Paris, Aug. 31.—^5;55 M.—r-The
following oSlcial state "was issued to
night by the war office:
“The situation in i?eneral is actual
ly as follows:
“First: In the Vosges and in l^oi-
raing, it must me remembered our
' forces, which had taken the offensivf?
at the beginning of the operations
and driven the enemy outside of our
frontiers, afterwards underw^ent seri
ous checks. Before Sarreburg and in
the region of Morhajne, where they
ercountered solid defensive works, jur
forces were abliged to fall back and
tr reform one part on Cournonne Oe
Nancy, and the other on the French
\’o»ges.

WAR IS ONE OF SIEVES.
*‘The Germans then assumed the
offensive, but our ^:roops after hav-
'‘■^rng thrown them back upon their po
sition, resumed the offensive two days
Mgo. This attack continues to m^ke
progress, althouprh slowly. It is
veritable war of sieges, a? ei^clj po
sition occupied is fortified immediate

“This explains the slowness of our
advance, which is nevertheless char
acterised each day by fresh local s-ic-
CfcSS.

WITHDRAWAL ON THE MEUSE.
“Third; In the dn-eetion of the
Meuse, >'«tween Verdun and Mezieres,
it will be remembered the French
forces took the offensive in the begin
ning toward LonRwy, Nenfehateau
and Paliseul. The troops operating in
the region of Spincourt and Long-
uyon have been able to cheffk the
enemy’s army under the command of
the German Crovi’r. 'Prince.
“In the regions of Neufehateau
and Paliseul, on the other hand, cer
tain of our troops have received par
tial checijs, which bhliged them to
retire upon the Meuse vrithout having
their orginazition broken >ip. This
ertiring movement has compelled the
forces operating in tlie neighborhood
of Spincourt to withdraw also towards
the Meuse.

GER.MANS MOVING ON V*'EST.
“The Germans seek continually to
move toward the V/est. It was under
these conditions that our English al
lies, attacked by the enemy ir. great
ly superior numbers in the region of
Le Coteau and Cambrai, have with
drawn toward the South, at the mo
rdent that our forces were aerating
in the district of Avesne?! and Chira-
ay. The retiring movemert was pro
longed during several days.
“In the meantime a general bat-
tlft took place in the legion of Quen
tin and Vej’vins, and at the same time
in the .Ham-Perronnes district. This
1-attIe 'was marked by an iriporlant
success by our right, where we have
thrown back the Prussion guard and
the tenth army corps into the Use,
GER.MAN RIGHT CO.MKS 0.\,
“Owing to the progress of the Ger
man right wing, where our adversaries
have united their best corps, we have
had to mark new retirement.
“On cur right after partial checks,
we have taken the offensive and the
enemy i? retiring before us.
“In the center we have had alte-n-
ative checks and successes, bua a gen
eral actioti is now being fought.
“On our left by a series of cireum-
stances which turned in favor of the
Germans and despite plucky counter
attacks, the Anglo-French forces were
obliged to give way. As yet oiir arm
ies, notwithstanding s> few incontest
able checks, remain intact.”

. 2? And one of the'scribes carhe. ard
having heard them reasorjing togkh-
er, and perceiving that he had an
swered them well, asked him, Which
is the first commandment of ail?
29 .\nd Jesus answered him. The
first of all the commandmeiits i-s, He.'»r,
0 Isimeh The Lord our God is one
Lord:
.‘iO And thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength; this is
tht' fir.'t commandment.
fll And the second is like, namely
; tnis, Thou shalt iove-thy neighbor as
thyself. There is none other co-ti~
1 mandment greater than tiiese.
i 32 And the scribe said unto hitn.
|V/ell, Master, thou has said the truth:
I for their is one God; and th^re h nore
j other but he:
I ol) And to love him with all thi‘
j heart, and with all the understandi"!.;.
and with alj the sou! and with all
the strenp:th, and to love his n?i^hhor
as himself, is more than all \\h-::]a
burnt offerings and sacrifices.
o4 Ardwhen Jesus sav/ that ho
an.sv/ered discreetly, he .said u'Jto iiini,
Thou are not far from the kingdoni
of God. And no man after i;hat
ask him r'ly quc.stion.
41 And Jesus sat over against
treasury, and behold how the peorle
cast money into the treasury; a*'d
many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain pt'Or
v.’idow, and threw in two nn:c^,
which jnake a farthing.

say unto you, That this poor widow
