GERMANS CLAIM
MANY PRISONERS
OVER HALF MILLION OF ENEMIES
SOLDIERS SAID TO HAVE
BEEN CAPTURED.

Berlin. Jan. 1.-(By wireless to Lon
don)-The total number of prisoners
of war held in Germany at the end OF
the year amounts to S,13S officers and
577,S75 men,
This is shown in a summary issued
from headquarters today which points
out that the list does not include civil
iaps interned in Germany nor the pris-
oners taken during the pursuit In Rus
sian Poland or those in transport.
Ofthe above total the French contri.
buted 3,459 officers, including seven
generals and 215,9O5 men; the Rus
slams, 3,575 officers, of whom lS are
generals and 3O6,290 men; the Bel
gians. 612 officers, including three gen
erals, and 36,S52 men, and the British
492 officers and 1898 men,
Headquarters takes occasion to say
that the report that LAO German OF
ficers and 134,7OO men are prisoners
of war in Russia is misleading, since
this list pcludes interned civilians.
Probably not more than 15 per cent OF
the total are, military prisoners, it is
declared. ..

tumwa merchants have built their
business on the inciple of square
dealing and satisfying their patrons,

kets and details they are able to meet
the competition of the larg centers.
Quality considered, Ottumwa mer-
