 LIMITED TO SCOUTING
 WASHINGTON. D. C.. May 18.-- An official report has been received from General Pershing which was made public by the war department tonight. In this report Gen. Persh. ing states that yesterdays fighting on the American front was limited to reconnaissance and intermittent ar tillery action. No infantry move ments of any importance are report ed as taking place along this DOT tion of the western front Several small parties went out into No Mans Land from the American trenches and harassed the German lines by sniping. The report also says there was increased aerial activity north of Foul and Lorraine. In these ac- tions the American aviators came out victorious. A great number of the enemy planes made bombing at tacks on these sections, but were driven off by the Yankees before any considerable damage was done.
 HAND-To.HAND FIGHTING
 BERLIN, May 1S.-An official re. port to the German imperial war of- flee tonight states that in great reconnoitering activity along the western front desperate hand-to-hand h6AtihS oSCuilCu' HCoC ShboSN- ments resulted in few minor gains to the German forces, mostly in the shape of prisoners taken. The re- port also asserts that on last Fri day sixteen allied airplanes and one captive observation balloon were shot down by German soldiers with anti.aircraft guns, while the air planes were brought to earth through the efforts of the German airmen.
 BIG GUNS ROAR
 PARIS, May 1S.-An official com munique to the French war office to- day says the big guns of the Teu- tons are roaring below Amiens. The enemy has kept up violent artil- lerying for the past several hours. Hundreds of shells are being thrown by the Germans in an effort to de molish the allied positions. These shells, however. are doing no materi- al damage to the entente lines along this section.
 | HEAVY ARTILLERY LONDON, May -Ofhcial-There is heavy artillery action being car ried on by both the allied and Ger man forces on the southern side of the Flanders salient between Gi- venchy and Robecq.

0RIENTALS ARE
 TO GUARD EAST
 FROM GERMANS

PARIS, May 18.-China and Japan have been informed by the allies that arrangements have been made to meet the dangers in the. Far East from German penetration. The plans have been laid for an entente milf. tary cooperative move to stop the Hun danger to the peace of the, East. This has long been under considera- tion by the allies, and they have no doubt delayed taking such step earlier on account of the fact that they wished to be convinced of Ger many's intention. Developments in the East tend to show that the Ger man empire has designs on those countries. ,. 4
 PURELY DEFENSIVE
 WASHINGTON. D. C.. May 1S.- The entente military cooperation that has been arranged to meet the German threat that the peace of the Far East is under will be a purely defensive measure. No az: gressive steps are expected to- be taken by the allies in this move. For the present the participation will be confined to the armies of China and Japan. These countries have been preparing for the past several months for such an action and now have everything in readiness to work in perfect accord with the allies plan The primary purpose of this measure is for the safeguarding of Manchuria. It may. however. be ex- tended to include Siberia, if it is thought necessary.

 AMERICAN AvIAToRs BUSY
 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. May 1S.-In series of engagements with enemy planes high in the air northwest of Foul, Ameri- can aviators shot down two Ger man airplanes. The fighting was very brisk between the opposing air fleets, but the Hun aviators were generated by the Yankees. Gain ing the ascendancy, the Americans managed to send two of the German airmen tumbling to their death. At
  were thousands of feet in the air The American victors, after the en- agreements. returned to their air dromes, where they were given a rousing welcome by their comrades. In the Luneville sector this morn ing the Germans attempted a vigor- ous silent raid on one of the Am erican combat groups. This was en- tirely to the American boys' liking, and they mingled with the Huns with joyous yells. The attacking Germans were badly beaten off, hay. ing suffered severe losses in their attempt to take few American prisoners.
 MANY BOMBS DROPPED
 LONDON, May 18.-In an official report rendered by Sir Douglas Haig today it is stated that a successful raid was made in broad daylight on Cologne by the allied military aviat- ors. The allies machines succeeded in dropping thirty-three bombs on the railway station at that town. Considerable damage was done. During the raid several hostile scouting planes. spying the allied machines. rose from the ground to give battle. In the engagement that ensued the enemy planes were all driven down out of control. All of the British machines returned in safety to the allied lines,
 AUSTRALIANS MAKE RAID LONDON. May 18.-In one of his numerous daily reports to the British war office, Sir Douglas Haig states that the Australians effected a sue cessful raid on the German lines south of Hulloch. The colonials were able to take the Boche forces entirely by surprise and effected the capture of the entire garrison with out suffering any casualties. The Germans put up very weak defense and seemed to much prefer capture to being killed.
 In the Morlancourt sector, the British troops made raid into the enemy trenches and succeeded in taking a number of prisoners. Two machine guns were also captured in this raid. The British remained but few moments in the enemy trench es, returning to their own lines be- fore endorsements could be rushed to the aid of the Germans.
 FRENCH ARE CONFIDENT
 PARIS, May 18.-The Petit Pari- sien, a leading French newspaper, says that the French are awaiting the expected German attack with the greatest confidence in their abili. ty to hold the Huns. There is no doubt among the French command CTS that they will be able to stop any advance the Germans attempt to make. During the Hull in the great battle the French army has been gradually strengthening it's positions.

EMBARGO ON SALE OF GOLD.
Jewellers VIII Get No More Bars
Until Further Notice.

An embargo on the sale of gold for
use in the arts was announced yester-
day by the United States Government
when the New York Assay Office on
orders from Washington refused to sell
any more gold bars to jewellers and
others until further notice.
This embargo will work a hardship
on the jewelry industry and is declared
to be due to the fact that the sale of
gold bars to the trade has recently
been so unprecedentedly large as to
arouse the suspicious of the Treasury
Department that the yellow metal is
being either boarded or taken for ex-
port, contrary to the regulations issued
by the Government relative to the ex-
port OF the metal.
For the twelve months ended June so
last a total of more than $4,000. 900 Of
gold. or nearly sl2.0oO,O00 over the
previous year. had been sold to the
jewelry trade.

In seeking deferred classification for
