PaImgren to Lecture On
Sweden and Its Interests

The noted lecturer, Axel Palmgren,
correspondent Of the Stockholm Dag
blad, will appear at Auditorium Oc-
tober l, 2 and 3 in three illustrated
lectures upon Sweden as it is today.
Mr.. Palmgron has been giving these
lectures on broad tour OF this
country, and brings with him over
$4,000 feet of remarkable film, show
ing in moving pictures not only the
country itself, with its exquisite
scenery and places Of exceptional
interest but also many OF the dra-
matte issues and results of which
Sweden has been and is the theater
on account OF its close proximity to
battle-torn Europe.
Among other things that will be
shown will be pictures OF the Amerl-
can minister to Sweden, Mr.. Ira Mel
son Morris, at his residence in Stock
holm, as we'll as American foot ball
players playing games against Swed-
ish teams.
Sweden is very interesting in sports
and lots OF winter sports, such as
skeeing, coasting and skating, will
be shown, as we'll as wonderful sum
mer sports, such as racing and SWIM
ming.
Among the many beautiful spots to
be shown is the historical Island Of
Visingo, with its wonderful setting in
charming Lake Vettern.
Among the many incidents con-
nected with the war will be shown
exchanges Of war prisoners, through
the mediation of the Swedish gov
ernment, and the Red Cross in action,
while the film showing education, in
dustry, transportation, national de-
fense, folk dances, city and country
life, effort and promise is volumin-
GUS and comprehensive.
The program, which is different for
each lecture, is not only extremely
interesting, even fascinating, but
especially is it educational, and that is
its especial purpose-to ac0uaint the
American people with Sweden, its
life and industry and to promote
closer relations between the two coun-
tries for the mutual benefit OF both.

AGAIN V|CTORS
OVER GERMANS

Around verdun, the fighting be-
tween the French and the Ger
mans has died down to intermit-
tent artillery duels, the Germans
having ceased their violent coun-
ter-attacks to regain lost posi-
tions. In Champagne there has
been a resumption Of somewhat
violent operations in which Gen
eral Petain's forces have won: sue
cess.
From the Belgian coast we'll
down into Flanders the artillery
duel continues Of a most violent
nature, but with Field Marshal
Haig's guns apparently doing the
major portion Of the work. Aside
from the usual trench raiding OPP
erations, however. the infantry IS
still keeping to the trenches.
German aviators continue their
shelling of allied hospitals behind
the lines. Monday night they car
ried out their latest raid in the
region of Dunkirk where bombs
which fell on a hospital wounded

OLD TYPO ERROR"
GETS IN ITS WORK
AFTER "SUB" FIGHT
TWO SHIPS SENT DOWN;
ONE U-BOAT, PERHAPS S
Massed Attack on Fleet OF
Merchantmen by Six
German Submarines.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. A typo
graphical error In transcribing state
ment for the press today from an otfi'
cal report to the navy department,
madeit 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 arc. sc
far as known tonight. that one SUBJ
marine probablywas destroyed and two
Of the steamers went down. \ corrected
statement was Issued by Secretary
Daniels as soon as the error was dis
covered.
The department has only meagrc
account of the fight and additional de-
tails have been asked for by cable. The
report came from the American tanker
WcstweEo 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 WcStwcgo was enroutc TO Europe
and from the fact that she was cruising
il: company with other merchant craft.
navy officers assumed that the fleet was
under convoy Of naval vessels, prob
ably Of American destroyers. The
tanker reported September s. the fight
having occurred September s. The brief
statement received from Paris said that
six submarines had made n massed at
tack on the merchant flotilla; that two
of the steamers were sunk and that one
Of the submarines probably was lost.
Tho WeStwcgo is All armed vessel, but
there was nothing in tho message to in
d,cato whether the other ships also were
armed.
In preparing for the press In the
bureau Of operations Of the navy de-
partmcnt a statement OF the contents
CT the dispatch. II was written ha all
oc the six submarines probably had been
lost. Later. on, checking over the mes
sage and the statement issued TO the
press. il was found that the word was
ore" in the dispatch.
Officials we're interested In particu-
lars of the fight. since IF the vessels
wore under convoy as is supposed, and
cilhcr Of the two STEAMERS lost were
american. the first conveyed American
m n4rchant craft has fallen victim To tho
submarines.
The fact that the submarines attacked
the merchant fleet in such force led to
the conclusion that tho German COM
mander enormously thought he had to
deal with troop transports or with army
supply ships.
