* S ptember f>, lo<! iSocretary Daniels to
amount e that six submarines probably
had been sock in the battle, |
when in realitv the probabilities arc
c:i v one was; destroyed.
The mistake was not discovered until
several hours ; Dor the country had
been electrified by the report of a
v ro'cs.tle siuh in v.- of Ge"man U-boats.
This statement then was issued by
Secretary Daniels:
"My attention has just been called
to a serious e:vo- made in transcribing
the report of the attack made on
the V estwefv > and other vessels. 1
g.ive the report to the press this morn
ir.g exactly as it was presented to me,
stating that 'two of the steamers attacked
were sunk and probably all of
the submarines were lost. The cablegram,
I now find, stated that 'one' of
the submarine was probably lost."
The earlier statement by the Navy
Department read as follows:
"The Navy Department has received
a report from Paris which
states that the steamer Westwego reports
on September 8 that while cruising
with several other ships, was attacked
by a massed force of six submarines
off the coast of France on
September 5. The result of this attack
being that- two of the steamers
attacked were sunk and probably all
" of the submarines were lost."

. . It was announced recently that a
... policy of convoying fleets of merv
chant ships across the Atlantic had
been adopted, and since the Westwego
and the other merchant craft which
wore the objects of the submarines
attack were bound for Europe, it is
regarded more than probable that
American warships guarded the merchant
ships on the way across.
American warships have all been
equipped with depth bombs for fighting:

West.vcgo He'd Up Before,
The WesLv.ego had an experience
v.*Itli a Clerman submarine before the
United States entered the war, having
he en attacked by one January 31 last,
while off the coast of England. She
was proceeding from an American
v<;rt with a ca go of oil for Europe
when a submarine fired five shots at
her from astern. The Westwego's
captain, J. S. Mulcoy, biought his
vessel to a stop and sent a boat with
hi.- papers, whereupon the German
cf rnmandcr demanded a supply of oil,
threatening to sink the ship if his demends
were riot complied with. The
Submarine commander also demanded
tUat the vessel's $1,000,000 cargo of
grsclir.e be thrown overboard, saying
1:_ would give Captain Mulcoy until
the next morning to comply. Four
barrels of cylinder oil were sent to
the submarine and the Westwego pro^v'c
1. She saw no more of the nubmarine.
The Westwego, an oil tank steamer,
was built in Germany in 1014 for Rumanian
account, under the name cf
the Steaux Romana. Later her registry
was changed to American and

Latest reports show she was in in
