MUDDY AND MONOTONOUS.
WARREN OF BRITISH TRENCHES. HARD WORK IN FLANDERS. (Times and Sydney Snn ■Jgjl, [(Received 8.30, a.m.). 'W " LONDON, 'March" 10. A correspondent with the British troops says: "The country where thevßritish troops are entrenched is the-most interesting portion of lianders, and- also the most disheartening, monotonous, muddy, and damnable country imaginable for the operations of an army accustomed to sanitation and cleanliness. ' The whole place is a warren of old and new trenches made by the French, German and British, abandoned and reoccupied.blown-to pieces and mined, mazes of wire entanglements completing the panorama. The British line has been hammered out of a number of curves and capers. The trenches swallow timber with the voracity of a speculative gold mine."
