capes Back to Lines Scouting Expeditions in Air Are
Successful
"WASHINGTON, June 1. After several repulses the Germans
apparently have abandoned, temporarily at least, their efforts to re
take the ground captured hy the Americans at Cantigny. General
Pershing's communique for today, issued tonight at the war depart
ment, said the day was quiet at all points occupied by the American
troops. The shooting down of another hostile airplane is reported.
The 'statement follows:
"The day was quiet at all points occupied by our troops.
"Our aviators shot down a hostile machine.".
WITH THE AMERICAN ARM YIN FRANCE, June 1. Aside
from aerial activity in the Toul sector the reports from the various
fronts on which the Americans are stationed, state there hare been
no unusual events in the last 24 hours. The artillery activity
around Luneville and Toul has been far below normal.
In the air, American pursuit pilots engaged in several combats.
One airman reported that he had shot down a German plane, but
as this occurred a considerable distance inside the German lines
confirmation could not be obtained.
Another reconnaisance plane flew over, the German trenches at
a height of 200 meters for observation purposes. It was the target
for a heavy fire, but returned safely, its mission having been
achieved.
Our reconnaissance planes accomplished numerous successful
missions under the protection -of pursuit machines. One suddenly
swooped down from tho clouds and fired 140 rounds into enemy
communicating trenches filled with men. The Germans returned a
hot fire and the plane got back to its own lines with a number of
bullet holes in it. -
