COMPANY G SAFE-STORIES OF
DISASTER NOT TRUE
To the People of Wausau:

To the People of Wausau
The stories circulated about Com
pany G being destroyed are not true
This story has been carefully run
| down to where it started with this re-
suit:
At $50 o'clock in the forenoon OF
the day the story started, fourteen
year old boy heard his mother and
| another woman, both of whom have
relatives in the service, talking to-
gether, and one woman asked the
other: when did you hear from your
boy?" This fourteen year old boy then
interrupted and said 81 heard Company
G was shot all to pieces" The two
women then started telephoning others
who have sons or relatives in the
service to get information. The per-
sons of whom they inquired COM
menced repeating it as fact, and so
it spread.
The story has been carefully traced
down with this result to the fourteen
year old boy mentioned. He says he
overheard couple of men about a
week before that talking about Com
pany G, does not remember who they
WClS VI Wutl 6iIuOT Sdlu, UuI UnOuSDL
from the way they talked something
had happened. He said nothing about
it to anyone and did not hear of it
from anyone else, and thought moth
ing more about it until he heard the
two women talking, when he made
the above statement.
This false story started by an ir-
responsible boy and innocently spread
by a considerable number of people
has caused much trouble in the COM
munity.
We take this opportunity to make
known to the people of the city these
three facts
1. Company G is still safe, and if
any losses occur the War Depart
ment will wire directly to the rela-
tives before letting any one else know.
2. Every person hearing any sim
liar story should inquire from the
authority before spreading it.
3. Any person found maliciously
starting such a false story will be
reported to the proper authorities for
prosecution.
