Winter Rigours.
Worse than the Fighting.
SILENT GUN IN REQUISITION.
LONDON, November 25
• A message dated Monday, from an eye-witness of. events in Flanders,, states that the cold is affecting both sides more, than the operations do. The men a<re no longer suffering the misery of mud and slush, but at night in the trenches many become rigid with cold and have to be carried out. Others are taken to the hospitals with frostbite. Aviators, after reconnaissances, 'have to be lifted out of their machines.
The artillery bombardment continues "day and night. The enemy'is using forty-two centimetre howitzers; also a new gun whose discharge is silent.
