French Brand Report of
GLORIOUS Vaux Attack"
False in Every Way

Paris, March 10. - An official note
has been issued calling on Germany
to deny the statement made in Ger
man official communications March 3
that "the village and armored fort of
VauX were captured in a glorious
night attack under the leadership of
General Won Guertsky Cornitz.' This
assertion the note says, is in every
way false.
The French official note says;
German official dispatches of
March affirm that in glorious night
attack the Rosen reserve regiments
numbers and 10, under command of
the Infantry General Won Guertsky,
stormed the fort of VauX with a num-
ber of adjacent fortif1cations. This
assertion is false in every way. At
the very hour when the German COM
found that the fort of VauX had not
been attacked and that the soldiers
guarding it were calmly at their posts.
THE same communication asserts
further Cd that German troops are
engaged in clearing French troops
still remaining out of CorbeauX wood;
CID that the Germans stormed the
village of NauX. These assertions are
both untrue. At the present moment
the enemy only occupies the eastern
extremity of CorbeauX wood, the
greater part of which is held by us.
All German counter dJIdChS ldlleu 10
drive us from it. The village of VauX
attacked during the night was vigor-
ously defended and remains in our
hands. The German infantry which
succeeded in getting into the village
were all driven out at the point of the
bayonet.
'It has been remarked that since
the failure of the Germans against
Verdun, German official communica-
tions are full Of false statements. Thus
when the French troops withdrew
from Fresnes, the German communi-
cation stated on March that 500
French prisoners had been taken and
then on March that the number
amounted to over 700. The garrison
of Fresnes was less than 700 altogether
and was able to withdraw from the
village without great difficulty.
In the attack on Forges, Regneville
and Corbeaux wood, the Germans de-
clared that they had made prisoners
5S officers and 3,277 men all un-
wounded"

ing of attack from the region of
Bethincourt and Goose Hill to the
SCARED backgrounds OF Douaumont
and VauX came with seeming uneX-
pectedness. and according to Berlin
achieved substantial results in the
region of VauX.
An official statement from Paris to-
day, however, emphatically contradicts
the German claim TO the capture of
the fort and village of VauX. The fort
was not even attacked, the war office
asserts, and while German infantry
did succeed in entering NauX they
were subsequently driven out, the
village remaining in French hands.
Similarly Paris declares the greater
part of CorbeauX wood where des-
perate fighting has been taking place,
remains for the greater part in French
hands, despite the German intima-
ton to the contrary.
There are signs of renewed activity
on the western front as the Spring
approaches. The Russians and Ger
mans have been feeling out each
others lines at various points, small
isolated engagements resulting. The
most important move on the northern
end of the line seems to have been a
German effort to cross the Dvina river
about Dvinsk. The considerable force
engaged in this effort was dispersed
by the Russian fire, Petrograd claims.

TO ENLARGE
COLONIAL CLUB
New Ballroom in Specifica-
lions; Sun Parlor and
Enclosed Porch

At meeting of the Colonial Coun-
try club last evening c. II. Hunter
submitted plans for enlarging the
clubhouse and arrangements were
made to carry them out. Mr.. Hunter
also presented means for raising the
necessary money. He suggested the
selling of Good Fellowship stock in
shares of $50 each and advises the
crediting to this fund of one-half of
the initiation fee to the subscriber who
brings in new members. BY this
method, he believes, interest in in
creasing the membership of the club
will be stimulated.
Mr.. Hunter suggested that the inn
proVements include a new ballroom
about forty feet wide and the entire
length Of the present porch, enclos-
ing the porch in some suitable man
second floor is to be enlarged and a
sun parlor at the west end of the
building is also to be built. A new
porch outside the proposed ballroom
is suggested.
Another improvement mentioned is
the building of garage and the re-
arrangement of the driveways of the
grounds. The old lockerroom which
was used by the men is recommended
for the use of women.
During the evening reports of the
the club elected five new governors
as follows: ]. w. Bowman, d. f. Ira
cey, II. w. Stone, John c. Orr, and
S. B. Nissley. A. II. Bailey presided

which refreshments were served.

Improved Situation at
Verdun Cheers France
Rr AsSncintcd Prey.

Paris, March 10. The situation
at Nerdun is regarded as much bet
ter, from the French viewpoint, as a
result of yesterdays fighting. The
public is greatly cheered by reports
of successful resistance on the part
of the defenders of the fortress Not
withstanding an enormous eXpendi-
ture of ammunition and unstinted
sacrifice of life the Germans have fail
ed to bend, much less break, the blue
line.
The inference drawn by the general
public is that the German wave has
advanced as far as is in its power
without further wasteage on a large
scale, which the German general staff
hesitates to make, with four army
corps already put out of action In the
struggle of eighteen days.
Exhausted by three days of violent
efforts, the assailants called a respite
to replenish their deplted ranks of
infantry The French took advan-
tage of the respite to sweep out the
Germans still remaining in CorbeauN
wood.
