MARINES IS ESTABLISHED THE
SURVIVORS SAID THE BATTLE
SHIP WAS ATTACKED ON THE
FISHING BANKS OFF DART
MOUTH, AND WAS TORPEDOED
BOTH FORE AND AFT, SINKING

London, Jan. 2.-The British bat
tleship Formidable was sunk in the
English chanel yesterday. The state
ment said:
'The battleship Formidable was
sunk in the channel this morning."
Seventy-one survivors were picked
up and it is possible that others were
saved who have not yet been re-
ported. 1t was by a British light
cruiser that the seventy-one rescued
men were picked up, the admiralty
stated later. If any more were saved,
it Was added, it was by other ships
in fhe vicinity.
In official circles it was said the loss
of the ship was not a matter of great
Importance, since it was old and some
what out of date, but it was admitted
tlat the death Of the trained officers
ahd seamen who manned it was Sc
Ious blow
What other warships accompanied
he Formidable at the time of the dis
yaster was not known.
The Formidable was a battleship of
$4,000 tons displacement. She was
completed in 1901 at cost of more
. than $5,000,000. Her complement in
peace was 7Sl men, while in time of
war it probably was about 1000. She
carried four Pinch guns, twelve
G-inch, eighteen 12-pounders, four
3-pounders and four torpedo tubes.
The ship, which was considered one
of the best of Great Britain's eighteen
knot battle craft, had been doing coast
duty and aiding in the fighting along
the Belgian coast.

RUSSIAN COSSACKS
WILD ADVENTURES

/ London, Jan. 2.-Perhaps the wild
est adventures of the war are those
attributed to the Cossacks They take
war as sport and are correspond
ingly reckless. They have supersti-
zion against sdrrenderins and against
losing their lance or their horse.
A correspondent OF the Daily
Graphic sends some remarkable sto-
Iies Of these strange horsemen, who
are well drilled, he finds. To their
immemorial boldness ard Witness they
have now added drill and science, and
they are much more effective than in
the Japanese war. He says:
Greatest of all Cossacks is Michail
Filmonoff, who is with the invaders
of Galicia. Filimonoff is striking
figure He sits his horse like Petro-
grad bank clerk, but his leadership
beats De Vets. On the day he was
given command of little reconnoiter-
ing force of twenty-five men Filimo-
Inoff dispersed or captured four Aus
trian outposts or detachments. All
outnumbered his force. For that he
was promoted to "khorunji" and given
the St. Georges Cross.
"He has done all wild things since
Near Przemysl he held up an Austri-
an convoy and captured 200 wagons
of grain and coal. When, a few
days later. his force was surrounded,
he saved it by himself diving into
stream and racing for help. Fill
imonoff's ruses are surprising. He dis
guised himself and some of his men
as peasants and obtained valuable in
formation. The Cossacks take the war
as spot. Lately l visited the Wis
tula south of Warsaw and saw at Cora
Kalwarija Cossacks having djigitoka
sports.
Zone of the players had his left
arm in a sling. | was told that he
was wounded. After the terrific bat
ties on the Pilica month ago, he
was taking part in a similar sport
under the enemy's fire.
"Cossacks cannot be induced to sur
render. They have martial supersti-
tions about keeping their horses and
lances. | have heard of cases of Cos
sacks preferring death to abandoning
either Before the Grand Duke Mich
olas' armies reached the Warthe at
Kolo the Cossack Nikita Tchumakoff,
with ten comrades, was captured
through falling into an ambuscade.
Three days later Tchumakoff turned
up with two bullet wounds, one
through his clothes and one through
his thigh. He was horseless, but car
ried his long lance. Tchumakoff with
out horse or weapons, had crept dur
ing the darkness from the tent in
which he slept.
"He got safely past the German
sentries. Then he reflected that it was
a shame for Cossack to lose his
horse and lance. so he crept back,
facing the risk of being killed or re
captured. He recovered both horse
and lance and galloped away. The
horse was killed by shot from an
outpost. From his lance Tchumakoff
would not be parted
The skill of the Cossacks in scout
ing is responsible for most of the
Russian successes. says rhis observer.
They are especially notable for rapid
flarking operations. Through an in
eenious ruse of Cossack cavalry, Gen
eral Marshal Won Hindenburg was de-
ceived about the line of advance of
the Siberian reinforcements in the
first German advance on Warsaw and
LARGELY due to this factor the Ger
mans had to retreat.

New Year Arrives
On Schedule, Time

The new year arrived on exact
time. There were those who feared
that the great war in Europe or the
terrible cold in the East might de
lay its coming, but in spite of those
impediments it got here at just Il
O'Clock.
Half of the population was out to
watch for 1915 and so soon as they
saw the new years coming over the
sandhlls to the east they gave the
signal in divers ways that aroused all
the sleepers.
The most mild demonstrations were
by those who fired pistols or blew
blasts on comets. But with these
moderate noises there was din by
all possible internal noise making ma
chimes, and the combination was like
a nightmare conception of Babel.
Year Brings Expectancy.
The turning into the new year has
caused general satisfaction, for the
feeling is general that it will hold
better conditions than the last half
of the old year, for the closing days
Of each year bring special burdens in
the way of taNpaying and adjustment
of business, and after New Years
affairs open up for the new season
of activity, and by the end of Janu-
ary normal conditions ordinarily pre-
vail That there will be steady
rise in business conditions during this
month is the general expectation.
Danced Out the Year.
The big social event was the dance
given at Masonic Temple by the East
ern Star.
With the raucous squawk of small
horns and the greeting acclamations
of the 125 guests, the birth of the
rev year witnessed the conclusion of
the annual Eastern Star ball, the most
brilliant social event of the winter.
Porsonifving the true holiday spirit
the ceiling of the hall was hung with
highly -colored streams, while about
the room small pine trees had been
placed. Two tall pine trees stood at
the entrance to the hall, while the
punch booth was decorated to repre-
sent snow scene and Illuminated by
small colored lights.
Shortly before midnight an aged
man, with long flowing beard, person.
flying the dying year, passed into the
hall, followed by dainty little girl,
representing the coming of the new
year.
Mrs. John Norton proved to be
most charming hostess for the even
ing. Following is the committee: Dr.
T. O. Luckett, Phil d. Swing, c. A.
Shafer and John Norton.
Small horns were distributed as ia
vors to the ladies, shortly before mid
night, the ball being ended by the
sweet strains of "Home, Sweet Home
