LONDON, March 11 A sudden
German thrust at the Corbeaux Woods
imperilled the French on a five mile
front west of the Meuse, dispatches
said. The Germans are reported to
be wasting lives recxlessly in an at
tempt to advance to the Forges-Cum-ieres
road. Success would force Gen
eral Joffre to evacuate the trenches
on Goose HIM and at Bethincoutt.
Paris admitted a German gain, but
declared counter attacks recaptured
the positions. Reports are contradic
tory regarding the results of the in
tense fighting at Vaux last night. The
