DIPLOMACY, SAYS ENGLAND THOUSANDS OF PRISONERS O'Brien Thinks Carp And Crappies Best In Waters of State vFrom a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Jan. 9. (Special.) Fish lo cut the cost of living, not fish to tempt the sporty angler's eye, is the utilitarian idea of State Fish Commis sioner O'Brien, in his annual report to Governor Neville. He appeals to be allowed to stock the shallow and marshy waters of Ne braska with German carp, instead of trying in vain to get bass and fancy breeds to thrive there. The sports man would protest, he says,' but the man who can't acord porterhouse would welcome the suggestion. More crappies and more yellow bullheads is his idea, too, common fish that thrive in Nebraska waters. He aks for an appropriation for a new fish car, the present one being outgrown. A wooden car would cost $5,000 and a steel one $15,000. The department distributed 14,777, 545 fish in 1916, of which 11,176,700 were wall eyed pike, 21,000 were carp, 5,520 gold fish. The bullfrog, whose nether extreraeties are relished by epicures, had his species "sown" in Nebraska ponds to the number of 34,- 200. The sale of fish for private i l tt-Tit ' ponas amountca to The department, in 1916, realized $73,432 from licenses and $2,484.17 from fines.

Field Marshal von Mackcnsen's drive against the Sereth line in south ern Moldavia continues to gain ground and the Teutonic thrust against the Moldavian mountains flanking operations now under way likewise is showing progress. Pushing northward from Fokshani, the fortress position captured yester day southwest of the Sereth and near the center of the line, Von Macken sen's troops have driven the Russians across the Putna and are now ham mering at a new position they have taken up there. Further southeast, toward the Dan ube, the Russians are now beginning to yield again, according to Berlin, losing another town which the Aus-tro-German forces held against coun ter attacks delivered last night. The total of prisoners taken by the Teutonic armies in the operations of yesterday and the previous day is now reported by Berlin as approxi mately 5,500, together with three can non and ten machine guns. While the Russians are continuing their offensive in the region between Divinsk and Riga along the northern end of the line in Russia they arc meeting with no further successes in the vicinity of the River Aa.

The Boerscn Zci tung, Berlin's leading financial organ, seizes upon the dinner given to Am bassador Gerard by the American As sociation of Commerce and Trade as an opportunity to discuss peace again. It says that the banquet had unusual importance and almost ex presses enthusiasm at the cordail re lations existing between the United States and Germany, as it finds them in the expressions of the speakers. The Saturday evening paper as sert that Germany will welcome every support America may lend to the peace movement, "so long as it siloes not attempt to narrow or foil the ac quisition of peace worthy of Germany and the efforts of its fighters." In its comment on the dinner the Boersen Zeitung says: "It is natural that Germany now looks differently upon an America which has recovered from what may be termed its carouse over its rich war gains and not America which Germany vainly tried to arouse to a sympathetic understanding of its situ ation." The paper warns Americans, how ever, that they must not expect the German people to be deeply grateful for peace efforts which, it says, are actually inspired by America's own desires and needs for peace. Sees a Warning. London, Jan. 9. The Manchester Guardian in its comment on Ambas sador Gerard's speech in Berlin says it regards it as plain warning to Ger many. "The versions of the speech deserve careful study," the newspaper asserts, "because they throw a good deal of light on the inner mind of diplomats." After quoting the version of the ambassador's remarks in which he is made to say that so long as Ger many's destiny is conducted by its present leaders he did nto fear that the relations between Germany and the United States would suffer, the Guardian continues: "That is the diplomatic way of say ing that if more extreme parties came into power or if the present rulers of Germany yielded to their clamor, he would not like to say what might hap pen. "Evidently Mr. Gerard is anxious to support the chancellor and his asso ciates against the attacks of the Von Tirpitz clique and wild annexationists. And he is anxious to do that because he thinks the triumph of the opposi tion would mean very serious trouble between Germany and the United States. It is important that the Eng lish people should understand the an gle at which Mr. Gerard stands." Hastings to Make Bid to Secure New 1 Capitol Building Hastings, Neb., Jan. 9. (Special Telegram.) The Hastings Chamber of Commerce has advised Stale Sen ator Waleter E. Hager that Hastings will give twenty acres of well located ground for a building site for a new state capitol on the condition trat the capital of Nebraska shall be moved from Lincoln to Hastings. Tomorrow is the day set for the in troduction of a bill providing for the relocation and Senator Hager will at once put forth the claims of Hastings and the inducement that the city is prepared to offer. ROTAN TO CONTINUE HUNT FORMURDERER District Attorney Still Believes Lewis the Man Who Killed Mazie Colbert. THEORY OP GIRL'S BROTHER Philadelphia, Pa., Jan 9 District Attorney Rotan today planned to con tinue his investigation into the mys tery surrounding the murder in her apartments, December 29, of Mazie Colbert, the advertising art model. After his examination of a score of witnesses yesterday, Mr. Kotan an nounced that nothing had been re vealed to make him change his opinion that all the circumstantial evidence pointed to Bernard W. Lewis,, Pittsburgh, as the slayer, lie added that his investigation would he continued until every person who might throw light on the mystery had been examined. At the same lime he gave John Colbert, a brother of the slain girl, authority to conduct a private investigation and to lake lo the city hall for examination any one he suspected of having knowledge of the case. Brother Hunts Evidence. Colbert, in business in New York, says that he docs not believe Lewis killed his sister. He declared early today that he had discovered new evidence "of the greatest importance," this evidence, he said, came from a source outside of Philadelphia, "and may result in upsetting or weakening everything now thought to be es tablished." A shirt, collar and necktie found on Lewis after his suicide in Atlantic City were identified last night by a clerk in a haberdashery as the articles lie had sold the Pittsburgh man the day the crime is believed to have been committed. The clerk said, according to the police, thai Lewis had made the purchases shortlv before 11 o'clock December J9. Two other witnesses slated they had talked over the telephone with Miss Colbert after ! 1 1 o'clock lhat Hav. The police had cnnlended that Lewis bought the articles after the murder was committed and some of those interested in the case claim thai at least one link in the chain of circumstantial evidence, which the au thorities say convinces them that Lewis was the slayer, has been broken.
