LONDON, Oct. 23.-The four-day bom
bardment of the German positions along
the tout in northern France by RrltUb
warships, whose fire la directed by cap
tive balloon, was reviewed In the fol
lowing admiralty statement tonight:
"On October 1 requests for naval as
sistance were made to the admiralty by
the allied commander. In consequence
a naval flotilla, amounting to a In rue
number of pomerful long-range guns,
came Into action at daybreak on the Itth
on the Belgian coast supporting the left
of the Pelglan army and firing against
the tight of the Oerman attack, which
thy were, by their position, able to
enfilade.
Ilea? fiana Reply,
"The Germans replied by shells from
their heavy guns, but owing to the su
perior range of the British marine artil
lery, practically do damage has been
dona.
"Three monitors, which were building
In lirltlsh ports for Mraill and were ac
quired on the outbreak of the war, have
proved particularly well suited to this
cIms of operations. A heavy bombard
ment on the German flank has been
maintained without Intermission since the
morning of the 19th, and Is being con
tinued today.
"Observation la arranged from the shore
by means of naval balloons, snd all re
ports Indicate that substantial losses have
been Inflicted upon the enemy and the
fir Is well directed and effective against
his batteries and heavy guns.
KiaJoeloa Fallows !.
"Yesterday a considerable explosion,
probably of an ammunition wagon, fol
lowed upon a naval shot. The naval
losses have so far been very small con
sidering the damage and the Important
assistance rendered to the Belgian left
flank.
"All reports received by the admiralty
show the courage and determination with
which the Belgian army, animated by
the king In person. Is defending the last
few miles of Belgian soil.
"The naval operations are under the
command of Rear Admiral, the Hon. Ilor
ace U A. Hood."

Mr. Colton did not agree with counsel

The government can prove, he added.
that tho corporation has the power to
