To SmuggIe Ammunition

San Francisco Feb ia daring
attempt to smuggle ammunition into
Mexico was frustrated this afternoon
when police and government officials
boarded the liner Peru and arrested
Marcus Silvan, an oiler and Andres
Andres, ships carpenter.
Following the arrests rooms occu-
pied by the two men were searched
and three thousand rounds of ammuni-
tion we're found. In the hunks on
board ship were 1900 shells.
Last Thursday Andres came under
suspicion when box of shells was
found in his possession. He told the
police he had purchased the shells for
friend. The ammunition was seized
and Andres liberated. Since then he
has been watched.
According to Captain Omara, of the
neutrality squad, Andres had 1927
when first arrested and admitted this
was all the money coming to him from
the trip. Today he had nearly $400 af-
ter buying the ammunition. Officials
suspect he was paid by German agents
to take the shells to Mexico.

ate candidates for mayor of the city,
the police investigated the alleged at
tempt of vice agents to shoot Ralph
Horr, one of the seven candidates.
Horr announced at midnight, just af-
ter he had concluded his final speech
of the primary campaign, that two men
shot and wounded him in the shoulder as
he entered his law office. He has re-
ceived several threatening letters from
vice agents, he declared. One of his as
sailants of last night, he said, declared:
"We warned you not to talk against
us. Horr said the two men, after shoot
ing him, escaped by the fire escape.
His wound is not considered serious.
Chief of Police Warren is mystified
by the affair, he said-in statement to-
day. He has a squad of men at WORK in-
vestigating. The revolver with wnIcn
the shooting was done has not been
found.
Interest in today's primary election
was high. The two high candidates in
today's election will go before the vot
ers again in the final election two weeks

Some folks may point to the fact

A COB is a sailor, man Of the Amer

In Saturday Evening Post. 1t is the
generic term for all men in the serv-
ice, up to those who wear the gold on

ors often speak Of the austere COM
handing officer as the main COB. The
use Of it primarily is to show the sail
ors' detestation for the usual desig-
nation of them-jackies. Nothing
r0uses the ire of a sailor so quickly
as to call him a jackie. He doesn't
like it, and will not have it. No d.
minutive, as expressed by the "ie," for
him. It doesn't fit either his own as
sumption of his manliness or with the
fact Of that manliness.
He is big, broad-chested, Drowned,

speaking Of him as a jackie with its
implication of small boyishness is

Where do you get it, anyhow? Cob,

with the soldiers. Their resentment
Of the attempt to tack the Sammees
on them is acrid and universal. They
won't have it. And I don't blame
them, having, as it happens, an acute
personal interest in the matter. Now
Samuel is a good sonorous Biblical
name, and Sam is the virile contrac-
tion thereof, but this Sammee business
gets on ones nerves. Hence our
soldiers, scorning the Sammee appel
lation, call themselves Yanks, which
is good, masculine, soldierly term;
thus the men in our navy call them
selves gobs.
