VIRGINIA ARGUS.
RI c II NJ O Nd:
THURSDAY, AUGUST 30. 1915.

The letter OF Com. Chauncey to- the Sec
rotary OF the Navy is entirely satisfactory.
His losses have been the effect of bad wea-
thcr, dull sailing, and disobediene of orders
three things, neither of Which it was, at
the time, III his power to guard against He
behaved We think, with great discretion,
aad in the true spirit of an able comman
der. in giving up the two schooners in pre-
ference to separating himself from his
squadron. Commodore Chauncey obvions
Iy has very accomplished officer in Sir
James Yeo to contend with, and If he sue
ceeds against him will deserve the highest
praise. The United States have much of
reputation, as well of immediate beIiigerent
object, at stake in the expected battle OH
the lakes. Upon an inland sea like Cnta
RIO, the two countries stand upon AN equal
footing The British navy does not prepon-
derate there by numbers, and, of course,
the result OF an engagement will be the eff.
feet OF skill and Courage. We have the ut
most confidence in Com. Chauncey. His
letter OF the 18th inst To Mr.. Jones is ample
proof OF his clnse attention to daty, of his
steady observation of particulars, and of his
promptness to seize and turn to advantage
the least opportunity that presents itself
But, after all. the winds and the waves. a
squall, a lee shore, a chance shot, and fifty
things may occur to battle the utmost effort
OF human skill and valor. Whilst, there
ioie, we rely upon Chauncty, let us not
despond if. by soneinevitable circumstance,
he should not ;mally be so successful as we
anticipate. That he viii, in any event, cover
,, himself and his Country with glory, we have
not the least doubt.
