Washington, Sept. 11.-American
destroyers are believed to have sunk
six hostile submarines off the coast
Of France Sept. 5, while conveying
a feet OF merchantmen from the
United States.
Two of the merchant ships were
lost. but, ii is reported, without a
loss OF life. Meagre reports to the
navy department today, giving a
brief account of the, fight were trans
mitted from the American tank
steamer Westwego, one of the ships
which survived the attack.
The merchant fleet OF which the
WestweEo was one. was en- route to
Europe from the United States when
attacked. The vessels were under
convoy but no. details of the fight
were included in the report received.
No loss of life was reported nor
were the names Of the two ships
sunk included in the dispatch. II is
not even known whether they were
American ships or not. The navy de-
partment has cabled for further in
formation.
Following is the navy departments
statement:
THE navy department has re-
ceived report from Paris which
states that the steamer Westwego,
reports on Sept that, while cruis-
ing with several other ships they
were attacked by six submarines or
the coast Of France on Sept. 5, the
result of this attack being that two
of the steamers attacked were sunk
and probably all OF the submarines
were lost"
While this does not actually state
that American destroyers were con-
voying the ship that Is believed to
be the fact.
It was announced recently that a
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, IL is regarded as more than
probable that American warships
guarded them.
American warships have all been
equipped with depth bombs for
fighting submarines. This weapon
has been highly perfected by Am
erican ordnance experts and has
proven very, deadly.
IL detailed reports bear out the
first dispatch they will signalize the
most notable action against the sub
marines since the war began. In no
other case has such a wholesale de-
struction of U-boats been reported.
