Paris, Sept. 26-The bloodiest fight
ing of the great battle of the Aisne
is going on along the German right
wing where the British and French are
struggling furiously to surround and
cut off the army of General Won Kluck
The French have swung round a
gigantic circle and are now delivering
a series of fierce attacks upon the sol

Quentin and more than 20 miles north
northeast OF Paris. In it's turning

withdraw.

terrific attacks against the allies cen.
ter, in the vicinity of Reims. in an
attempt to pierce it, but the French
and the British, who were rushed to
