DANCE BEFORE CHAULNES.
SLASHING AUSTRALIAN PART. LONDON, August 14. The 'Times" correspondent in Paris states that the special correspondent of "Le Matin" gives a lively account of the fight before Chaulnes. After Ms second rout the enemy returned, supported by machine guns in light motor ears. Our heavy guns, which were brought up all night long, blended thp.ir deep barks with the yapping of the lighter gnns. Then Australian shock troops joined in the dance, with slashing effect. Suddenly a great storm of hail and rain burst orer the field. The Germans emerged from cover, and were seen scampering like grey rats on all-fours, offering an irresistible mark to the gunners, who cut them to ribons.
