COAST BATTERIES AT VENICE SHELL ENEMY AT RIVER VENICE. Italy, Sunday, Nov. IS. (By the Associated Press.) The rumbling of guns Is heard throughout the city by night and dav as the fleet and the Venice coast batteries shell the enemy at the mouth of the Plave. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon af-ternoon an Austrian airplane flew over the citv. but it dropped no bombs. The batteries of Venice did not fire, but when the machine flew over the Grand canal Italian torpedo boats discharged a score of shots with effect. The city's water supply has not been interrupted, although it Is feared the mains coming from the north will be cut. The American wife of a prominent Milan writer named Barelli has had an unusual experience. She was at Venice, while three of her horses and two blooded hounds were at Mestre. a suburb. The railway refused to take the horses and dogs owing to the needs of the military. She mounted one horse, took the two others oth-ers and the dogs by leash and rode night and day to Bologna, 200 miles away, over roads packed with military traffic and refugees.
