Nation Is Brought
To Verge Of War

Breaking Off of diplomatic relations brings
the United States to the verge of war.
Never in the history of the world have two
first-cass powers severed their diplomatic rela-
tons without hostities following.
President Wilson in taking the momentous
step has counted the consequences carefully, as
have all his advisers. Germany, officials have
openly said, has counted the cost of a break with
the United States and was prepared to pay it in
the hope of shortening the war.
When the president returned from the capitol
last night he had apparently made up his mind
that nothing remained but breaking off relations

PRESENT FLAG TO
BADGER COMP ANY
Sons Of Veterans Auxiliary Sends
Colors to Waco; Philip to Con-
duct Exercises at Presentation

Regimental coloris have been ex-
pressed to Camp Macarthur at Waco,
where Governor e. l.. Philip will
make a formal presentation during his
visit to the Wisconsin National guards
men.
The national auxiliary of the Sons
Of Veterans conceived the plan for
this gift and through Mrs. Minnie
Groth of Baraboo, national patriotic
instructor, asked H. S. 'Siggelko of
Madison, national counselor of the
Sons of Veterans, to arrange with the
governor for ceremonies donating the
flag to the regiment of which Company
A of the First Wisconsin is now part.
This selection was made at random
by the women of the order, and other
stands of color may be presented later.
The Wisconsin party, however, gets
the first opportunity to take part in
patriotic exercises of this kind, and
the Wisconsin boys in Texas who make
up a large part of the 127th and 12S
regiments, secure initial honors in the
movement.

Suit Against Ringing Brothers for
$4,000 Is Hard-Fought Legal
Battle

Attorney John M. Kelley has re-
turned from Omaha, where he won one
of the hardest fought battles in his
experience All of the legal talent OF
that part of the country was there,
and the federal court room was crowd
ed Many items, the character of the
injured man, and other things entered
into the suit, all of which are not men.
toned. The following is from the
Omaha Bee of Monday, December 10,
1917:
The jury in the suit Of William
Rinker of Plattsmouth against Ring
ling Brothers Circus company dis
agreed and was discharged by Federal
Judge Woodrough Saturday noon after
being out eight hours. This was the
second trial of the suit. The jury in
the first trial was also unable to agree
This trial was spectacular. It began
last Monday. Each side introduced
about 35 witnesses.
Rinker sued for $4,000, alleging he
was knocked down by runaway cir
Gus wagon at Sixteenth and Dodge
streets during the circus parade, Au-
he was knocked down on the northeast
corner of the intersection. At the sec,
ond trial the location was changed to
the southwest corner.
The reporter who took the notes of
the first trial is dead and translation
of his notes was important. Finally,
by accident, a reporter was found who
read them easily. They were tran
scribed and witnesses for the plaintiff
in the first case we're confronted with
their testimony given then.
Many tits between Attorney Mathew
Gering for the plaintiff and Attorney
John M. Kelly of Chicago for the cir
Gus company occurred.
Judge Woodrough, on motion Of the
defense, ordered the jury to disregard
the testimony of some of the PLAINTIFF s
witnesses, including that of Mrs. Bates
of Plattsmouth. She testified that she
saw and recognized the plaintiff when
he was knocked down on the south
west corner of Sixteenth and Dodge
streets, although she was standing at
the corner of Sixteenth and Farnam
streets at the time. She even said the
plaintiff was knocked down by being
struck by the knee of the second horse
attached to the wagon. Judge Wood
rough ruled that this was an impossf-
BILE feat of eyesight.
A number of police officers who
were at the scene of the alleged acci
dent testified that they did not see
anyone knocked down.
Among the witnesses was Mrs. Edna
Curtis of Baraboo, Wis, who was
dressed as a princess and was riding
one of the horses in the parade. She
has been with the circus for a mum
