CORDOvA QUOTA IF WAR FUND |S
 FULLY TR|PLED

COrdova's Red Cross war fund drive came to a close last evening reaching a climax in the vaudeville entertainment at the Empress thea tre, followed later by a "jtny' dance
 The proceeds of the entertainment were $418, which, after deducting $1OO for the rent of the theatre, left a net profit to the war fund of $318. The dance at Eagles hall netted the Red Cross $72.20.
 Subscriptions so far reported total $7,740, and the committee believes that when the returns are all in it will be shown that Cordova Chapter of the American Red Cross has raised at least $S,OO0 for the second war fund. The quota. of this chapter was $2,400. This is conceded to be an excellent showing for this commun- ity. ,
 The executive war fund committee wishes to express through the Daily Times its sincere appreciation of the efforts of all those who assisted in making the Red Cross war fund drive in Cordova such a remarkable sue cess. Especially thanks are due to the Fraternal Order of Eagles and to the orchestra for their successful conduct of the "jitney" dance, and to Mrs. Nina Nichols and her company and to all who assisted in the splen- did entertainment of last evening the committee is extremely grateful.

GERMANS RUSH NADLY INTO
 DEATHS JAWS

LIVERPOOL. May 27.-A Liverpool officer, in a letter from the front, writes of the German mass attack re- gently:
 q have watched several of these attacks through my field glasses, and have been filled with horror each time. They plowed forward in ser ried ranks. The majority did not even trouble to fix bayonets. Many had their rifles slung over their shoul- ders, and they advanced apparently with profound indifference over th. bodies of their comrades.
 My first thought was that they must be drugged, they advanced with such callousness and utter unconcern The simile of the locust has often been applied to the German hosts, and it would seem to be we'll justified for in all the recent attacks there is the suggestion of the insensate sol dier being absolutely indifferent to what happens to himself or his com rades, and obeying only one overmas- tering force and impulse.
 "The whole object of British and French military training is to develop the initiative and intelligence of the individual soldier, and perhaps this explains why in many cases a Brit ish or French division has been able to hold up six or seven times it's number"
