presented by the French and Brit ish ambassadors, informing the Unit ed States of this drastic step by the allies in reply to Germany's war zone proclamation The impression is gen eral in official quarters tonight that a strong protest will be made against the action of the allies which is re- garded as an unprecedented and mo- vel step.
 Officials pointed cut that in the re- prisals the belligerents are making toward each other there is the sim gular forgetfulness Of the fact that whatever might be the violations Of international custom, as between those countries at war. this could not affect the status of international rules as between the United States and the countries with which she is at peace.
 IT thze allies policy is enforced it will be no longer possible to ship cotton, manufactured articles and commodities hitherto of non-contra- band character from the United States to Germany directl yOr in- directly or from the latter country to supply dye stuf's and other mer- chandise for consumption in this country will be cut off
 Assurances were given by Great Britain that today's note is not re- nlv to the recent proposals of the United States for adjustment of the entire situation which led to the re. taliatory measures and gave ground for some hope that the measures talk en might be only of temporary char acter.
 In this connection the state depart meut issued the following: "The Brit fish ambassador presented the fol- lowing instructions of his govern, ment. When presenting the joint An plo-Frenc hcommunication you should inform the United States the com munication received from them through the United States ambassa. dor in London, respecting the possi ble limitation Of the use of subma rines and mines and an arrangement for supplying food to Germany is be ing taken into careful consideration by his majesty's government in con sultation with their allies"
 Copies of notes were immediately sent by Bryan to the president. State department officials admitted one ot the most complex problems of wal has arisen. Offcials unanimously here are of the opinion theh notifica ton could not be called blockade although it is virtually in effect, one It is noted. generally, the communi cation did not use the word block ade. At the French and British em bassies there was an avoidance O the same word The notes leave much, therefore, to be explained.

BOOTLEG CASE BEFORE
 COURT
George w. Bragg, Importer of Whiskey From N e W
 Mexico, Pleads Guilty -- Sixty Days and $50 Fine.

TOMBSTONE, March 1 Special to the Review)-That Judge A. c. Lock wood will deal with severity in all bootlegging cases which come before him for sentence, was proven today when George w. Bragg was sentenced to sixty days m the county jail and fine of $50. The court stipulated that Bragg, in case the fine was not paid, should serve day for every dollar of the fine.
 The case was made more impress sive because of the fact that it was the first conviction in the county and one of the first in the state. It is also noticeable on account Of Bragg's plea which was guilty. Bragg intro duced liquor into the state from Ro- deo. New Mexico, to Douglas and was .apprehended by Sheriff Wheeler and several of his deputies.

 The jury in the case of the state against Cy West, the Sulphur Springs Valley farmer. for the killing of Fred Johnson, returned a verdict of man. slaughter after being out a short time. The verdict is punishable by penltentiary sentence of from one to ten years Sentence will be pro nounced later.

 It is anticipated that the McCool case will be bitterly fought. The crime of which the defendant is al- legged to have committed occurred February 22, 1914 Louis Cappelo was a victim of the shooting at the time and Thomas White was shot in the ribs Mrs John Detlon, ST., was ser iously injured about the head.

"The mayors attitude toward the proposal to deed the old cemetery property over to the county is decid- edly egousucal" said one Brewery Gulch business man last evening "All of the business men of the Gulch were heartily in sympathy with the mayors plan to establish park on the old cemetery site, but when it is considered that the site could be made to suit a double purpose. the mayors stand is decidedly without a true appreciation of the facts in the matter"

 The township trustees who. in this instance. is the mayor of the city, some time ago decded the old ceme- tery site to the City of Bisbee for the purpose of establishing a park upon it The township trustee, as was pointed out by one Of the members Of the city council, is merely a nominal trustee in the matter and the acts Of (COntinued i~ page tnree)
