Said To Have Headquarteri In Guilford County--Try To Incite Negroes. Birmingham, Ala., April 4. Reports that agents of the Ger man government are using Elm i lirove, a negro settlement neat Greensboro, N. 0., as hfeadquart ers for a campnign to inciU scothern negroes aginst the govei : ment of the United States today were confirmed by local federal ' agents. The activities, extend ' to the tobacco and cotton belts oi ' Georgia, Alabama, the Carolines, and parts of Florida, t These efforts, however, have > met with little sympathy among i the negroes, who have pledged ; themselves in large numbers to support the President and fender whatever service they could to. the Ration in case of war. Jja jpwj| iIAA nofir. roes to rise against the whftas la the Birmingham district have met with no success, the officials declared, but in some parts oi the belts of Georgia and Alabama the Teutonic agents have suc ceeded in appealing to the negroes to an extent requiring some precautions. The alleged work of the Ger mans in the south is believed by the federal agents to be closely allied to the recent exodus from the cotton belts to northern in dustrial centers of large bodies of negro laborers. Rumors.have reached here that farmers in some agricultural dis tricts have formed the Ku Klux Klana to meet possible uprising or disaffection. Goverment agents declared to day that information reaching them led to the belief that in the event war with Germany is declared, efforts will be made by I German agents to induce negroes . to migrate to Mexico with a view Ito crippling industries in the so :th which depend on negro I labor. i RUB OUT PAIN wi h good oil liniment.
