The raising Of the quota assessed

hlned, as many would assume It to be,
which fact is brought out by a state
nent issued today by Chairman Scott.
Is will be seen by his statement, there
must be si,i92,76 more bonds sold be-
ween now and Saturday midnight, to
each the county's quota. And the most
lerious consideration is that practically

My bought bonds once, but two and
pine three times.
Those workers who have imagined
bat the selling Of this loan In New

deposition, have misunderstood condi-

flank, the British, French and Belgians
have pushed westward until they are
directly south OF Bruges. At the same
time the Allied forces are spreading
out toward the coast. They have
reached ThOurout, 10 miles from
Bruqes. Further progress in that di-
rectlon will force the Germans TO evac-

The Cordova daily times., 1918-05-10

There has been much activity dur ing the past month among the work CTS of the local chapter of the Red Cross in the knitting, the sewing and the making of surgical dressings and which to me is quite essential as bull let making.
 The output for the month of April is as follows: Guild Auxiliary-3 sweaters; 1 pair sacks; pair wrist lets; 2 pair pajamas; bedshirts; A pairs operating leggings.
 Star of East-4 sweaters; 26 pairs of socks; pair wristlets; 2 pair pa jamas. Independent makers-14 sweaters; 27 pairs socks; 2 pairs pajamas. Total 21 sweaters; 50 pairs socks; pair wristlets; pair muff- lers; 6 pairs pajamas; 4 bedshirts and A pairs operating leggings.
 Eighteen hundred yards of gauge was used in the making of surgical dressings. This work is being done by members of the auxiliaries and those not affiliating with same. This work was retarded on account of the impossibility to reach headquarters for five days during the indictment weather.
 On April 16th. via S. S. Alaska there was shipped to Bureau of Sup plies in Seattle 20 sweaters; 48 pairs of socks; 6 pairs wristlets; huff lers. Also 37SO surgical dressings.
 On April 30, there were boxed ard ready for shipment 20OO surgical dressings 9x9; 34 suits outing flannel pajamas; 24 pairs operating leggings; g pairs flannel bed-socks muslin hedsbirts. This shipment went for ward on "The Alameda"
 Arril 20, sent to Mile 49, c. R. X N. ". R. R., sweater to replace the Gle damaged in transit.
 Finished work on hand May: -.37 pairs knitted socks, pairs knitted wristlets, g knitted sweaters, AGO sur gical dressing 9x9.
 Cut and ready for work May. 20 muslin operating gowns.
 Garments in work and about com r.eted: 16 infant layettes. Each lay. ette consisting of dresses; 1 jacket: brassieres; 1 cape and hood; 2 pairs bootees; 2 blankets; flannel binders; 12 squares; undershirts; 1 bonnet and bag of sundries.
 Needles sold during the month of April to the amount of $210; said money turned over to the secretary.
 A story is being circulated to the by the Cordova Chapter, have been re- jected in Seattle and returned. This is emphatically not true. No articles whatever, knitted or otherwise, made by the Cordova Chapter, has been re- turned and this statement is evident ly the work of person hostile to the Red Cross. A letter received from the inspector of knitting in Seattle in the last mail, will substantiate my. statement, also one from the super intendent of surgical dressings. Both letters herewith attached.
 Our chapter has been given an al- lotment for hospital garments for the coming month, consisting of one box of operating masks and one of under drawers and undershirts. (French make.) Also our allotment for knit ted goods to be made during the three months from April 20 to July 20, 1918, consisting of socks, sweaters and wristlets. have accepted both allot- ments.
