Lord Kitchener's statement. which was issued through the official information bureau follows;
 Although dispatches of Sir John French as to the recent battle nave no' been received it is possible now to state what has been the British share in the recent operations There has been a four days battle--on the 2Sd, 24th' 2otn and e6th of August. During the whole of this period the British, in conformity with a general movement of the frencn armies. we're occupied in resisting and checking the German advance In With drawing to new lines of defense ihe battle began as Mons Sunday, during which day and part of the night the German attacked stubbornly, and repeat edlv was completely checked by the Brit ;sb front On Monday. the 24th. the Ger mans made vigorous efforts in superior numbers to prevent the safe withdrawal of the British army and to drive il into the Fortress Maubeuge.
 GERMANS SUFFER
 l. HEAVY LOSSES
 This effort was frustrated by the stead mess and skill with which the British retirement was conducted and as on the previous day losses far in excess of any thing suffered by us were inflicted the enemy. who in dense formation and in enormous masses marched forward again and vel again to storm the British lines.
 ..,rhe British retirement proceeded on the 18th with continuous fighting, though not on the scale of the previous days and by the night of the 25th. the British army occupied the line of Cambrai. Lan- drecies and Lecateu. Cambrai is forti- fled town in the department of the north. s2 miles southeast of Lille on the River scheldt Lecateau is 14 miles east by southeast of CambraD. It had been in- tended to resume the retirement at day break on the 26th, but the German attack, in which no less than five army corps were engaged, was so close and fierce that it was not possible to carry out this intention until the afternoon.
 
 ..The battle on this day. the 26th, was severe and desperate The troops of fered superb and stubborn resistance to tremendous odds and at length extri- cated themselves in good order though with serious loss and under the heaviest artillery fire. No guns were taken by the enemy. except those the horse of which had been killed, or which were shattered by high explosive shells.
 General French estimates that during the whele of these operations from the 23d to the 26th, inclusive, his losses amounted to five or six thousand men. On the other hand, the losses suffered by the Germans in their attacks across the open. and through their dense forma- ton are out of all proportion to those we suffered. MACHINE GUNS

 Since the 26th a part of the cavalry fighting the British army has not been molested.
 Reinforeements amounting to double the losses sustained already have joined Every gun has been replaced, and the army is ready to take part in the next great encounter with undiminshed strength and undaunted spirits
 Today the news again Is favorable The British haze not been engaged but the French armies. acting vigorously on the right and left have for the time being. brought the German attacks to a sta.sdst'H
 Sir John French also reports that on the -Sth 1ne British Fifth cavalry bri- gade fought in brilliant fashion with German cavalry in which the Twelfth laneers and the Royal Scot Greys routed the enemy and speared a large number in flight.
 It must be remembered throughout that the operations in France are vast and that We are on only one wing of the whole field of battle. This strategic po- sition of ourselves and our allies are such whereas decisive victory for our armies in France probably would be fatal to the enemy, a continuance of resistance by the. Anglo French armies upon such q scale as to keep in the closest grip the enemy's best troops can. if prolonged. lead only to one conclusion"

 JOHN TlSDALE.
Matter Will Come Up Before Next May Be Offered Also.

John Clement yesterday filed with City Clerk Iousley a communication to be placed on the file gf the council proceedings, and to be brought before the regular session next week, con taining formal charges against Detec- tive Tisdale, who is charged with having used abusive language toward his mother, and with having drawn pistol on him when he approached Tisdale about the matter
 The affair is said to have grown out of the meeting by MT. Clement of some friends at a station, who took one of his cottages. Tisdale is accused of having made visit there subsequently, and of having asked Mrs Clement to step outside while he talked to the parties, and that when she refused to do so, he is al- legged to have used insulting remarks.
 The council, it is said will not only have the complaint presented but that Mir. Clement, his father, and other witnesses will be prepared to testify to what they know of the matter.
 Officer Tisdale yesterday made a general denial of the charges con tained, and indicated that in the in vestigation there would be another side of the story revealed.

final game Of the series with the Mar
shalltown Ansons yesterday was a
sweeping victory for the Muskies who
after being shut out four innings, land
ed on pitcher Matson for three doubles
and single, and scored five times. In
| this round, Bob" Hasbrook demon
strated some Clyde Milan work on the
paths by singing and stealing second
third and home.
The game was played under anything
but favorable conditions. In addition
to the cold air, which caused several Of
the men to work in sweaters and use
the pockets for mittens, the ground
| was so damp that the ball became ex-
tremely heavy and very hard to handle,
and several errors came as the result
of .muffs.
Ansons First to Score.

weather man of the Musky hl,rlers,
started on the mound for the locals and
despite the cold breeze handicap. re-
fused to be taken out. With one down,
in the first inning, "Chuck" gave Fos-
ter walk, which was responsible for
the first run Of the game, the veteran
reaching third on error by Hasbrook.
and scoring on single by Carrigan, who
was caught later sleeping at second.
Richards followed with the second hit
Of the game, and counted when Wetzel
dropped Vleu's long fly Lind then
held the visitors at bay until the sixth
inning, when Carrigan placed lucky
hit thru second and crossed the plate
on an error and Daley's safe one. The
Ansons started with revenge In the
