WHAT is NEWSp
COURT TO ANSWER

Washington, Oct. s.-The Z. S. su-
prone court today granted a writ of
cevtiorari in the case of the Interna-
ticral News Service and the Associated
Press. This action foreshadows an i'm =
portant ruling upon the news asso-
Citations and newspapers of the coun-
try The writ was granted by the en-
tire court and was announced by Chief
Justice White Now the entire case
viii he reopened.
Granting the petition on the part
OF the supreme court follows decisions
in the United States circuit court Of
appeals. Justice Ward gave an, opin-
son stating that the contention of the
Associated Press that it was possible
to obtain a proprietorship in a news
fact was absurd" Two other JUS
tees in the court OF appeals upheld
the Associated Press
The International News Service con-
tended that as soon as a fact was Civ
en- TO the public through the medium
of A newspaper or a bulletin medium
then that fact became public property.
The decision of the supreme court up-
on the matter Is looked forward TO
with aagerness by publishers all over
the country.
IT is not thought probable that the
case viii be reached at the present SEES
sion Of the court, although by spring
time a hearing may be assigned.

AMERICAN PATROL
FIRES On ITALIAN
O-bOAT;; TWO DEAD
Submarine Fails TO Respond TO Sig
mails in Area Infested by
Germans.

Washington, Oct. S.---An American
patrol boat, presumably In the Med
tterranean. fred by mistake on an
Italian submarine and killed two men.
an officer and one man of the crew,
according to an official announcement
given out at the navy department to-
night. The date of the occurrence is
put down as recently
The explanation is given that the
italian submarine failed to reply to
the esta hlished recognition signals
when sighted ny the patrol boat. The
darkness of the night and the fact
that German submarines had been
especially active In the vicinity, sew
eral merchant vessels having been
sunk, led the patrol boat commander
to fire without further investig cation.
The navy department was advised
OF the occurrence by Vtce-Admiral
Sims. commanding the American ma
val forces in European waters. Ad-
rntral Sims notified Secretary Daniels
that he was thoroughly investigating
the unfortunate occurrence"
hmm ediately upon receipt OF Ad-
miral Sims message, Secretary Dam
iels cabled as follows to the Italian
minister OF marine:
L nave lea rneQ with deepest regret
OF the unfortunate occurrence which
resulted in an American vessel firing.
through q misunderstanding upon an
Italian submarine. causing the death
OF one sofficer and one enlisted man
on the latter. AS our patrol vessels
are in European waters primarily for
the purpose of cooperating with the
Italian and other allied vessels In our
common cause, the unfortunate en-
counter is ell the more regrettable
due to the recent unusual activity
of enemy submarines in this region,
which has resulted in the loss OF sew
eral vessels, the patrol had been
strictly maintained ana the unfortu-
nate fact that the patrol vessel did
not obtain the recognition signals re-
suited IN her opening fire.
Please accept on behalf Of myself
and the American navy sincere and
heurtfelt sympathy for the loss OF life
which has resulted"
In the copy OF Secretary Daniels
cablegram made available for the
press long line of asterisks, to mark
a deletton from the actual text, fol-
low the words unfortunate occur
renee" These fill gap occupied in
the original by the location or the
occurrence.
In connection with this It is recalled
that within the last week reports have
been prevalent that the unwonted ac-
tivtttes OF German submarines in the
Mediterranean led to the dispatch OF
American warships there to helm deal
with the situation.
