PARIS, Sept. 1—The following statement has beon issued by the War Office: . “The situation in general is actually as follows: “First—In the Vosges and in Lorraine, it must be remembered, our forces which had taken the offensive at the beginning of the operations and driven the enemy outside of our frontier, afterward underwent serious © checks. Before Saarburg and In the region of Morhagne, where they en- countered very solid defensive works, our forces were obliged to fall back and to reform, one part on Couronne de Nancy, and the other on the French Vosges. “The Germans then assumed the offensive, but our troops after having thrown-them back upon their positions resumed the offensive two days ago. This attack continues to make progress, although slowly. It is o veritable war of sieges, as each position occupied is immediately fortified. “This explains the slowness of our advance, which is, nevertheless characterized each day by fresh local successes. “Second—in the region of Nancy and Southern Woevre, since the be- ginning of the campaign, this section, between Metz on the German side and Toul and Verdun on the French side, has not been the theatre of im- portant operations. “Third—In the direction of the Meuse between Verdun and Mesteres, it will be remembered that the French forces took the offensive in the be- ginning toward Longwy, Neufchateau and Paliseul. The troops operating in the region of Spincourt and Longuyon have been able to check the enemy’s army under the command of the German Crown Prince. “In the regions of Neufchat and Paliseul, on the other hand, cer- | tain of our troops have received Jal checks, which obliged them to re- tire upon the Meuse, without having their organization broken up. . This | retiring movement has compelled the forces operating in the neighborhood | of Spincourt to withdraw toward the Meuse. “During the last few days the enemy has endeavored to spread out from the Meuse with considerable forces, but by a vigorous counter offensive they were repelled with very great losses. In the meantime fresh forces of Germans advanced to the district of Rocroy (in Ardennes), marching in the direction of Rethel. Now a general action ts taking place between the ‘ Meuse and Rethel, and it is still impossible to see definitely the issue of this. “Fourth—Operations in the north: The French and British forces orig. ] q inally took up positions in the Dinant and Charleroi country and at Mons, They endured several repulses and the forcing of the Meuse by the Ger mans near Givet, upon our flank, compelled our troops to retire. | “The Germans seek continually to move toward the west. It was un- der these conditions that our English allies, attacked by the enemy ia greatly superior numbers, in the region of Le Gateau and Cambral, have withdrawn toward the district of Avesnes and Chimay. The retiring move ment was prolonged during several days. “In the mean time a general battle took place in the region of St. Quen- F’ tin and Vervins, and at the same time in the Ham-Peronne district.
