Cases Against Bahlche and Hannah Are Dismissed In Federal Court
 At Batesville

In federal court at Batesville Tuesday the cases against J. H. Han nan and R. A. Bahlche were dismiss ed, following an investigation by the grand jury. Both men came to Diaz from Batesville on Tuesday evening" $ train and boarded northbound Iron Mountain train at 9 o'clock last night.
 Several weeks ago Barlche was ar rested here following disloyal re- marks he is alleged to have made. An investigation showed his associa- tion with Hannah, who was later ar rested. Hannah had in his posses sion literature construed to be an at tack on the government, and Bahl- che possessed literature which treated against the teachings of the govern ment. Each man waived preliminary hearing and were taken to Batesville, where they made bond for appearance in the court there this week.
 Hannah came to Newport some time ago from a northern state and engaged in the practice of law here. Following his arrest he moved his family back north. Bahlche was em- ployed as barber here at the time of his arrest.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 New York, June 5.-Allied defen- ssive measures have broken the force of the German offensive in the salient south of the Ailette. The enemy is now making only strong local attacks, Berlin in it's latest report for the first time since May 27 did not claim any new advance.
 The Americans are taking part in fighting around Chateau Thierry, where the western part of the battle frol5 joins the Marne. Between the Disc and Marne rivers fighting is heaviest, but attacks are being local ized Enemy artillery fire is heavy north of the Aisne and around Rheims, which still holds out
 In addition to the present battle, Americans now are actively engaged in four sectors and are preparing to enter the front line and another in Flanders. Military observers ex- pect the Germans to next attempt to again reach the channel ports through Amiens. Fighting operations on the western front elsewhere than south of the Ailette is at minimum.
 German submarines apparently are still off the Atlantic coast. An Amer ican destroyer Tuesday rescued a French tanker from submarines off the Maryland shore. Nearly fifty persons are ss;ll missing from the Carolina. Sixteen of these were re- ported to have perished from expos ure. x,

Young Batesville Barber Carrying Whiskey Boards Train Here And
 Goes to Federal Court.

Otto Guenzel, young Batesville
 barber who reached Newport early
 Tuesday morning with a quantity
 of whiskey, didn't know he was going to Federal court when he boarded the
 Batesville train few hours following his arrival from Poplar Bluff. Car rying his contraband he stood up in the vestibule and happened to attract the attention of Gus c. Martin, who was en route to Batesville to attend court. MT. Martin reported his sus- picions to the United States Marshal, who was on the same train bound for the same place. When questioned Guenzel denied that he owned the package containing four quarts of whiskey lying at his feet in the ves- tibule. When he was searched few pints of the stuff were found in his pockets, whereupon he admitted own ership of the package.
 Guenzel was promptly taken to eourt at Batesville, but when it was learned that he was scheduled to reg ister for military service today, and after saying that he had intended to join the navy immediately before the time for registration, he was re- leased. It is said he is now a mem- Der of the navy.

FEDERAL COURT AT
 BATESVILLE TO CON-
 PLETE WORK TODAY

Quite a number of Newport citizens spent yesterday in Batesville attend ing federal court as witnesses and jurors. Many of them returneb home last night, having been dis charged. James w. Grubbs of this city was foreman of the grand jury. The court will complete the work for the term today, it is believed.
 Each year it is more definitely ap- parent that the federal court for this district should be located at Newport instead of Batesville, not for the con venience of Newport citizens partic- ularly, but for the reason that it's To- cation in this city would create a great saving of expense for the gov crnment. Practically every man hay ing business in the court at each term must pass through Newport, and either spend the day or night here. Court officials live in Little Rock and must add mileage to government ex- pense by continuing their journey from here to Batesville, and the same is true of witnesses and jurors and others, besides the inconvenience of coming in contact with inadquate train service.
 If the federal court were moved to Newport the money saving by it's op- erationShere would pay for the trans fer within short time.
