Typewriter Causes
Navy Yard War Scare

Vallejo. Cal, March 25.-The fact that
a typewriting machine was needed by
one of the United States warships now in
Mexican waters was responsible for a
war scare at the Mare Island navy
yard yesterday.
Information leaked out that the col
lier Justin, which has been ordered to
Mexico, will put in at San Diego and a
rumor was circulated that the purpose
of the stop was to take aboard ammuni-
ton for the fighting vessels stationed off
the Mexican Pacific coast. Capt. NJ.
Frank Bennett commandant at the yard.
exploded the war talk bubble last night
by the following statement; THE collier
will stop at San Diego to pick up an ex-
ira typewriter now on board one of the
vessels there. If any war talk has arisen
from the order kindly blame it on the
typewriter. 1t seems that one of the YES
sells in Mexican waters is shy machine
and therefore the collier must take one
down there. Typewriters are indispens-
able in modern warfare

feet, they passed and repassed each
other in inconceivably small spaces
without once touching each other or
humping into their lord and master

stand and one of the Wallets hands
him a toothbrush and powder. Then
for three solid minutes by his Swiss

and scrub and polish. The ever alert
dressers stand behind him, watchful

Caruso takes long breath, and he
