The following official statement was issued tonight by the war office: J ; i "The situation in general is actual ly as follows: j ! i "First: In the Vosges and in Lor raine, it must be remembered our forces, which had taken thej offensive at the beginning of the operations and driven the enemy outside of jour fron tiers, afterwards underwent serious checks. Before Sarreburg and -in the region of Morhajne, where j they en countered solid defensive works, our forces were obliged to fall jback and to reform; one part on Cournonne De Nancy, and the other on the French Voskes. j : ! "The Germans then assumed the of fensive, but our troops after having thrown them batkipon their position, resumed the offensive two days ago. This attack continues to make prog ress, although slowly. It is a verit able war of sieges, as each position occupied is fortified immediately. "This explains the slowness of our advance, which is nevertheless char acterized each day by fresh local suc cesses. -. .'" K . . Second: The region of Nancy and Southern Woevre, since the beginning of the campaign in this section, be tween Metz on the German J side and Toul and Verdun on the French side has not been the theatre of important operations. "Third : In the direction of the Meuse, between Verdtm anil Mezieres, it will be remembered the French forces took the offensive in the begin ning toward Longwy, Neufchateau and Pali3eul. The troops operating in the region of Spinoourt and Longuyon have been .able to check the enemy's army under the. command of the Ger man Crown Prince. j "In the regions of Neufchateau and Paliseul, on the other hand, certain of our troops have received 1 partial checks which obliged them j to retire upon the Meuse without haying their organization broken up. This retiring movement has compelled the forces operating in the neighborhood of Spin court to withdraw also towards the Meuse. " j' ; "During the last few 'days the en emy has endeavored to spread out from the Meus with considerable forces, but by a vigorous counter of fensive they were repelled with very great lossesr In the meantime fresh forces of Germans advanced to the "district of Rocreoy (in Ardenues.) marching in the direction of Relhel. Now a general action is taking place between the Meuse and Rethel, and is still impossible to see definitely the issue of this. j ; I ; "Fourth: Operations in the North; the French and British froces origi nally took up positions in the Dinant and Charleroi country and at Mons They endured several repulses and the forcing of the Meuse by the Ger1 mans near Givet. . i "The Germans seek continually to move toward the West. It was under these conditions that our English al lies, attacked by the enemy is greatly superior 'in numbers in the .region ot Le Coteau and Cambrai, have with drawn toward the South, at the mo ment that our forces were 'operating in the district of Avesnes and Chimay. The retiring movement was prolonged during several days. . J "In the meantime a general battle took place in the region of St. Quentin AN -ANNUITANT WRITES "Since investing in your annuity, I have had no anxiou3, harrassing, tor menting thoughts about myj financial affairs. I have, been relieved of the fear of becoming a tax on younger lives or a charitably received inmate of 1 another's home. My life (has been lengthened by the freedom from worry and anxiet which often makes old .age a burden itself." . j , . National Life Insurance Co. of Vt. (Mutual) ! H. M. HUMPHREY State Mgr.

Butte, Mont., Aug. 31. Miners open ly threatened tonight to lay the towr in ashes if either State or I Federal troops attempt to enter Buttei One of the miners leaders declared jthey did - not purpose to fight the soldiers, but they would wreak vengeance upon the business men for bringing the soldiers to Butte. i : "We have quantities of dynamite and oil," said one leader, "and the troops will find ashes." Hitherto, the majority of the miners have not cred ited the report that the militia was being mobilized as the local newspa pers withheld the news on request of business men who feared that its pub lication would excite the miners. But today a Helena editor brought an automobile load of newspapers to Butte for sale and news boys oon be gan crying the news of the mobiliza tion. "j ' -t . '. Calls immediately went forth from President "Muckie" MacDonald and the other leaders for a secret meeting of the union miners. Later a committee of miners was sent to the railroad depots to see if the troops had arrived. ' County Attorney J J.

This bat tle was marked by an important suc cess by our right, where we have thrown back the Prussian guard and the tenth army corps into the: line. "Owing to the progress of the Ger man right wing, where our adver saries have united their best corps, we have had to mark new retirement. "On our right after partial checks, we have taken the offensive and the enemy is retiring before us. j "In the center we have had alterna tive checks and successes, butj a gen eral action is now being fought.: "On our left by a series of circum stances which turned in favor of the Germans and despite plucky counter attacks, the Anglo-French forcesywere obliged to give way. As yet our ar mies; notwithstanding a few- incontest able checks, remain intact." Paris, Aug. 31. 3:15 p. m. It is officially announctd that the Minister of War, M. Millerand, accompanied by General Gallieni, military governor of Paris, today inspected the northeast front of the entrenchment camp at Paris and congratulated General Gal lieni on the rapid progress 1 of the work on the supplementary defences.

To the United States Buying German Liners FOR MERCHANT MARINE Pointed Out That Move Looking To ward Abandonment os Islands Would be Invitation to Jap anese to Enter. Washington, Aug. 31. -"The nations involved in the war in the eastern straggle have many inttrcsts and ter ritorial possessions in close proximity to the Philippnes, and to discuss the disposition of the Philippines at this time jwould be impolitic and extremely unwise," declared a minority report of the house insular affairs committee today on the pending Philippine inde pendence bll. j The report signed by the Republi cans of the committee, declares Japan might seize all of Germany's Pacific possessions. . .. . ,"A! distinguished Japanese" (said the report, "once observed that the Philippine archipelago is but a con tinuation of their - own. Territorially we are in close 'relations with Japan, one of the nations now at war. j "Still closer are our territorial re lations ' with Germany. The Samoan islands, in the south Pacific, are di vided among England, Germany and the United States. ."Hawaii, . with 191,000 population, has 80,000 Japanese and only 10,000 Americans. This group of islands in ,the center of the Pacific probably is the most desirable strategic point in the world. 1 "It is true Japan . has stated that her offensive operations would be con fined I to Kaio-Chow, but why should they, from Japan's point of view? If angered by stubborn resistance, se vere losses and pressed by an already aroused war spirit among her people, Japan should seize all of Germany's Pacific possessions no one would be surprised; - : . 'To enter on debate in which all our relations and interests in the Pacific would be discussed and our rights in the Philippines, Hawaii, Samoa and Guam, challenged, would be to en courage disregard for our interests and lead nations with opposing inter ests to believe that the United States would not go far in defense of pos sessions so lightly regarded by those in control of this government. To make the world btlieve we are anxious to get rid of the Philippines is to in vite aggression wheh would j(mean war.", -.' j The report was signed by Repre sentatives Towner, Iowa, Miller, Min nesota; ;(Fess Ohio; Young, North Dakota; Peters, Maine, and Freas, of Wisconsin, who ""advocated immediate legislation to meet commercial emer gency needs in the Philippines. j Mary ickf ord In The Eagle's Mate' 5 part Famous Players Crystal Wednesday and Thursday.

The Am erican liners Manchuria and China, of the Pacific Mail Steamship company's oriental fleet, were halted by British warships off Hong Kong and forced to surrender 60 German and Austrian reservists bound for the European war from the Philippines. This' was the news brought by Captain Thomp son and Purser Landers, of the China, which arrived here today bound" for San Francisco. r ; . ; According to officers of the China, the Germans and Austrians bejfore starting on their journey, asked for and Tecefved assurances from Wash ington that they could not be molested on an American registered vesjsel. Then they took passage for San Fran cisco via Hong Ko.ng, Shanghai, Nag asaki and Honolul. On arriving at Hong Kong, the ves sels were halted by ships of the Brit ish fleet, the passengers were sum moned for inspection and required to give their nationality at the call of the Purser's roll.

It Carranza's Action Menaces Food Supply of City FUNSTON IS DISTURBED Some Hold That It Is Resentment at Continued Occupation by Our Troops, But Washington Holds Otherwise. Washington, Aug. 31 Provisional President Carranza has ordered the port of Vera Cruz closed, according to official advices to the American government. General Funston trans mitted a long report on the complica tions which might result, but state de partment officials were not inclined to regard it as an unfriendly action During the Huerta regime Vera Cruz was similarly closed, but foreign ves- stls paid little attention to the order Carranza's decree would prevent Mexican ships from putting in at Vera Cruz, and if enforced in an unfriendly way might exact heavy penalities from foreign vessels entering any other Mexican port after they touched at Vera Cruz. General Funston called attention to the possibility that for eign ship owners desiring not to incur the displeasure of the Carranza ad ministration- might hesitate to send cargoes to Vera Cruz diminishing the food supply of the city. In some quarters there was a dis position to regard Carranza's attitude as one of resentment against the con tinued occupancy of Vera Cruz by American troops, but state department officials did not share this View. Paul Fuller, personal representative of President Wilson, is due in Mexico City tomorrow to discuss with the government there questions relating to the American occupancy of Vera Cruz as well a3 differences between Carranza and Villa.

There are 80,000 Japanese There Against 10,000 Cit izen of United States WHY INVITE AGGRESSION? French, Russian and British Diplo mats at Washington 3Iake Strong Representations to Wilson and Bryan. Washington, Aug. 31. Great Brit ain, France and Russia have advised the United States informally that the would look with disfavor on the pur chase by this government of German merchant steamers to relieve condi tions growing out of the European war and also to build up an American merchant marine. While not conveyed in any diplomatic correspondence, their position nevertheless has been vigorously set forth to President Wil son and Secretary Bryan. France took the initiative, Ambas sador Jusserand carrying his objec tions to President Wilson in his re cent interview at the White House. George Bahkmeteff , the Russian am bassador, conferred with the British and French ambassadors today and later saw Secretary Bryan. All three diplomats held that there was no prec edeill in international law for the pur chase by a neutral nation of any great quantity of ships from a belli gerent. The chief objection urged is that the transaction would establish a large gold credit in the hands of Germans. The diplomats point out that the German steamship companies are closely affiliated with the German gov ernment and to buy their ships, now marooned in American ports, would be tantamount to furnishing Germany with a large loan. Should tht Ameri can government, however, distribute its purchases of ships equally among the belligerent nations, they do not believe there would be objection from any quarter. Considerable difficulty would arise. hewever, it is asserted, if, for in stance, the crew of a German vessel purchased by the United States were maintained on it as the English and French government's would not allow the nationals of any belligerent to land from neutral ships at their ports. The European diplomats have en deavored to point out that they desire in no way to interfere with the up building of an American merchant' marine and wish it success in neutral countries, but they think the , Ameri can government's shiDs could not be available for commerce with the bel ligerent countries of Europe.
