BRITISH naval.
PLANES BRING.
DOWN ENEMIES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON. Aug. l3.-Two Of the Ger
man machines which yesterday raided the
English southeast coast watering places
were destroyed by British naval aero
planes. The official statement ISSUED by
the government today says that one OF
the machines was "Gotha airplane," and
the other n ''Seaplane.'
Reports from various local correspond
ents indicate the probabilities that the
German airplane raid Sunday would have
been much more serious but for the pre-
parations of British defense.
The British airplanes at the first init
mation of the enemy's approach arose
from all points climbing upward at a ter
rifle pace at daring angles with the result
that before the Germans arrived fleets
Of British machines were waiting. There
are many stories of scattered fights by
the Germans to avoid risking engagements
with the defenders.
