The ideal side OF the war Is once more
emphasized by the Intervention of

new Intervention hastens the denouc-
ment.
IF there are no further waverings,
and If the new attempts of the Ger
man Chancellor are taken at their
proper value, and as they ought TO be
taken: that is to say. as provocative at
tempts, then we. in cooperation with
all nations striving to realize the
highest Ideals or humanity, shall
swiftly and surely approach vic
torious conclusion"
Michael Rodzianko. president of the

"The United States joining in the

militant imperialism. Against Ger.

crnmcnt, to-day were confirmed !, local
Federal agents. These ofiio an
nounced that steps already haNc hecn
taken in this district to prevent effcc-
tive results from arising out OF the
alleged Teutonic activities.
These efforts. however. have met with
little sympathy among the negroes.
who have pledged themselves in large
numbers &c support the President. and
render whatever service they could 10
the nation in case of war. Several at
tempts to induce negroes to rise against
the whites in tho Birmingham district
have met with no success. the officials
declared. but in some parts OF the
black belts Of Georgia and Alabama
the Tcutonic agents have succe edcd in
appealing to the negroes to an extent
requiring some precautions.
The alleged work of the Germans in
the South is believed by the Federal
agents TO be closely allied to the re-
cent exodus from the cotton belts to
Northern industrial ccnters OF large
bodies Of negro laborers.
Rumors have reached here that
farmers in some agricultural districts
have formed ku Klux Elans to meet pos
sible uprisings or disaffection.
Government agents declared to-day
that information reaching them led to
the belief that, in the event war with
Germany is declared. efforts will he

negroes to migrate to Mexico. with a
