No Infantry Attacks Made

GERMAN CLAIMS OF
VICTORY DENIED
Fort Vaux, Reported Taken,
Not Even Attacked Is
Paris Statement

London, March 10. - A momentary
letup in the desperate infantry fight
ing about Verdun is reported today
from Paris. The Germans have not
again attacked on either bank of the
sMeuse, 1t is announced, but violent
bombardmentS Of the defenses con
tinues, indicating that the respite
probably Is to be brief.
An official statement from Paris to-
day emphatically contradicts the Ger
man claim to the, capture Of the fort
and village Of Vaux. The fort was
not even attacked, the war ONCE as.
serts, and while German infantry did
succeed in entering Vaux, they were
subsequently driven out, the village
remaining In French hands.
Paris declares the greater part OF
Corbeaux wood, where desperate fight
ing has been taking place, remains in
French hands.
There are signs of renewed activity
on the eastern front as the spring up.
proaches..
The most important move on the
northern end OF the line seems to have
been a German effort to cross the
pvina river above Dvinsk. The consid
cradle force engaged In this effort was
dispersed by the Russian fre. Petro

: FRENCH PLEASED.

Paris, March 10.-The situation at
Verdun Is regarded as much better
from the French viewpoint, as q re-
suit Of yesterdays fighting. The pub,
lie is cheered. by reports OF successful
resistance by defenders Of the for
tress. Notwithstanding an enormous
expediture of ammunition and un-
stinted sacrifice of life, the Germans
have failed to bend, much less break,
the blue line.
The inference drawn is that the
German wave has advanced as far as
Is in It's power without further vast
age on larger scale, which the Ger
man general staff hesitates to make,
with four army corps already put out
of action in the struggle Of eighteen
days.
sExhausted by three days of violent
efforts, the assailants called rest to
replenish the depleted ranks of infan-
try. The French took advantage OF
the respite to sweep out the Germans
still remaining in Corbeaux wood and
in this effort were most successful.
Discussing the attack directed
from Les Caurettes, about mile
down the Bethincourt-C Cumieres road,
against the Germans, an officer OF
light infantry said:
II had never seen my men go at
the enemy with such fury. They
cleared my section of the Cumieres
wood in less than an hour.
AT one point on the opposite edge
Of the wood, German machine gun
was posted in a ditch, protected by
breastworks of felled trees. It poured
q deadly fire into us. A sergeant and
twenty men voluteered to drive out
the enemy.
Advancing by leaps and bounds
from tree to tree they got in among
the Germans with bayonets. They
took the gun and turned 1t about,
starting q raking fire on the Germans.
This did not last long for they soon
jammed the gun in their enthusiasm.
"By early afternoon virtually the
whole wood was in the hands of the
French. The Germans, however, pre-
pared another onslaught which began
at dusk. The fighting lasted all night
and most of Thursday. The Germans
steadily lost ground until at nightfall
of yesterday they retained bare
footing in the wood.
"The German commander hurled
troops against the village Of Vaux,
hoping to carry 1t by storm and seize
La Caillette wood. Brigade after
brigade dashed against the French
front but French counter attack
soon drove them out. With nightfall
came heavy snowstorm which ham
pered further operations @

HOGS At RECORD MARK.
Scarcity Of Offerings at tho Chicago
Market Causes the Price to Go
Above Ten Dollars.

Chicago, March 10.-Owing to
scarcity of supplies the hog market
today jumped up twenty-five cents to
$1O.O5 a hundred pounds. This Is
S3.55 above the low point Of Decem-
Der % and is eighty-five cents over
the price of week ago.
With the exception of two semi
famine periods in September, 1914,
and August, 1910, todays quotations
were the highest that hogs ever
brought in Chicago.
Only $4,000 hogs were received here
today although $4,000 were expected.

ALLIES TO MAKE
SPRING DRIVE IN
BALKAN REGION
CORRESPONDENCE FROM sALoNI.
kI INDICATES OFFENSIVE
MOVES FOR MAY.

Saioniki, Feb. Sc Correspondence
OF The Associated Press } - The great
Balkan offensive of the allied armies
IS popularity believed to be arranged
Tor the first week in May. Should
weather conditions prove exceptional
~ favorably it may occur even earlier.
That 1t will take place soon. no one m
Salonlk1 doubts. The only thing that
can stop 1t Is for the Germans and the
bulgarians to move frst-and there is
little belief in this contingency.
The increasing stores Of munitions
ana supplies arriving in this port, the
canstant hard work of Gen. Sarrail and
his stan, the activity of the allies
scouts and aeroplanes and the high
spirits Of the French and British
soldiers and the eagerness of the
Serbs to get themselves in lighting
trim again at the earliest possible
moment add the conviction that an
allied offensive from Saloniki in the
spring is a certainty.
There are today some, 81, 900 French
and 100000 British troops here which
Is about man to every foot and q
half Of offensive line to be held. Be-
sides the British and French, there are
$4,000 Serbs in Saloniki and along the
Greek frontier There are also said to
be some fifteen thousand more French
on their way from Marseilles, making
a total of 100000 allied troops as a
garrison for Saloniki, not counting the
personnel Of the warships stationed in
the harbor.
BIT there Is more to indicate the i'm
minence of Balkan offensive on the
part OF the entente in the spring than
q mere enumeration of available
troops. Every preparation to this end
has been made long since. The French
naval mission under Commander Picot,
the British naval mission under Ad-
miral Towbridge, not to speak Of the
Russian marines under Lieut.. Volko-
whisky and the French aerial squad
ron, were not idle during their stay In
Serbia the first year of the war.
Roads were inspected, the peculiarly
inaccurate Balkan maps, which alone
are obtainable, were checked and
brought up to date and the whole sit
uation was minutely exalnined and re-
ported upon, In view Of just such q
contingency as general Balkan often
sive through Serbia at some later date.
All of this data is now in the hands of
Gen. Sarrail and additions are being
made to 1t every day from aerial ex-
plorations and the reports Of Serbians
making their way through the hostile
lines.
