she was able to show the full quality

SUSPECTED SPY
ESCAPES TRIAL
Discharge from Navy Pre-
vents Court-martial Of
William [. Dunbar,

william L. Dunbar, arrested In New
York. on suspicion of being Ger
man agent and interned at Ellis
Island. had ample opportunity to
learn American naval secrets. This
was made plain In an Official state
ment authorized by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels last night, after Dun
bars record as an oficer of the
United States Naval Reserve had been
scanned. The statement follows:
.'Wiliiam Lewis Dunbar was enroll
led March 90, 1917. in the provisional
rank OF Ensign. United States naval
reserve force, in the third naval
district. New York. On April :, o.
1917, he executed the acceptance and
oath Of office which document states
that he was born June 2. 1888, in Ham,
burg. Germany. and claims citizen
ship In the State OF Pennsylvania.
After enrolment he was on duty
In the third naval district. and on
June q was ordered detached from
the Federal Rendezvous. Naval Militia
armory. at the foot of Fifty-second
street. Brooklyn, N. Y, and directed
to take charge OF a patrol ship. On
August s he was detached from that

another patrol vessel He submitted
request for transfer to the Ayia-
ton Section OF the Navy. but II was
disapproved. May Is. After an in
vestigation by the office of the Naval
Intelligence. Dunbar was discharged
from the navy by direction of tele-
gram from the Bureau Of Naviga-
ton. October 9. to the commandant
Of the third naval district"
Technically Saves Suspect.
Dunbar's discharge from the Navy
removes him from danger of being
tried by court martial as a spy, Sec
rotary Daniels indicated To-Day. He
declared the case was now in the
hands Of the Department of Justice
and they would deal with 1t.
II inquired to learn why Dunbar
had been enrolled as an ensign" Sec
rotary Daniels said. land find that
under the law the commandments of
the thirteen naval districts were al
lowed some latitude In enrolling can
didates. Some few were enrolled as
officers. That was changed several
months ago and now men are not
enrolled as officers unless they pass
the required examination. Some of
those enrolled without examination
proved to have no knowledge of sea-
manship and a number were either
dropped from the rolls of the Naval
Reserve or reduced to the ranks"
Dunbars apparent anxiety to get in
to the aviation service-where he
would have a chance to learn more
secrets-is pointed out here as an in
dication that he was serving as an
agent.
