rwo U-BOATS SEATEN BY SHIPS' CGHVOY Attack cn American Cargo Fleet Defeated by Destroyers i OiME SUBMARINE , PROBABLY SUNK ; Two Merchant Vessels Lost. Error in the First Statement. i "Washington.? A typographical or.1'ihlpo-rani reporting a sub- - i V'l 111 u VV?.^ t n iritw attack on a convoy of merciii ot ships off the coast of France <?n * 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." ! % I . . Probably Under Convoy* . . 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: submarine*. This weapon has been highly perfected by American ordnance experts a;.d proves ver\ (i ad!y. 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.

The facts are, so far as known, that one submarine was prob-j ably destroyed and two of the steamers went down.
