D MEN | by Germans many, to acoompllsh which: the sub- sequently dismissed Boy-I2d issued instructions to Grasshof to provide the Germans with false passports. Second—That A. V. Kirscheisen, a quartermaster on the transpacific liner China, was a German secret service agent, ‘Who Is referred to in German reports as “K-17.” Kirsch- cisen acted as a messenger for the Germans_ and carried messages from spies and agents in San Francisco to German agents in the Far East and vice versa. He frequently used the China’s wireless to send messages in code and made reports to the Ger- man consulates in'San Francisco and Honolulu. Kirscheisen is now under arrest in Denmark, charged with giv- ing Information regarding the move- ’| ments of Danish merchant ships. in order to escape tion by Japanese fence service at the p! international hos- d Count von Bern- man ambassader . to trouble for the United “with Japan. g, on Beptember 26 unced in Washing- d the war on the side wshot shows that the .commander and his crew en- cted to appreciate the fact owed their safety, and per- # r lves, to the protection af; them by the American author- Honoluhu.

Grasshof/ has stated, The Ledger adds, that the Geier caught all transpacific mes- sages, intercepted scores of Ameri- can government despatches, and com- municated with German raiders at sea. Fourth—Messages were deliberate- 1y wirelessed in" English, the wording of them being such as to start rumors of trouble between the United States and Japan in the event they were picked up by allied craft. One such message told of a Japanese landing in Mexico Which, it was stated, Japan had authorized. Y Fifth—Circulation of reports that| . the Germans in the) United States ‘were planning an invasion of Canada. The diary shows that Georg Rodiek, German consul at Honolulu, received orders to circulate this report. 8ixth—That von Papen circulated a report that an American submarine commander had said that he would “like to do something to those Japs outside” (referring to a Japanese cruiser on patrol:duty), provided he (the American commander) and the Germans could reach an agreement. Grasshof subsequently admitted that this statement, attributed to von Papen, was a lle. .Seventh—That after the sinking of the Lausitania plans were made to de- stroy or disable all German ships in American waters in the event the United States declared war. The guns of ;the Gejer, werc rendered useless immedtately after the sinking of the Lusitania. A message from Bern- storff to {elay the destruction of the guns arrived too late. Eighth—That Boy-Ed, in a mes- sage to Grasshof, ordered a story cir- eulated that Germanwubmarines were operating in the Pacific. Ninth—That Boy-Ed tried to trans- for friendly wireless operators to Honolulu to “listen in” on transpaci- fic wireless, in this way relieving the overwprked pperatorsion the Geler. Here i5 the diary entry about an American naval officer offering to aid the Germans against'the Japanese: “February 20, 1915. A letter from Boy-Ed, in which he states that Cap- tain von Papen, military attache, told him that since the interning an Amer- ican submarine (at Honolulu) came alongside and its- commander made the .following remarks to the watch officer (of the Geier): ‘I would like to do something against.the Japs ou side, if we could come to some agree- ment.’ After speaking with the offi- cer on watch at the time, I reparted to Boy-Ed' that the report 'was “un- true.” Another message found in the diary reads: “Please quietly and in an incon- spicuous manner circulate rumor of a plan to attack Canada.” Another message igned states that somebody friendly to the Germans had obtained fifty-one guns and fourteen boxes. of ammunition. Another message suggested that these and other guns be dropped “wit] tton in the bay and covered cau- with NEW TALKING “ MACHINE OWNERS We begto offer you the NEW VICTOR CATALOG, which is recognized as THE greatest book of MUSIC, ‘a work which has required 20 years of constant research and the expenditure of over ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.
