Though such a prolonged osculation taxed the credulity of the spectators in the courtroom, Ketchum, who took the witness stand in his own defense, described the kiss in detall and ox- plained how he had to gasp for breath and struggle to free himself from the caress, And the original soul kiss was not the only one the couple indulged in, he sald. His courtship, he told the Court, was just one round of soul kiss- ing—morning, noon and night. “Il was bewildered, flabbergasted, mystified and nearly suffocated,” Ketchum told his lawyer, Abraham Levy, Ketchum accounted for his wife's originality in the kissing ne by stating that he was the first man who ever kissed her—Icast she told him that and he had good reason to be- eve she was right.

WILSON IS DETERMINED VON NUBER SHALL GO WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Diplomatic relations with Austria- Hungary are in danger of being broken off by the United ‘States unless the urgent demands of the American note to Vienna for a disavowal of the sinking of the Ancona and reparation are complied with at once. It is stated that the note amounts to an ultimatum and that this country has placed itself in a position to sever diplomatic relations with Vienna. It is understood that President Wilson has also decided that Aus- trian Consul General von Nuber at New York must go. The evidence against this official has been accumulating for some time, but as in the case of von Papen, action has been postponed, it is understood, for reasons best known to the Administration. ee 1 ia understood to be this nv's view that owing to the rela- n Germany and Aus- ing and punish the commander. The circumstances of the Ancona singing, State Department officials explain, Indicate that not only was lit- tle attention paid to the safety of pas- ners taken from the vessel and placed in open boats but there was proof that much of the shelling of the Ancona was unnecessary and exceed- ed the demands of the situation. There was sufficient evidence, offt- clals pointed out, to Justify the belief that, regardless of his order concern- ing the sinking of the vessel, the oap- tain had been unduly careless and in Austria iy asked to award 6 differont in his treatment of passen- tion for damages, give assuran as | wers and his general observance of the to further conduct, disavow the #ink- lobligations imposed upon bim, BRITISH AND FRENCH DRIVEN FROM SERBIA, BERLIN CLAIMS — fonship bet tria it was only necessary to handle the Ancona incident with the wtanding that Vienna is familiar with his country’s attitude and that nego- tations should be pleked up wh hey were left off with Germany.
