Committee From Retailers League
Appointed to Look After This
Proposed Event, Held
Meeting.
PLANS FOR THE PICNIC
Committee Would Base Their Plans
on Matters Of Interest to
tho AgricuI-
turIsts.

The committee from the Keokuk
Retailers league which was appoint
ed to consider the plans for dollar
day and for a farmers picnic, met to-
day. 1t was decided that dollar
day will be held. The committee,
however, will wait on the merchants
to get their opinion as to the best
time for having dollar day. With the
sentiment of all the merchants In
their hands, the committee will then
be able to make their report. Some
of the merchants seem to think that
next month will be the best time.
Others wish to wait until fall. 1t will
be to determine this point that the
committee will ask the sentiment Of
the members of the league.
In the matter of the farmers picnic,
a suggestion was made by one OF the
members Of the committee, that the
picnic be built around one central
idea. The plan would be to have the
picnic last only one day. Prizes
would be given by the various stores
for numerous things.
Some Picnic Prizes.
For instance, it was suggested that
one store. probably dry goods store,
offer prizes to the family which has
the largest number OF women folks
which drives up to his store during
the day. A prize would be offered
for products Of the farm, and there
are innumerable possibilities with
the prizes for babies and children.
Implement dealers and hardware
stores could arrange for special dis
plays for the day, and the whole
picnic could be built around the farm;'
ers' most direct interests.
This proposition will also be dis
cussed with the merchants. The COM
mittee is composed of George Bauer,
J. ]. Chapman and George s. Mer-
RAM.

GERMANS HOLD 586,OOO MEN AS

Berlin Report Declares Statements from Petro-
 grad Are Misleading.

Berlin, Jan. l, by wireless to I.Hh~ 1On--Prisoners of war held in C v many at the end of tho year total 2i38 officers and 571,$1J men, accord Lc 10 a summary issued from army hG,.ti- quarters today. The report point8 out that this number does not include civilians interncd in Germany nor prisoners taken during the pnvsuil in Russian Poland or those in trans port.
 Of the total the French contribute 3,459 officers, including seven gen erals and 2l5,911 men; the Russians 3,575 officers, of whom Is are gen erals, and 306,290 men, the Belgi ins 612 officers, including three gen.rals and 36.S52 men and the British 492 Of ficers and 1S,2S2 men.
 Headquarters says the report tha 1 ,140 German officers and l"4 ,10' man arc prisoners of war in Russia is misleading, since this list includes interned civilians. Probably no' more than 13 per cent O. the total arc military prisoners, it is declared.

COTTON DEMAND GROWS, WAR ID
 PROFIT SOUTH
Era of Prosperity Ahead of Southern States, $ avs
 Southern Railway Head.

Washington, Jan 1.-Fairfax Har- rison, president of the Southern rail- way, declared today that wars effect on business conditions in the South was proving only temporary; that the demand for cotton was growing; and he predicted a general revival of busi- ness.
 "The world must have cotton,' said President Harrison "The demand both for export and for American mills, is increasing, and there has been substantial advance in prices since the low point when the depres- sion was at it's worst. With larger movement of cotton there will come an increased demand for merchandise of all kinds in the South and a gen. eral revival of business.
 Southern farmers are meeting the situation confronting them by plan ming to reduce the acreage of cotton planted in 1915 and to devote the lanc thus released from cotton to other crops and to live stock.
 statistics of the United States de- partment of agriculture and reports of the agricultural agents o1 the Southern Railway company show SUD- stantial increases in the average planted in fall grains in every South, ern state, and the prospects are tha' a larger acreage of corn will be ptant- ed.
 "With a smaller crop of cotton Southern farmers will be assured o1 a better price for the crop of 1915 and for that part of the crop of 1914 whlcn must be carried over; and With <; profit from the inevitable European demand resulting from the withdraw al of millions of men and draft ani. mals from agriculture in the countries which are at war"
 MT. Harrison adds that many Soutn' ern manufacturers realized opportuni,, ties for export business growing ou' of the war, and reports indicated they were taking intelligent steps to se' cure a share of the trade"

GERMAN SUBMARINE
 DOES DEADLY WORK
Formidable Was Sister Ship of the BulWark Destroyed in HodWay Last Month, and Had Been BOmbardng
 German Lines in Flanders.

London, Jana. Not more than 80 of the 800 men aboard the battleship Formidable were saved. according to the first officia! list of the survivors issued by the admiralty tonight.
 Fourteen officers and 60 men were rescued, says the admiralty.
 The survivors were landed by a trawler this morning during a storm. according to report 10 the Exchange Telegram company. The point at which they were landed is deleted by the censor.
 London, Jan. 1.-Another serious misfortune has befallen the British 1 fleet, depriving it of the pre-dread- naught battleship Formidable, which was blown up somewhere in the Eng | fish channel this morning. What the actual cause of the disaster was the ] official report does not state.
 Only small proportion of the For- midable's crew of 800 was saved, the present survivors list totalling 80, of whom IA are officers. There is a prospect, however, of this number be- ing added to. from the fact that some l survivors were landed from traWler at Torbay.
 So far no facts have been made public to permit description of what happened. There has been nothing beyond the bare official announce ment of the admiralty.
 The Formidable was a sister ship of 1 the Bulwark which was blown up in I the Medway last month. | The exact locality of this disaster has not been revealed, but the fact ! that it occurred in the British channel recalls the circumstance that British ships have been engaged in lombard ing the German positions on the Bell gian coast and that German subma- have attempted to torpedo them. The text of the bureaus statement is as follows:
 "The battleship Formidable was sunk this morning in the channel, but whether by mine or a submarine is not yet certain. Seventy-one surviv- ors have been picked up by a British light cruiser and it is possible that others may have been rescued by oth- CT vessels"
 1 The Formidable had a displacement of 15,O00 tons. She was 430 feet long, and carried complement of 750 men. She was heavily armored and carried four 12-inch guns, twelve 6-inch guns and sixteen 12-pounders. She was provided also with four submerged torpedo tubes.
 The Formidable had assigned to her, according to the British navy list of December, various fleet officers, and { consequently she undoubtedly was acting as a flagship at the time of her destruction. Her captain was Arr thur N. Loxley and her commander was Charles F. Ballard.
