POUR VAC ASCIIS TO BE TILLED
(From a 6taff Correspondent.)
LlNroLN. Dec. !!.- Special.) Much
Interest hat been manifested tha lait
nK ovr tha candidacy of Judges of tha
swprem court for rs-electlon. Ther will
b four vseancles to be filled and In
each caaa on of tha present )ud-ea will
be a candidate for r-electton to a place
on the bench. The judges wboae terms
expire are Chief Justice A. M. aforrlssey.
Assoclst Justices Fawcett, Barnes and
Sedgwick.
Judte Barnea and Judce Sedgwick, will
t candidates for the aatne places they
are now filling;. Jt U pretty well und-r-atood
that Judge Fawcwtt would like to
Wome a candidate for the chief JuaUce-
ahip, but aa yet doea not eem to be
able to make up his mind whether he
wanta to move up. Chief Justice Mor
rlaeey would like to remain on the bench,
but doea not know whether he really
want to take a try at tha chief Justlce
htp ar take a try at an aaaoclate peti
tion. - . .
A In porta at aa Ever.
The sam propoaltlon which caused
Governor Morehead to appoint Judge
Morrlasey, that of putting young Wood
at the head of tha court, la apparently
Just aa Important now aa It waa then.
While the appointment at the time
brought down a large amount of criticism
upon the governor, especially from mem
bera of hie own party, It 1 pretty well
a treed now that the appointee haa made
good In the position of chief Justice and
the fact Utat Editor Howard of the
C'olumbue Telegram and one or two othera
who scored the governor unmercifully
for appointing Morrtssey at the time, now
acknowledge their mistake and band tha
Judas many compliment, la evidence
that while tha position la nonpartisan,
Judge Morrlssey la likely to be pretty
popular with even thoie who opposed his
appointment.
But It la said that the chief juatlce la
not sure that he cares to enter the race
for renornlnatlon for the position of head
of the court. The position carrlea with
It much hard work and long hours and
to a man of the enrgetlo disposition of
the present chief Justice with the handi
cap of adverse criticism which hi ap
pointment brought, tha midnight elec
tricity haa burned often In the office of
the chief justice In his efforts to counter
let some of the things which were said
about placing an Inexperienced Judge at
th head of the highest judicial tribunal
In the statu.
Work Mark Leas.
From a standpoint of effective work, a
man can accomplish juat aa much as an
associate aa ha can at tha bead of the
court. Judge Morrlssey haa received all
the prestige which would eome ta him a
chief justice of the supreme court and
to step Into an associate position would
..not deteriorate from the prestige gained,
while the salary would be tha same, the
work mudi less and tha responsibility

their turkey and cranberry sauee and
will be able to Inform the public what
their desires ar. In the meantime there
are other who are looking with longing
eyes toward the supreme eourt, and th
lint already Is a long one, beginning with
Judge Cornish of Lincoln, Judge Dean of
Broken Bow, Judge Perry of Cambridge,
Judge Westover of Rushvtlle, Judge
Grimes of North Platte, Judee Hunt of

FALL OF VILLA AS
SUDDEN ASHIS RISE
Scarcely Three Years Time Covert
Adrenturom Career of Reto
lutionist. MHJTABY OEUITJS OF MEXICO
EL PA80, Tex.. Dec. 19. Doreteo
Orango was born in 18(8 in Las
Nleves. In the state of Durango. As
a youth he ventured into the moun
tains of Chihuahua and collected a
roving band to whom he became
known as Pancho and Francisco
Villa. ..'
During the outbreak: of Madero
against Porfirlo Dtac, Villa emerged
from the mountains and foresook the
bandit life credited to him. His rise
to military power and his descent
from the pinnacle of revolutionary
fame dates back scarcely three years
ago, when he crossed the Rio Grande
with only a handful of companions,
six "borrowed" horses and $7 in
money, and a meager supply of
coffee and beans.
Less than- a year after his entering the
army of Madero he became the leader of
a well-equipped army of nearly 20,000
men. His fearlessness In battle and his
acknowledged ability as a disciplinarian
won for blm hla title. At one time, a
head et tha Carransa army, more than
half of Mexico was under his control.
Hated thm gpaalarde.
With Indian blood In hi veins, he wss
a hater et the Spaniard. He also was an
enemy of alcohol and tobacco. Popular
with hla men, his strength grew, and at
the time of Huerta's downfall Villa waa
the greatest military genius In Mexico,
He waa then credited with presidential
aspiration.
Trouble rose. .. The . first signs of dl
content came just previous to the Agua
Callentes convention, more than a year
ago, ordered for the purpose of outlining
the policies of the administration, of
which Carransa then was the nominal
head. Carransa advisers criticised the
method of selecting delegates to the con
vention. Stormy scenes were enacted.
Th policies adopted gave evidence of the
rupture that quickly followed. General
Villa, with General Emlllsno Zapata,
whose faction was said to have been In
corporated, formed what was oalled the
"oonventlonlat" government. Carransa
adhered to the term "constitutionalist,
Generals and leaser leadera chose sides
and aligned their men accordingly. Villa
then retreated northward, after .once
having aet foot at least in the suburbs
of Mexico City, and began the struggle
to maintain bis army. Act of violence
followed closely upon each other; towns
were looted; foreigners persecuted;
bridges and other property destroyed, and
demand made upon wealthy mining men
and mercantile businesses for money.
Not tha Army of Qld.
Villa's army then waa not the army
that stood with blm at th height of his
triumphs. Bickering In the commands
of aeveral of hla generals became alarm
ing. General Medina, who once led hi
advance forces, waa murdered. Loot
eatlmated at mllllona stored on the Medina
ranch was said to have been the cause.
The next of Villa' strong supporters to
disappear was Colonel Flerro, nicknamed
the "Butcher." Plerro It was who was
aid to have oamed the death of Medina,
and also that of William Benton, a British
subject, who death la Juares about two
years ' ago baa never satisfactorily been
explained..--
Other of Villa' commanders and mem
ber of his provisional cabinet crossed
Into th United States .and many of bis
troops received Immunity from Carransa
upon their surrender. The reoent recog
nition by the United State and other
power of th d facto government of
Carransa, Villa felt sorely, and evtdencca
of tha and of a bitter but unequal fight
were soon made manifest.

MANILA. Deo. IT.-The typhoon which

SICK SOLDIER IS LUCKY
To Be Transferred to Hospital Ship
Most Agreeable Fate in
Balkan Campaign.
ONLY CLEAN SPOT IN PENINSULA
(Correspondence of th Associated Press.)
IKI, Dec. 1. Quite the most agree
able fate that can- overtake an allied
soldier In the Balkan campaign Is to
be 111 or slightly wounded. Not thst th
hospital facilities of the ancient Turk
ish city are famous, or even' adequate.
They are not. But there are four French
and one British hospital ships In the
roads of Balonikl and they constitute
by far the most comfortable, not to
say the only sanitary spot In the Balkan
peninsula.
The French have been better prepared
from the very outset of the present Bal
kan campaign In every detail of military
organisation than their British allies. No
better example of the thoroughness of
this preparation could be given thsn
the arrangements for caring for th sick
and wounded. Long before there was
actually any need for it and simultan
eously with the landing of the first con
tingent of French troops on Greek sill,
the French hospital ship Bphlnx was ly
ing ready in tha harbor of Balonikl. As
th number of troops disembarked In
creased, automatically more hospital
ships put In an appearance. First, the
Dugay Trouln, with It sheltered decks
and Its high stern like tha poop of a
Spanish galleon, all porches and awnings
and lounging places for the convalescent;
next thla ship, the Charles Houx. with
Its operating rooms. Its surgical clinics
and Us complete provision for th car
of th more seriously wounded; and fin
ally the Canada all with full complement
of nurses, surgeons, physicians, sister
of charity and all the rest of the para
phernalia of th aftermath of battle.
Comfortable Hospital Ship.
In mny way the Charles Roux is
the most Interesting, especially a It
Is the principal operating theater of the
floating hospitals of Svlonlkt, and spe
cially as th Surgeon Major, Dr. Helts
Boyer, Is on of th most distinguished
and best known surgeons In Perls. The
ship was converted from one of th larger
passenger steamers that in time of peace
made the voyage from Marseilles to Al
ger. As such, It Is roomy enough, for
not only have th saloona not required
aa operating chamber been turned Into
wards to add to the accommodatlona ot
th cabins, but the great broad deck a
have been glaaaed In, making tha moat
agreeable of sun-parlors In which cots
are set in . long rows ao that the a!ck
and. wounded, in the warmth of the after
noon sun, -may II quiet and look out
at tha spendld view th Bay of Balonikl
affords.
Here, too, th convalescent, propped up
with pillows, sheltered, excellently cared
for and competently nursed by .volunteer
Frenchwomen who have passed the
necessary examination and had the
requisite experience, gather strength
against th Urn when they may go back
and "hava another go at 'era," ss the
"potlu" In the next cot to the Associated
Press correspondent put It. Under auch
circumstance the wounded soldier has
all the advantages and none of the draw
back of "the Naples of the orient," aa its
Inhabitants call Balonikl. If hla cot la
on the south aide of th ship, he haa be
fore blm the snow-capped crests of tha
mountains of Kalchls, those three fingers
of land that stretch Into the Aegean,
with convent-crowned Mount Athos tip
ping the last finger. Or, to the west,
confused with the clouds, he has the
peaks of Theasaly Mount Olympus, the
horn of the gods of ancient Greece, and
beyond. Mount Odessa; and perhaps even,
dim In the distance. Mount Pellon, both
of mythological fame. The rare - and
changing beauty of th clouds abov
these snow-colfed heights, the singular
coloring of the sunsets are Joys to the
patient aboard the French hospital
ships In no wise lessened by the odors,
the noise and th discomforts of Ufa
ashore In Balonikl.
On tha other hand, should th patient

an English name or an allied name.
Among th signers of the paper wer a

bear German names ar declared to be

"How far back are we asked- to go

LITTLE BUSY BEES
We are going to give you FIVE DOLLS THIS WEEK,
because it is Christmas, and we want you all to have a
chance to win one.
LILLIAN is t h e
biggest and prettiest
and is for the little
girl that sends us the
most pictures. EDNA
is second, IDA third,
HELEN fourth and
"BOBBY" is fifth
(Bobby" is a girl,
but they call her
"Bobby," because
she plays with the
boys all the time).
You just ought to see
her run and jump and
play pump-pump-'
pull-away and all the
rest of the outdoor
games. That's what
puts that sparkle in i
her eyes and the roses
on her cheeks. I just love her myself, lest of them all,
because she has such winning ways dear little "Bobby."
I wonder what little girl will get her. If I was a little
girl, wouldn't I try, though!
Rrroeinber, you must send your pictures In OVE
DAY EAHL1KR this week, because. Saturday la Christ
mas, so the tXlM I'.ST VIM. CLOSE 4 P. M. FRIDAY,
