DEADLY WORK OF BRITISH NAVAL GUNS.
SIXTEEN HUNDRED CASUALTIES IX ONE DAY. AEROPLANE AND ZEPPELIN BROUGHT DOWN. London, October 21. British warships lying off the coast of Belgium watched the enemy at night digging trenches, and by their flares took the exact range. They shelled the enemy at daylight, inflicting 1600 casualties in one day and wrecking six batteries. The first shot from the warships on Sunday destroyed a Taube aeroplane, and a British force is also reported to have brought down a Zeppelin.
