NAVY SINKS ONE U-BOAT;
 NEWS STORY A MISTAKE
Navy Department Through Error, Ignores Corrected Copy of Despatch, Which Tells of One
 Sub Sunk Not Six.

sage a clerk in the office sank the ex- tra five submarines. A copy or the despatch had barely reached the or fee of Secretary Daniels to De glven to the press when the error was ois- covered by the clerk. A correct copy immediately was prepared ana Ioi- lowed the other into MT. Dan1els's or flee.
 Both copies were given into the hands of the Navy Departments rep resentative on the Committee on Pub lie Information He, for some reason not apparent, was ignorant of the fact that the second copy was a correction of the first, and was not apprlsed Of this important fact, according to ex- plnation made.
 The regrettable result was that when the Creel man rushed into the mimeo- graph room to have announcements made for the press he handed the op- orator the first copy, which gave the American public news of another vic tory over German submarines. The two merchant ships sunk are supposed to have been the British freighter Wentworth. commanded by Capt. Crone, and the French freighter
 Koung-Si, commanded by Capt. F'oggi, which were reported in another des- p1CCu lO nave Oecu S0lh oil tAiO E 0AASA coast September 5.
 The Navy Department has caIbled for additional facts of the fight. The
 report, received yesterday came frofn
 Paris and it is assumed that the | Westwego reached France after tht fight, but the names and nationality
 of the ships lost are not known cer- tainly From the fact that the West wego was cruising in company with
 other merchant craft it is assumed
 here that the fleet was under convoy
 of naval vessels probably destroyers. The Westwegp is an armed vessel
 but there was nothing to tell if the other ships also were armed. The fac
 that the submarines attacked the merchant fleet in force led to the con. cIusion that the German condmanders leroneously thought that they had te
 deal with troop ships or with army l supply ships.
