AWFUL, CEASELESS CONTEST.
IMMENSE ARTILLERY CONCEN-
TRATIONS.
GREATEST ARMIES EVER
ENGAGED
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association}
London, August 13. The whole line in Flanders is wrapped in smoke from British and German shells.
The communiques give a very vague impression of the awful, ceaseless contest.
The artillery 'concentrations far outweigh those at Verdun and on the Somme, while the numbers of troops are the greatest gathered on any battlefield,
The enemy's artillery tortures our army, but ours is infinitely worse.
