Enormous Munition Captures.
IMPORTANT HEIGHT TAKEN. Received this (lay, 1.10 p.m. London, July 31,. Keuter's correspondent at Am erican headquarters, writing on Tuesday eveening, says the Butte de Chalmont lias been tlie centre of the enemy resistance on the west of the salient and its cap ture by the Allies brings /much needed assistance to the flank of the American line at Seringes. It will certainly be a costly business to take the forest of*Nesles, but there are alternative possibilities in the open ground west of the railway now that the Butte de Chalmont is in our hands. : It is still impossible to estimate the .enemy's lenormous losses in munitions. The forest roads are bordered with shells for miles. Dumps covering acres and piled to the height of a man have been discovered.
