the supreme court. When asked about It

neither deny or affirm, but simply said
nothing would be done until Monday.
Denies Wants Coinmlasloiiershlp.
The rumor that Judge Sutton was likely
to be a candidate for city commissioner
In Omaha was emphatically denied by
him.
The supremo Justiceship is by law now
a nonpartisan office, though a democrat lc
governor has been considering democrats
for the place so far. It is understood.
Judge Sutton was elected to offioe on the
Douglas county district bench as a re
publican. The nonpartisan Judiciary act
lias since become a law. One rumor is
that Judge Sutton's resignation was to
be conditioned on the choice of a suc
cessor satisfactory to him and that 8. A.
Bearle was hla preference.
Two Refusals.
The refusal of Judge Sullivan of Omaha
to accept the appointment was consider
able of a disappointment to Governor
Morehead and the refusal of Dean Heat

consider anything of the kind places an
other appointee out of the running. Judge

Andrew Carnegie Gives the Reasons Why
He is Sure This Will Be the Last Great
By ANDREW CARNEGIE.
I
N these times, when half of our fair
blackened by the fire and smoke
shell, when men are at each other's tb" .-,-'
civilization n progress nas suiieir
ous setback of centuries, I am asked Ivv10 . : "
possible prospect for lasting peace. ,. ,
. To this I answer an emphatic "Yes.
And also, I am asked if in the face of the sensa
tional and fearsome statements of so-called military
and naval "experts" concerning our unpreparedness
I can give assurance that our own mnlry may not at
any minute be plunged Into a disastrous war.
To this I also answer "Yes."
It is my firm belief and opinion that never at an
time in the history of the world did the future hold
but such definite promise of permanent peace as It
does now.
The present war is so appalling and shocking that
it in itself is probably doing more to put an end to
war han any peace propaganda could have accom
plished in half a century. The longer that this war
continues and the more terrible its results, the
stronger the argument for permanent world peace.
War Will Exhaust Six Nations, and Probably a
Seventh.
When this war is over six of the world's nations
will be exhausted. A seventh I refer to Japan hag
not suffered to any vast extent as yet, but its future
position in it may be as dangerous as the others.
1 believe that the nTx frightful months of this war,
which we are told may last for three years or longer,
has already so impressed the whole world, Including
(hose nations which are embroiled, that no similar
catastrophe can ever be permitted, and that some all
powerful plan must be devised to prevent a situation
arising like the one that plunged Europe into Ha
present disgraceful conflict.
The future shows me a court of the world created
by the civilized nations, with one army and one navy
pledged to keep the peace and enforce the rules laid
down by the arbiters of these nations.
Car of Russia to Be Recalled as Peace Head
t
I see also in the future an overwhelming demand
for the recalling of The Hague conference by its
pioneer who called i'a f'rst two conferences. The man
to whom I refer is the czar of Russia.
seems-to me, is a fit answer to the alarmists who. per
sist in holding up before, the affrighted eyes of the
ignorant the Japanese-United States war bogey.
A war between the United States and Japan is
most improbable. There are many reasons why this
is so, but it is only necessary to point to two of them
to convince the credulous that this supposed' danger
has never existed. .
First, neither Japan nor the United States deBlres
to expand by acquiring territories,, as tbey have too
much good sense.
Second,-Japan is

SLIGHT GAINS IN BELGIUM
PARIS, Jan. 23. The continuance of
severe Infantry engagements In Alsace,
but with no decisive outcome as yet, to

"A striking proof of this phase to to

Automobiles Eltj dig
Part in Deciding the
Battle of Soissons
BERLIN, Jan. . (Via London
The automobile played an important role
In deciding the battle of Solssons. It Is
new learned that reinforcements, brought
up by a column of more than 200 automo
biles on the night of January S and
thrown in on the German left flank at
Vregny, turned th scale when the Ger
mans were making their counter strode
end enabled them to sweep the French
from the plateau.-
.Hitherto . automobiles have been used
little by th Hermans In this campaign,
except for the transportation of riflemen
attached to cavalry divisions, owing to
the, length of time required for loading
in motor cars large bodies of troops,
which, to a great' extent, neutralises the
extra speed In the actual movements. On
this occasion the troops were drawn up

War
condition to take on a war of the magnitude that
would ensue. Its people do not want it; our people era
averse to It, therefore any dispute that may arise at
the present time will be easily settled by the diplo
mats of both countries. With the establishment of
the court of the world this bogey will vanish into thin
air forever.
In "InexproKHibly Shocked" at Greatest of World Wars,
I have been asked if I will take an active part in
the establishment of this court ot the world?
My answer to this Is that I am always ready to be
one of those who will urge the formation of th's
solution. I admit that this war has proved rnishingly
discouraging. In fact, 'discouraging" Is not a strong
enough word to express my feelings. I am horrified,
and Inexpressibly shocked and grieved.
I do not agree with some, however, that this war
la the result of a premeditated plan formulated years
ago. I do not believe that during The Hague confer
ences any of the nations now involved in the war had
any idea of the precipice upon which they stood. It
all happened "In the twinkling ot an eye."
I think It probable that Qermauy confidently ex
pected Russia to side with Austria when the trouble
with Servla arose, and that it was astounded when
Russia refused. I do not mean by that that I blame
Russia for the war. As a matter of fact, Russia was
one of the last to engage in the conflict and only be
gan its war preparations when it became convinced
that its Interests were at stake.
The sane method of preventing the war should, of
course, have been for one'of the powers to Insist ou
arbitration. It is one of the blackest crimes again
our civilisation that the primary trouble that caused
the war was not settled In this way.
The most serious Incident of thope that led to th
still Is, to my mind, the rejection
of Sir Edward Grey's suggestion for a conference of
the powers. Had Germany not refused this I believo
there would not have been any war. . This was the
chief crime or error. Two years before Sir Edward
conference to the Balkan powers. At
Edward Grey managed the confer
he received the hearty thanks ot
those who sat with him. He prevented war between
the leading powers.
Treaty Violation One of (ire text Crimes In Hlistory.
Germany's recent refusal to enter into this pro
posed peace conference discouraged the other nations
from attempting any further proposals long theio
lines. This crime, for criminal It was to refuse to con
fer with other nations when invited to labor for the
prevention of war, was shortly followed by another,
one of the greatest in hretory. I speak of the violation
of the Belgian treaty.

to have said that Franca was raadje.

TEUTONS HAYE NEW
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN
Petrograd Believes Next Effort
1 Will Be to Drive Runs from
Bukowina and Hungary.
LULL IN VICINITY OF WARSAW
FETUOGRAD, Jan. .-Vla tandon)
It has become apparent to th Russian
general staff that the Germans have al
tered materially their plan of campaign
on he Russian frontier with a view to
attempting to oust the armies of General
Ivanoff from Bukowina, northern Hun
gary, and Kaatern Oallcla. In conse
quence It Is believed that the most severe
fighting of the next few weeks la likely
to occur In the soutn rather In Central
Poland, along the Warsaw front.
The new German plan Is thought to
have been elaborated at a recent meeting
of Austrian and German staff officers at
Brenlau. Russian military official say
that the Austrlans have failed in their
allotted task of stemming the Russian In
vasion and that th Germans hava awak
ened to the seriousness of the situation
and consequently have adopted th new
plan., The change I regarded as largely
responsible for the prolonged lull about
Warsaw, where military operations are
much less aggressive.
Military Takes Railroad.
During the last month Russian military
authorities have been receiving Informa
tion that all the railroad lines leading
from Prussian Silesia through Hungary
to the Roumanian frontier and Bukowina
have been closed to nonmllitary traffic,
while hundreds of trains loaded with
troops and munitions have been forwarded
from Germany. It has been noted more
over that during this time no reinforce
ments have arrived at the fields of ac
tion on either aldo of the lower Vistula,
while th Austrlans seemingly are at
tempting merely to hold and fortify their
positions along the Dunajec.
Russian staff officers state that when
this war began the Germans wer con
fident that the Russians would direct all
their efforts toward the western frontier
and that consequently Bukowina and th
Carpathian passes were left insufficiently
defended. The Russians profited from
this situation.

The German raid on Dunkirk: re

as more likely to prove effective than
