PAIU5'. Sept. 1. The following f.clal statement way issued by the ctllce. Moni'.ay f-vpnlnc: "The situation us a whole is as lows: "The Vnsffos and Lorraine It be recalled that our forces who taken thfj offen-ive in the VosRes ofwar folwill had unci ope In Lorraine at the reclnnins of rations and drove the enemy hack beyond our frontier, received serious checks before Sarresbourj? and In the rejrion of Morhange, Ahere they came in contact with strongly defended positions. Thes troops were forced to fall back to reform themselves, one body on the preat crown of Nancy and the other in the French Voces'. The. Germans thereupon took the offensive. Our troops having successfully defended themselves have now resumed the offensive. Our attack has now been in progress for two days. The encasement is proceeding plowly, a.s it partakes of the nature of a sieue. The character of the fighting explains the slowness of our advance, which is nevertheless characterized daily by new local successes "In the vicinity of Nancy and Woevre Since the beginning of the campaign this Held, comprised between the cities of Metz on the German side and Verdun and Toul on the French side, has not been the theater of any important operations. lYench Were Checked. "Alonir the Meuse between Verdun and Meziercs It will be recalled that the French forces took the initiative In the direction of Lonpwy, Xeufohateau and Ialiseul. The troops operating near Aliencourt and Eonpwy wre checked by the enemy, led by the crown prince. In the vicinity of Xeufchateau and Paliseul certain of our troops experienced partial checks which forced them to fall back upon tho Meuse without, however, suffering any serious injury. This backward movement forced the troops operating about Spincourt also to retreat to the Mouse. In the last few days the enemy has sought to cross ths Mouse with considerable TRY FOR ELEGTJOfy Republican State Chairman of New York Says Roosevelt's Policies Are Dead Wants Party to Succeed. NEW YORK ?ept. 1. Asserting that Roosevelt policies are dead a. indicated by the recent Utioa convention. William Barnes Monday publicly eliminated himself as a candidate for re-election as chairman of the republican state committee In hi. valedictory Barnes pays his compliments to Cof. lloosevelt and t'ae progressives in the following language: "The issues raised by the progressive party in the year 191- were publicly abandoned at the meeiing of the state committee, held at Utica on the i'7th day of August last. Therefore the false theories advanced by it and primarily a constitutional amendment cluing for the recall of judicial decisions which if adopted would in effect vitiate the American people, of their individual liberty, are no longer matters for contention. "Accepting the sincerity of purpose of the progressive party in its antagonism to the mlsgovernment of the. ;rffairs of the state, that party having abandoned its nonrepubliean principles. 1 propose to remove from the campaign the only reason which it now asserts for its continued existence, namely, its personal opposition to me. "My dominating purpose is to see the party .successful upn the principle for which it stands and to permit fio one to interject my own personalis as false issue to this great struggle." COI.OXF.Ij SMIIiKS. OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. Sept. 1. The famous lloosevelt smile swamped the colonel's features when he heard of William Barnes decision to retire. Jle seemed immensely pleased. The bull moose chief had no comment to mako for quotation. To friends though. Col. lloosevelt sta d that he did not place much fad.i in the reasons the state chairman advanced. The colonel has a deep seated conviction that Mr. Barnes is not retiring of his own volition, but that he is getting out because of the continuous fight that has been waned upon h.ni. The co'.onel arrogates to himself a large share of the credit in forcing Barnes into retirement. CONFLICT OF INTERESTS CAUSED PRESENT WAR Germany Wanted to Dominate the AVorJcl and Is Try ins to Wreck the Entente. AMSTERDAM. Sept. 1. M. Troelftra. Dutch socialist reader. In an article in a leading socialist journal Favs the view held by socialists in Germany that actually the war is a war against F.usslan danger and czarism Is wrong. "The Herman .government," says Troelstra. "gnes the war the character of a war of defense auainst Russia, in order to make it popular among the whole German population, socialists included. The real motive for the war is found in the conflict of Germun and English interests. Germany vishes to dominate the world and to do this she rinds it necessary to wreck the triple entente. Recognizing this the Dutch socialist party regrets the attitude of their German confrees and it is felt that after the war the International Socialist league will have to be reconstructed."

Nevertheless new German forces have advanced near Kocroy, marching towards Hethel where at present a general battle is be'ng fought between the Meuse and Hethel. the outcome of which cannot be foreseen. Forced to Fall Hack. "Operations in the north he Franco-English forces moved first into the vicinity of Dinant. Charleroi and Mons. Partial checks . experienced by the forces of the Meuse near Givet obliged our troops to fall back, the Germans seeking continually to come upon us from the west. In these conditions our English allies attacked by an enemy greatly superior in number near Ca'.ua and Carl, had to retire towards the south, while our forces were operating to Avesnes d'Adesnes and Chimay. The retreat was prolonged through the following day. General battle was fought near St. Quenten and Vervins, at the same time that another battle was fought near I'errone. This battle was marked by an important success for us upon our right where we drove the Prussian guards and the tenth army corps into the river Oise. On the other hand because of the progress of the German right wing, where our adversaries had placed their best corps, we were obliged to make another movement of retreat. "To resume on right, after having experienced partial checks we have taken the offensive and the enemy is falling back before us. At the center we have experienced alternative checks and successes, but a general battle is now under way. On our left by a series of circumstances which turned in favor of the Germans and despite lucky counter attacks the Anglo-French forces were obliged to yield ground. Everywhere in spite of incontestable checks our armies remain intact. The moral condition of the troops continues excellent in spite of considerable losses which are being rapidly filled from regimental depots."
