LONG-RANGE FIRE
OPENED ON BRITISH CONVOY. (Received This Day, 9 a.m.) LONDON, October 4. German long-range guns in France shelled a British convoy in the Straits of Dover at dawn. Two salvos of three shells each were fired from near Cape Gris Nez as the convoy, which carried its own balloon barrage, ploughed through rough seas, swept by a southwesterly gale. Great columns of water shot up. The gunfire shook houses and awakened people living on the Kent Coast.
