The news from the Western front is not important in

the larger sense of the word. We have, however, had a very successful achievement from the moral, or rather fighting, point of view at Hoop. It may be remembered that on July 30th the Germans inflicted a considerable blow upon our troops at this point, and took a certain amount of ground. On Monday, however, we not only retook the lost ground, but made an advance, and on the whole greatly- strengthened our position. And this we accomplished with slight casualties to ourselves, but with heavy damage to the enemy. As the Times special correspondent says : "It was a really good success."
