Dispensers of fake oil and coal stock have been operating widely throughout the country and victimis ing many people with the argument that fuel needs of the government in the emergency of war demand the development of new oil wells. In formation from Washington tells of the launching of a nation-wide plan to minimize the fraud, and to this end the American Bankers' associa tion, the Investment Bankers' asso ciation, the United States Chamber of Commerce and the Associated Advertising clubs are co-operating. It Is said that the fake operators offer to exchange their stock for lib erty bonds. While some of the bogus oil companies have sent their agents into this state they have been de tected soon enough to be thwarted by publicity.

While there has been no attempt by the Germans at a general retreat, an Indication that a retreat Is pur posed Is shown by the fact that the enemy Is using comparative'y small forces of Infantry on various sectors, depending mainly on his machine gunners to retard the progress of the allies. In France and Flanders the Brit ish have been compelled to withstand several violent attacks by the Ger mans, near Ifebuterne and in the vicinity of Meteren. The enemy In both sectors was repulsed with heavy casualties.

Only mutual bombard meats were in progress. Along the Marne and southwest of Rheims the allied troops are still at deadly grips with the enemy. The Germans strove bard to hold back the French and American troops In the forest north of the Marne, debouching from the woods in strong counter-attacks. The en emy everywhere was forced farther back and the forests have been al most entirely cleared of Germans- Southwest of Rheims heavy rein forcements have been thrown along the front. In the region of Reull, where the battle line turns sharply toward Rheims, the French have cap- lured several points of vantage. In clndin gthe village of Reull. They have advanced northward, notwtth standing the violence of the counter move. To the northeast, where the Ger mans are facing the Rritlsh. the Ger mans have recaptured Mery and Hill 204. but the KrlHsh have retained their hold on Vrlrny and most of the other territory taken In that region East ward from Rheims In Cham pagne. the French have now regain ed nearly all their old line positions and dally art harassing the German with counter attacks.
