thy Among COlOred Citizens, Who
Stand Fast by United States.

Birmingham, Ala, April 4.-Re-
ports that agents of the imperial Ger
man government are using Elm
Grove, negro settlement near
Greensboro, N. c., as headquarters for
campaign to incite Southern ne
groes against the government of the
United States today were confirmed
by local federal agents. The alleged
activities. according to the officials
here, have extended to the tobacco
and cotton belts of Georgia, Alabama,
and Carolinas and parts of Florida.
These efforts, however have met
with little sympathy among the me-
groes, who have pledged themselves
in large numbers to support the pres
ident and render whatever service
they could to the nation in case of
war.
The alleged work of Germans in
the South is believed by the federal
agents to be closely allied to the re-
cent exodus from the cotton belt to
Northern industrial centres of large
bodies of negro laborers.
Rumors have reached here that
farmers in some agricultural districts
have formed Ku Klux Klans to meet
possible uprisings or disaffection but
these have not been confirmed by
federal authorizes here.
Government agents declared today
thf information reaching them led to
the belief that in the event war with
Germany is declared, efforts viii be
made by German agents to induce ne
groes to migrate to Mexico with a
view to crippling industries in the
South which depend on negro labor.
At the United States marshaps Of
ice in Jacksonville, Fla, today it was
admitted that a close watch is being
maintained by federal officers for pos
sible efforts of German agents to in
cite the negroes. Reports reaching
there, it was said, indicate that such
efforts have met with no success.

AMERICA STUDIES SUBMARINES.
Closely Guarded Secrets Expected TO
Come Into Possession of United
States Navy.

SOme INTO Possession of United
States Navy.
washington, April 3.-All the close
~ guarded secrets of submarine CATCH
ing developed by the entente navies
are expected to come into possession
of the American navy now that the
United States is ready to enter the
war. AS the capacity of German navy
yards-now that standard of con-
struction has developed-is said to be
two submarines a eek, the suppress
sion of the campaign would seem to
depend only on development of eff
cheney in submarine catching. Ameri-
can officials take for granted that
Germany will not wait for aggressive
action by the United States but will
seek to terrorze America by sending
submarines to lombard coast towns
and raid shipping on this side of the
Atlantic. M
