United States Questions Blockade Basis in War Notes
The United States asks Britain and France to clarify whether their actions are a legal blockade or general contraband rules. Washington asserts non-contraband goods should move freely to neutrals, and detentions require clear proof of use by Germany. Officials say U S policy has not changed and seeks firm international legal grounding.

New Prison Warden Zerbst Brings Army Past to Atlanta
Frederik Zerbst, the new Atlanta federal prison warden, arrives April 1 to succeed William H. Moyer. His career began in 1855 at Fort Leavenworth where he rose from guard to deputy warden and later head of the Leavenworth penitentiary before moving to Atlanta.

Fort Leavenworth officials voiced regret at his promotion to Atlanta fields.
