Wisconsin, say you're ready

Old Wisconsin's battle cry!
Old Abe once called your soldiers
When your country was at war
Are you ready, now, Wisconsin,
To heed the call once more7
The fife and drum once thrilled you
When your nation needed mem
Old Glory waved and filled you
With a fighting spirit then;
One country, now, Wisconsin,
One flag, worth fighting for!
Wake up! Wake up, Wisconsin!
Your Uncle Sans at war!

GIVES ALL TO HIS COUNTRY
The Story of Richard Prokop, Real
American, Now on His Way
to France.

Madison, Wis.-The story of Rich
ard Prokop should never be forgot
Ten in Wisconsin.
Private Prokop-he is on his way
to the front as a member of the ar
tillery branch of the regular army
and soon may be Somewhere In
France-may never know or believe
that he is anything more than patri-
otto young man. but his story should
be made to live.
When the war Is over Wisconsin
will possess her quota of heroes who
will receive the credit that is their
due Private Prokop probably will be
forgotten then. So let his story be
told now.
This young mamie is only 22-did
not know much about America when
he left Bohemia four years ago. He
had been told that it was a land of
opportunity and he came.
He worked at farm work four years,
and the other day he registered for
service. Then he enlisted in the reg
ular army for the war.
He had saved $3.50, and it was in a
bank drawing four per cent interest.
He drew it out and bought $500 worth
of Liberty Bonds, which pay 31a per
cent interest, but 100 per cent in sat.
isfaction that the owner is doing
something for his country.
Private Prokop may give his life
for his country, which he has learned
to know in four short years as the
greatest country on earth. When he
went away he said he was glad to
have that opportunity.
He has given his savings to Uncle
Sam besides.
When he left for the front every
man in the Office of the State Council
stood at attention until he had passed
through the door.

Grasshof Held In
Lonely Confinement
After Diary Found

Capt. Karl Grasshof, commander of
the German gunboat Geier, was in
termed in Honolulu Nov. s, 1914, and
retained his freedom on parole until
the attempt was made to destroy the
machinery aboard the German war
ships and merchantmen in February,
1916. His parole was then revoked
and he and the German crews were
confined at Schofield Barracks.
Later with the discovery Of the
diary which revealed the wide range
of the violations of the neutrality OF
the United States, together with the
breaking of their word of honor and
parole while they were interned, Cap
tain Grasshof was tried by court-mar'
tial and placed in solitary confine-
ment, where he remained until the
German prisoners were transferred
during the summer to Fort Douglas, at
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Captain Grasshof was seemingly a
man of refinement and education and
imbued with all the principles Of the
Kaiser's school of warfare.

German AttackUpon
Canada Was Rurlor

Blunders at times ludicrous are
shown in relief many places in the
Grasshof diary, but in none better than
at mention of kilograms received
from the mainland regarding the sub
marine scare in the South Pacific.
1.-THE report of a German submarine
in the South Pacific is true" said
the message which was sent here
Circulate this report widely"
1t is known now that no German
submarine ever reached the South
Pacific, but obviously had there been
one its operations and the word of it's
presence would have been kept secret
as long as possible by the Germans.
The appearance CT a German official
wirelessing a lie to his accomplices
here and expecting them not only t.
report it but also to believe it is
funny enough to laugh at.
This is a sample of the desperate at
tempts to brighten shipping, and it
will be remembered how generally
widespread the story became.
The question naturally arises as to
how it would have been possible for
wireless messages to have been sent
from the Geier without the teIi-taie
sputter of the instruments giving
knowledge Of w1at was going on inside
the vessel.
1t will be remembered, however,
chat the Geier crew had a band
- brass band of considerable size
and volue. 1t is easy to believe
therefore that during the evenings
when that band was playing its fav-
orite tunes down below another
tune, accompanied by alternating
flashes of light from a wireless instru-
ment of no mean power, was being

Until today the fate OF that second

DID BRASS BAND ON GEIER
COVER NOISE MADE WHEN
SECRET WIRELESS WORKED

One Of the messages received here
by the German consulate, according
to the Geier officer, was one directing
that information be spread on the re-
port that Germans in America were
planning an attack in force upon
Canada.
AS this message was received by
the consulate, according to Grasshof,
the question arises if the answer to
it was sent by that same office. This
answer stated that the message was
unintelligible and asked for further
information.
No reply was received to this query
which Grasshof directed but was it
sent by the local consulate?
Curiosity was too strong to be quiet
ed, however, and about week later a
second query was sent to find out the
meaning Of the first message. AD
answer came to this stating that the
matter was settled.
Viewed from the point Of neutrality,
an attempt of this sort to stir up
trouble in which the United States
would actually figure with its next
door neighbor. Canada, in case such
an attack should be made, must ap
pear as one of the most serious
breaches of faith recorded in the cap
tain's annals, it is declared.

4.-That the Geier, though informed

Grasshof under examination stated
that he thought the vessel caught
practically all transpacific mes
saees. That message was received
from the consulate stating the Geier
would transmit to the Cormoran at
Guam.
5.-That desperate efforts were made
to stir up trouble between the United

5.-That deliberate attempts were also
made to give belief to the rumor
that Germans in the United States
were planning an attack against
Canada, the intention of the rumors
evidently being to brighten Canada
into keeping part of the army at
home. The Honolulu consulate re-
ceived a message concerning this and
evidently sent two inquiries about it
asking instructions.
That Boy-ed wrote a letter here
crediting an American submarine
commander with the statement to a
Geier officer that he would like to

3.-That following the sinking Of the
Lusitania preparations were made to
disable German war and merchant
vessels, as was later done when re-
Iations were broken with Germany.
That the guns on the Geier were
destroyed in May, 1915, however, just
after the Lusitania sinking. A mes
sage from Won Bernstorff to hold up
from such action arrived here too
late to save them.
,.-That Albert Wehde, an American
citizen, whose story is already we'll
known in Honolulu, was at the Homo
lulu consulate on May %, and was
met there by Capt. Grasshof. This
is the Wehde who is now serving
sentence on the mainland for plot

Io.-That 6oy-ed in telegram from
