THE WESTERN FRONT.
BATTLE OF TRONES WOOD. MOST OBSTINATE OF THE WAR. HOW THE HUNS WERE TRAPPED. (Reuter's Telegram.) LONDON, July 13. Reuter's French correspondent says the battle of Trones Wood is probably the bloodiest and most obstinate of the war. The British and the Germans are m equally tenacious mood m the mass of trenches. A British brilliant attack carried most of the wood. The Germans made several furious counter-at-tacks, and then the British batteries opened, followed by another chai'ge. There was a terrible melee, m which, the Gei*mans were I'einforoed. Finally, alftei' six hours' of hand-to-hand fighting, the British neatly trapped the enemy by I advancing m crescent formation like a Zulu impi. They forced the Germans to run to eacape annihilation.
