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 ings of the University of Nebraska to consider anything of the kind places an other appointee out of the running.

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 BAYONET BATTLES FODGHT JN ALSACE French Official Report Tells of In fantry Engagements on 'South End of Line. , SLIGHT GAINS IN BELGIUM PARIS, Jan. 23. The continuance of severe Infantry engagements In Alsace, but with no decisive outcome as yet, to gether, with the customary artillery ex changes, and a minor fight near St. Hubert, which has not yet come to an end, are the outstanding features of the ; report on the progress of the fighting given out by the French war office this sfterWn. The French claim a slight ad vance (100 yards) In Belgium and they destroyed bridges over the Me use near 8t. Mihlel. The report "says: "The activity yesterday of our infan try along the entire front was devoted to the repairing done, to our earthworks by the bad weather of the last few days.

A group of well known Italians has addressed a letter to Secre tary of State Bryan conveying an appeal that the United States take som action to the end that the monumens of ar In he belllgeren countlres be preserved from ruin.

(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 four abreant In a column along the road. As each automobile arrived men clam bered in quickly and without confusion.

In I default of ball h will remain la JalL 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.

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. Anarchy, Panic and Disorder Eeign in City of Mexico WASHINGTON, Jan.

One account says ten aeroplanes took part In it, Brit ish aeroplanes assumed the defensive and succeeded In bringing down one of the visitors. This method of de- fense is regarded by English experts as more likely to prove effective than tbe anti-aircraft guns with which the defenses of Dunkirk bristle.
