ALLIES PRESSING THE GERMAN RIGHT WING.
ENEMY UNABLE TO PREVENT TURNING MOVEMENT ATTEMPT TO BREAK THE ALLIES' LINE IN THE SOMME. (Received October 2, 12.5 ».m.) London, September 30. The correspondent of the Daily Mail at Paris states that the Germans for a fortnight have been struggling to avoid having their right wing turned. They have kept pushing their front further north-west, the allies always overlapping them. Both sides have brought up very large reinforcements, necessitating long forced marches. French troops again and again marched 20 miles daily. » The Germans on Saturday realised that their efforts were in vain, and altered their plan. They then tried to break the allies' line at Albert, north-east of Amiens.
