2 Steamers, but
No Lives Lost
i'm Mass Attack

WASHINGTON, Sept. ATTACKED on
September by six German submarines in
massed formation, two of group of Ameri-
can vessels under convoy were destroyed
and one of the submarines was probably
sunk off the coast of France, the navy de-
partment announced today.
Earlier in the day the department had
given out a statement saying probably all
the submarines were lost, but re-examina-
erroneous.
my attention has just been called to 4
serious error made in transcribing the report
of the attack made on the Westwego and
other vessels. | gave the report to the press
this morning exactly as it was given to me,
saying that two of the steamers attacked
were sunk and probably all of the sub
marines were lost.
"The cablegram, now find, stated that
'one of the submarines was probably lost
The following is the text of the official
statement as first issued on the battle:
THE navy department received a report
from Paris which states that the steamer
Westwego reported that, while cruising with
several other ships, was attacked by q
massed force of six submarines off the coast
of France on September S., the result of this
attack being that two of the steamers at
tackled were sunk and probably all of the
submarines were lost"
The Westwego is an American merchant
steamer.
The navy department deduced from the
report that Germany has adopted the
definite policy of massing her U-boats for
attack, apparently having learned of the re-
cent announcement that the American ships
are going in groups under convoy.
The steamers attacked were bound for
Europe under convoy of American warships.
According to the navy reports not yet COM
plete, no loss of life is shown. Further par
ticulars are expected hourly by the navy de-
partment.
