FINE WORK BY THE BRITISH AT YPRES.
(Received November 30th. 11-10 p.m.) LONDON*, November 30. The "Daily Chronicle's ,, Calais correspondent says that although tho week has been comparatively uneventful, hundreds have been killed in skirmishes and minor operations, which official reports ignore. Amongst these tras tho British razing of tho largest, forest near Ypres, which afforded excellent cover for tho Germans attacking our trenches. Tho task demanded unflinching valour, but tho volunteer* for it exceeded requirements. After hard fighting, which «as cleverly confined to tho forest itself, the Germans were expelled from carefully-eonstruct-ed entrenchments, losing a thousand killed daily throughout tho treek. The Germans' guns largely assisted in the demolishing of the forest.
