BARONESS ZOLLNER is
GIVEN HER LIBERTY
District Attorney Failed to Press
Case. Is Cause,

Knoxville, KY, June 6.-An-
nounccment was made here that an
order had been issued in federal
court striking from the docket the
case oi Baroness Iona W, Zollner,
whose arrest at local hotel some
time ago with a lieutenant of the
Sixth United States infantry, was
followed by the filing OF espionage
charges against her.
The order announced today which
annuls the espionage charge, states
that such action was taken because
the district attorney failed to press
the case before the grand jury at
its last session.
After her arrest on the espionage
charge, Baroness Zollner secured
release on bond through habeaS
corpus proceedings, to await action
by the grand jury.

fenced to confinement to quarters
for three months and was fined $50

MANY U-BOATS
MAY BE LURKING
IN AMERICAN ZONE

Washington, June 6.-Naval Off
cials are proceeding ON the theory
that many submarines may be off
the coast or may be expected to ar
rive, although they have nothing to
indicate that more than two have
been operating. When American
destroyers and other small craft
were sent abroad for war work in
the war zone, it was fully realized
that submarine raids in American
waters were entirely possible and
the entire coastal patrol service has
been built up on that assumption.
Viewed from a purely American
standpoint, officials believed the
despatch of the swift naval craft to
foreign waters was unwarranted but
American troops could not be sent
to France with any degree of Sc
curity and the United States could
not take its fair share of the burden
of war unless they went. That was
the condition that compelled the
to cast prudence aside
and to rush the ships abroad.
With this it was felt the key to
the shipping situation--the neck Of
the bottle-was abroad where ships
must converge. That neck must be
kept open at any hazard and the
navy has kept it open. Not an out
ward bound troop ship under Amer
can convoy has been successfully
issailed.
Meanwhile, it has been realized
hat the length OF the American
,oast line and the limited number OF
swift destroyers that could be re-
aimed at home made it possible tor
'aiders to strike at coastwise traf-
ic or even at the transports.
