Two Germans attempted last night to assassinate Major George °Cockriel, provost marshal of the American forces in Germany. The attempt to assassinate Major Cockriel was deliberate and premedi- tated. Cockriel is on the German se- cret list of “marked Americans” and during the past week has received five threatening letters, one of which gave aim only 24 hours to live. Major Cockriel, accompanied by a military police officer, was walking along a dark street of Coblenz at 10 o'clock last night when he met two Germans who began firir, as soon as they had passed the Americans, blaz- ing away over their shoulders as they ran. This probably accounts for their poor marksmanship, as neither of the Americans was hurt, although several shots were fired. The Germans Proved better runners than marks- men, as they made good their escape despite a hot chase after them. NEW PACIFIC FLEET STARTS WEST SATURDAY Ola Point Comfort, Va.
