sCHUMANN-HEINK NO SPY.
Government Denies Story Which Has
Been Widespread.

Numerous stories have been cur
rent for the past month regarding
the loyalty of Nine Schumann-Heink
the singer. The stories have been
widely circulated and gained con-
siderable credence that she would be
shot at sunrise or had committed
suicide after being discovered as
spy
The first definite information and
authentic statement to the public re-
garding the story comes through the
Kansas City Star and is as follows:
1.-The Department of Justice says
that Schumann-Heink has not been
interned or shot and that can be
stated definitely"
Schumann-H eink was in Washing
ton during the last Liberty loan cam
paign a few weeks ago singing for
the Liberty loan campaign meetings.
