FLANDERS FURY.
GREATEST BATTLE IN HISTORY. INTENSE ARTILLERYING. United Service. (Received This Day, Noon). LONDON, August 13. The whole line in Flanders is wrapped in the smoke from British and German shells. Communiques give a very vague impression of the awful ceaselcssness of the contest. The artillery concentrations far outweigh those at Verdun and the Somme, and the numbers of troops are the greatest gathered on any battlefield. The enemy’s artillery tortures the army, but ours is infinitely worse. NOTHING DOING. * (Received This Day, 2 p.m.) LONDON, August 13. Marshal Haig has nothing special to report.
