I gave the report to the press © |this morning exactly as it was given to saying that ‘two of the steamers atta |were sunk and probably all of the sub- ‘marines were lost. “The cablegram, I now find, stated that e 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 a |massed force of six submarines off the coast of France on September 5,:the result of this jattack being that two of the steamers at-_ tacked 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 pglicy 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.
