The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-09-12

Washington, Sept. A11-Yesterda morning at 10I30 the Navy Depart ment reported through it's representa- tive on the Committee of Public In- formation that the Westwego, a steamer of the Union Petroleum Steamship Company of Philadelphia, with several other ships on Sept. 5 had beaten off an attack of six sub- marines near the French coast with the result that two of the steamships were sunk and probably all of the submarines lost.''
 Tn the afternoon at 2:30 when the thrilling victory had been blazoned in extra editions, came 8 correction from Secretary Daniels. Two ships had been sunk, but instead of six sub- marines being destroyed only one was thought to have been sent down, and that not certain. The explanation of Secretary Daniels fellows:

 The cab1egram, I find now,~ stated that sone of the submarines was prob ably lost ''
 The original statement, as given tc the press said:
 "The Navy Department has receiy- ed a report from Paris which states that the steamer Westwego reports or Sept. 8 that while cruising with sev. eral other ships it was attacked by 3 massed force of six submarines of the coast of France on Sept. 5. The result of this attack being that two oi the steamers attacked were sunk and probably all the submarines were Host" f
