TORPEDO BOATS REPELLED.
BattIeship Fleet Successfully Fights
on Imaginary Enemy.

wireless via Portsmouth, Va, Sept 20.
After night of successful battle
practice In repelling the imaginary at
tacks from flotilIa of torpedo boats
of supposed enemy, the Is battleships
of the American Atlantic fleet today
are swinging lazily at anchor, giving
the officers and men a rest in order to
be in trim for the strenuous work of
day battle practice which will begin
promptly Wednesday morning
While both officers and men were
displeased at the long delay caused by
the heavy weather which made impos-
sible the towing of the target RATS by
the small auxiliary craft, they were in
a better frame of mind today because
of the possibility of more favorable
weather for the day battle practice to-
morrow. 1t is the intention of
the commandments Rear Admiral
Schroeder, to rush this work and he
hopes that all the vessels will have
concluded the firing by Friday.
The repulSe OF the enemy's torpedo
flotilla during the night was spectacu-
lar work. With conditions almost
identical to those under which a hos
tile torpedo flotilla would make an at
tack on and attempt to sink the bat
tleship fleet, the 16 huge fighting ma
chimes last night demonstrated how they
could repel an enemy's torpedo craft
without permitting any of the pestifer-
Gus little vessels to get close enough t.
