LONDON, 13th August. The whole line in Flanders is wrapped in the smoke of British and German shells. The communiques give only a very vague impression of the awful and ceaseless contest of artillery. The concentrations of guns far outweigh those of Verdun and the Somme; and th« numbers of troops are the greatest ever gathered in any battlefield. The enemy's artillery tortures our army; but ours is infinitely worse.
