen or subject of one of the powers in alliance is sometimes called an ally; for example, the rule which renders it unlawful for a citizen of the United States to trade or carry on commerce with an enemy, also precludes an ally from similar intercourse.
