CHARGE MISUSE OF
KU KLUX INITIALS
Atlanta, Nov. 29—A palpable mis
use of the initials “K. K. K.,” signed
to threatening notices posted on trees
and the doors of negro houses is
bringing serious complaint from far
mers of several South Georgia coun
ties notably Oglethorpe and Oconee,
according to information given out
here yesterday by Assistant Com
missioner of Labor and Immigration
Christie.
Lately there has been considerable
concern among the farming people of
the middle and lower part of the
state over the unrest among negro
tenants and laborers, and lately signs
have appeared on the h
groes and sometimes on trees purport
ing to give notice to all the negroes
to leave the community within
These notices, according
Christie, hove almost invariably been
signed “K. K. K." Upon investigation
made by Mr. Christie, he found that
where such notices have been put
in the night time, the following day
there would ‘‘happen along" an im:
gration agent who has been able
tell the negroes of the neighborhood
Just wchere they can find steady work
and to give them the “name of
man ready to pay the railroad fan
to Ohio, Pennsylvania and frequently
to Detroit.
Iii the last few days, Mr. Christie
says, a mass meeting of the country
people was held in Oglethorpe county
when assurances were given the ne
groes that they would be protected
but it has had little effect in stopping
he exodus. His department, he says
has sent letters to the ordinaries nnd
county commissioners of each of the
counties, and to chief of police in the
cities, calling attention to the law c
immigration agents, and asking for •
co-operation with the state depart
ment in stopping the outgo of r
labor. The first of next week it is Mr.
Christie’s purpose to go into the 1
fected counties and make a further
personal Investigation {to definitely
•rmine whether or not the notices
being posted by or for immigra-
agents, or whether there is any
legitimate connection with the organi- Pei
initials are being used. '
In either event if the direct connec-
established legal action will
be taken. The department does nol
believe, though, the Ku Klux Klan has
had anything to do with the posting
■f notices.
From other sources it is learned
that, while some immigration agents
working in the state, such of
1 as are known are found to have

GREAT AUDIENCE IN THE j
CHICAGO AUDITORIUM j
Chicago, Nov. 29—Standing with out 1
spread arms before an audience thnt
packed the auditorium, Georges Clo
menceau yesterday pleaded with Amer

Patiently seeking to explain away
the charges of militarism and imperial

old Tiger declared that France sought
only peaco, but that war was being
forced upon her.
‘‘If France does not get the help
that she needs,” he declared In emo
