WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-A typo graphical error in transcribing a statement for the press today from an official report to the navy department, made it appear that six German sub marines probably had been sunk off the French coast when they attacked a fleet of merchantmen including at least one American vessel. The facts are, so far as is known tonight, that one submarine probably was destroyed and two of the steamers went down. corrected statement was issued by Sec retary Daniels.
 The department has only a meager account of the fight and additional de- tails have been asked for by cable. The report came from the American tanker Westwego through Paris, the vessel apparently having reached a French port after the fight. The names and nationality of the two ships lost were not given.
 The Westwego. an armed vessel was en route to Europe and from the fact that she was cruising in company with other merchant craft, navy officers assumed that the fleet was under convoy of naval vessels, probably oi American destroyers. The tanker re- ported September 8, the fight havIne occurred September 5. The brief state ment received from Paris said that six submarines had made a massed attack on the merchant flotilla; that two ol the steamers were sunk and that one of the submarines probably was lost

SANTA FEE, N. M Sept. 11-E. Dana Johnson, editor of the Santa Fe New Mexican, was sentenced today by Judge M. c. Meichem of the state dis trict court to serve thirty days in the county jail for contempt of court be- cause of an article published in the New Mexican March 30, last After stating he did not believe the case subject to appeal, the court granted appeal to the state supreme court and fixed bond.
 The defense contended that the ar ticle in question was not published with the intent of bringing the court into disrepute or of affecting pending cases but merely was an attack on Judge Meichem in his private capacity and was in continuance of a political campaign.
 Judge Edward R. Wright, former member of the territorial supreme court, who was of counsel for the de- fense, was fined fifty dollars for con tempt on the ground that portions of the answer. which the court ordered stricken. were contumacious.

 Does federal government want us to leave this camp? If so please tell us plainly to go. Do not act the school boy and cut down our rations as was done this morning.
