Mistaken Report Gave
Country False Thrill
in Submarine Victory

Washington Sept. 12.-Jubilation
over the official report as first issued
yesterday that six German subma-
rines had been sunk while making an
attack on a number of merchant
ships underwent measurable subsid-
ence at later announcement by Sec
retary Daniels that but one of the
hostile U-boats had probably been
destroyed.
/. Secretary Daniels explained that
typographical error in the cablegram
describing the encounter between the
steamer Westwego and the subma-
rines accounted for the earlier err
roneous report
Richard ]. Beamish, writing for
the Philadelphia Press from Wash
ington, to-day says:
Intense anxiety has overspread
the Navy Department as a result of
to-day's news detailing the sinking
of two merchant vessels on Septem-
ber 5, off the coast of Frnce by Ger
man submarines. The fact that the
ships were heavily conveyed when
the attack was made. is responsible
for the existing depression.
THE news is taken by every one
in the Navy Department, from Sec
retary Daniels and Admiral Benson
down to the newest clerk, as a dem
onstration to the United States that
Germany can and will attack sue
cessfully American transports voy-
aging to France, no matter how
strong the conveys may be. 1t is the
forerunner of a campaign by super
submarines that, according to high
naval authorities, will probably ex-
tend into mid-Atlantic.
This is the third cablegram that
has come to the Navy Department
within a week telling of sinkings of
conveyed merchantmen by sub
marines"

~: For six months the worlds tom

has been at any time since 1t was
launched. Nothing effective is being
done to control it directly; the Brit

crush it out. Nothing has been in
vented to combat it effectively, and
nothing lis likely to be invented. The
submarine possesses an intrinsic In
vulnerability which must be faced
and acknowledged before the prob
lem can be got practically in hand.
The sailor, the man who has dealt
with sea problems all his life, the
man who has to take his ship
through the submarine zone, the man
who has to do the work and pay the
price, has seen from the first what
was the right way to go at It, and
how it would eventually work out.
He has seen that speed and guns
were the two prime requisites; that
the submarine campaign was going
to develop into a real sea battle, a
free fight up and down the ocean;
that a ships own speed and arma-

and fairly smother them out by dash
