MILLIONS SECURED
 IN LIBERTY DRIVE
CBy Review Leased Wirel

WASulNGGrON, April 6,-TEis was a day o. enthusiastic patriotic ceieOrations backed by subscriptions tJ government bonds of the third Lib e.ty loan. Throughout tho United States communities observed the an niversary of the nations entrance into Jue wac and gave material evidence or their support by pledging millions of dollars to insure successful con lnuance of the struggIe against Ger many.
 While parades and public meetlngs were in progress in nearly every city. telegrams were pouring into Lierty loan headquarters at the treasury, teliing or towns which had exceeded their quotas in the IiTst day of the four-weeks campaign, or even within the first hour. More than 150 had reported when the headquarters closed tonight and more still were comlng in. Sioux City, Iowa, and Lynn, Mass. were tne largest cities exceeding their allotments and thereby winning the right to fly the honor flag oI the third Liberty loan.
 The fact that most others were. small towns, prompted an announce n.ent by the treasury that their az gregate subscriptions were rineinitesi- maI' compared with the SS,OOO,OOO,OOO campaign goal, and that today's sub reports should not be conducive to undue optimism regarding the final result"
 It was impossible tonight to esti- mate the days subscriptions sincei workers in most cities reported they were too busy celebrating to tabu- late their lists.

CUBA CELEBRATES
 ENTRANCE IN WAR

HAVANA, Cuba, April G. On the eve Of the first anniversary of Cuba s declaration of war against Germany, Havana presents today a festive ap- pearance and, as Sunday is day of celebration in all Latin-American coun tries. extensive preparations have been made for a demonstration of loyalty 10 the entente allies tomorrow.
 Since Cuba's war declaration, many activities, some military and naval, others economic, have been put in mo- tioE here to aid the United States. From the time when the German and Austrian steamships seized in Cuban waters were turned over outright as a gift tc the United States Shipping board, until the present, when Cuba is mobilizing her military resources to send force of from 10000 to 10000 men to France, the whole policy of the republic has been to subordinate other matters to those obligations of alliance which her declaration of war entailed. The Cuban army and navy have been recognized and experts from the Un- ited States army staff have estimated that Cuba's military force could be en- larged to a maximum of 100000 men and maintained at that figure indefi- nitely.
 The Cuban navy has assumed patrol duty not only in Cuban territorial wat CTS, but also far out in the Caribbean and it has been augmented by a fleet of submarine chasers, while other craft are under construction. n addi- ton to these military and naval meas Ures. many young Cubans are now in the French battle lines as infantrymen and ayiators. As instructors for the Cuban Escadrille, which is intending to sail shortly for the French front, the allies detailed two of their leading airmen to avand, and that both these flyers were native Cubans.
 Economically. Cuba's service has conspicuous. Cuba's crop of sugar this year totals 3,600,000 long tons, which is said to be the greatest sugar crop ever raised by one country in the worlds history. The entire crop has been turned over to agencies of the United States Food Administration and is being marketed at a figure that while il brings a diminished profit to its patriotic producers, at the same time has tended to safeguard the world from profiteering and extortion in this essential food commodity.
 Besides this, Cuba is developing her agricultural resources in other lines ,O great degree; so it is hoped that the necessity for insisting this year on the usual importations of foodstuffs from the United States will be diminished in tho months to come.
 Tks Cuban Red Cross headed by Madame Mariana Seva de Menocal wife of President Menocal, has raised S1,eGJ,00 for its work, and is now equipping a hospital unit exclusively of Cuban physicians and nurses for service in France.

COURT HOLDS NOT NECESSARY FOR
 EXAMINATIONS
Contention of County Attor- ney Ross Upheld By Deci- sion of the Supreme Court in Birch Case.

The contention of County Attorney John F. Ross and the ruling of Judge LockN cod that it was not necessary for a preliminary examination be giv- en tO parties charged with a violation of the prohibition law, has been up- held by a decision rendered a few days ego in the case of the State vs. Bob Birch from Yayapai county. by the Supreme Court.
 The decision upholds that in prose cuticns tor the disposition of intOxieat- ing liquor a preliminary before com hitting magistrate is not necessary.
 Attorneys of Cochise county have beer much interested in the outcome of ti.e appeal in the Birch case, as sey- eral mOoted points were raised in the appeal.
 The supreme court held, further. that the admission of bottle in evil dence after it had been traced from the hands of the bootlegger into the court room. was not objectionable. It was cCntended in the Birch case that this was not proper identification.
 Another interesting point settled by the courts decision was that relating to the admissibility of evidence con cerniBg other previous and similar sales by the defendant. It was held that evidence of other sales of simi- far nature to that charged in the in- formation is admissible when it is for the purpose of showing a desire for ! secrecy and it is disposed of surrep- tiOusly and in a roundabout way cal culatea to evade detection and where the evidence is limited to showing a plan or scheme.
 Regarding the testimony of detec- tives the court holds that such evi- delce is not unworthy of belief merely because of the detectives employment and his interest in the case.
 The opinion was written by Justice Franklin, Justices Ross and Cunning ham concurring. Judge John II. Camp bell, of Tucson. was associated with counsel for the state in this case and he expressed the opinion that the courts decision definitely decides the mooted question of whether or not in- formations may be filed direct in the superior court without the formality of a preliminary hearing in the justice court.
