The Complete Statement
The Statement reads.

The statement reads:
No new main trial of strength has
taken place. There have, indeed, been
battles in various parts of the i'm
mense fronts, which in other wars
would have been considered opera
tions of the first magnitude. But in
this war, they are merely incidents
of stragetic withdrawal and contrac-
ton of the allied forces caused by the
initial shock on the frontier and in
Belgium and by the enormous
strength which the Germans have
thrown into the west theatre while
suffering heavily through weakness in
the eastern.
THE British expeditionary army has
conformed with the general movement
of the French forces. and acted in
harmony with the stragetic coneep-
lions of the French generalstaff.
Since the battle at Cambria on Aug.
26, where the British troops success
fully guarded the left flank of the
whole line of French armies from a
deadly turning attack supported by
an enormous force. The seventh
French army has come into operation
on the British left.
This, in conjunction with the Fifth
Army on our right, has greatly taken
the strain and pressure off our left.
The fifth French army in particular,
on Aug. %, advanced from the line
of the Disc river to meet and counter
the German forward movement and
a considerable battle developed to the
town of Guise. The French gained
marked and solid success. driving back
with heavy loss and in disorder three
German army corps.
In spite of this success, the gen
eral retirement to the south continued
and the German armies, seeking per-
sistently after the British troops. re-
NAMED in practically continuous con-
tact with our rear guard.
During the whole of this period,
marching and fighting have been con-
tinuous, and in the whole period the
British casualties, according to the
latest estimates. have amounted to
about $1,000 officers and men.
The fighting having been in open
order upon a wide front, with repeat
ed retirements, has led to large num-
Der of officers and men, and even
small parties losing their way and get
ting separated 1t is known that a very
considerable number of those included
in the total will rejoin the coiors
safely.
These losses if heavy in so small
force, have in no wise affected the
spirit of the troops. They do not
amount to onethird of the losses in
ficted by the British force upon the
enemy and the sacrifices required of
the army has not been out of proper
ton to it's military achievements.
Drafts of 1900 men have reached
our army or are approaching the men
on the line of communication and ad-
vantage has been taken of the five
quiet days that have passed since the
action of Sept. to fill up the gaps and
re-fit and consolidate the units.
The British army is now south of
the Marine and is in line with the
French forces on the right and left
