Washington, September II - Six
enemy submarines made mass at
tack September s, on the French
coast, upon merchant ships from
America, being conveyed to Europe
by United States destroyers. In the
engagement two of the merchant
ships were sunk and 1t is believed
that one of the submarines was de-
stroyed The first announcement given
out by the Navy department stated
that six submarines were destroyed
Secretary Daniels late today issued
the following statement
"My attention has just been called
to a serious error made In TRANSCRIPT
ing the report of the attack made on
the Westwego and other vessels. l
gave the report to the press, this
morning, exactly as 1t was presented
to me, stating that two of the steam
ers attacked were sunk and proba-
bly, all of the submarines were lost,
| The cablegram l now find stated that
one of the submarines probably was
lost"
There was no loss of life among
Americans. The report was trans
mitted from the American tank steam
err Westwego, one of the ships which
survived the attack.
1t was announced recently tnat
policy of conveying fleets Of mer-
chant ships across the Atlantic had
been adopted, and, since the West
wego and the other merchant craft,
which were the objects of the sub
marines attack, were bound for Eu-
rope, it is regarded as more than pro-
bable that American warships guard
ed the merchant ships on the way
across.
American warships have all been
equipped with depth bombs for fight
ing submarines. This weapon has
been highly perfected by American
ornance experts and proved very
deadly.

President Owen of Liberty Company, Talks
on Economizing in Fuel During Period of

Those men who say automobile
driving should be discontinued because
gasoline is being used in excess of
present production, are going too far.
They fail to take into consideration
tne importance Of the motor car in
the lie OF today as an agency of eff
cheney and economy. They ignore
certain important developments de-
signed to forestal shortage in fuel

Nobody is more in sympathy than,
/. he says, with the idea of max
ing our gasoline supply go as far as
posible-much farther. in fact, than
ever before-for these are unusual
times. and the demands upon the pro-
ducers Of fuel are greater than ever
before. There are other ways, how
ever, Of securing the desired results
besides asking automobile owners to
give up their cars.
The automobile today is a neces-
sity. Why consider il q luxury? Take

These latter days are days Of eco

Hons for Us as a nation.
The saving in time made each year
by the automobile. in business, would
pay the liberty loan.
1T is true that the demands for
fuel are increasing in view of the
growing demands of the government
at this time for cars, trucks. air
planes and the increasing number Of
cars and tracks that are going into
the service OF private owners. The
larger demand for fuel. however, will
simply stimulate greater production

which have since been approved by

makers of the country have agreed
voluntarily to cooperate with the War
Department in carrying through a con-
tinuing standardized motor truck
building program for the requirements
of the American army. The Columbus
meeting was attended by fully 200
representatives of the industry, and its
action insures the organized assistance
of the country's motor truck makers
in providing an ample supply of mill
tary motor trucks for government
service, says the Power Wagon.
For Immediate service in France,
the Government either has already
ordered or will place orders in the
near future for enough motor trucks
of modified commercial type to take
care of the first expeditionaI forces
Even after the standardized motor
truck is approved. such orders will
be continued SO that the fullest pos
sible use will be made OF machines
of the type now in service OF the
allies, which some American firms
are now building.
In the meantime the Secretary of
War has set aside from the conting-
ent fund a sum sufficient to COM
