ALLIES TURNING GERM AN WING.

LONDON, Sept 2O-Reports re- ceved here from France, indicate that the allied troops are gradually turning the right wing of the Ger man line of defense and if this is accomplished, it will mean the forced retirement of a large Ger man command, or the taking of many German prisoners.
 The success of the battle of the Aisne, which is now being fought will largely depend upon which side gets the most endorsements within short time, for both sides are exhausted with the struggle.
 Advices that have been received here tell of hard hand-to-hand struggle fought between parts of the opposing armies yesterday This fight was after the long-continued artillery duel had subsided to some extent It was the most severe struggle between the infantry of the opposing armies that has taken place since the war started, The latest reports received here indicate that the struggle is still being waged, ana it's result is still in doubt.
 The Germans have been entrench- ed in concealed batteries in semi circle on one side of Rheims, and from this place they continue a terrific bombardment.
 Both the allies and the Germans about Rheims have strong positions, and are stubbornly defending them.
 Detailed descriptions of the bat tie of Aisne state that the rain, which has been balling heavily, forming in streams on the ground, runs into the river colored with the blood of the dead and wounded.
 The monster Olympic pavilion, where the French held their notable horse shows. has been converted into a big military prison.
