This Is No Time
 To Play Politics

1H HE attempt to inject partisan pol
 N itics into the war is deplored by all American citizens who place pa triotism above selfish interests. The American government is now playing a part in the affairs of Europe fraught with grave significance, not only for this country and our allies, but for the whole world. To heap vitupera- tion and abuse on President Wilson, who is the recognized spokesman for the worlds democracies, cannot fail to create an unfavorable impression abroad.
 The American people have stood solidly behind their commander in chief in this war. He has conducted himself wisely and we'll. His states Imanship and good judgment have raised America inestimably in the es- teem of the European governments. Self-seeking politicians who try to create division of sentiment and bring the administration into disrepute are playing into the hands of Germany and weakening the stand America has taken in the war.
 l The hue and cry raised by such nsen as Hays, Lodge and Roosevelt may not disturb the interallied deliberations at Versailles, but it will be heard there and it will be heard in Germany. We have a "home front" and it should be kept intact. The yelping of disgruntled politicians should not be needed. We haven't won this war yet and until it is won, it is the duty of every Amer ican, regardless of party affiliations, to uphold the President.

 It now remains for the patriotic people of Birmingham to come forward promptly, and with their contributions enable the chapter to complete its un- dertaking by the end of the present week.

BOTH of whom had lived at the FitZ-

ent times, bore out the wife's charges.
Charge Against Daughter.
After Mrs. Fitzsimmons had filed
her petition, her husband filed an
answer and cross-petition. charging
his wife with infidelity and alleging
that her daughter by a former mar
riage. Pearl Edwards, had conducted
herself in such a notorious manner as
to bring shame and reproach upon
their heads, and that when he tried to
correct her her mother took her part
and roundly abused him.
Eva Lister stated that she had new
er known the girl to conduct herself
unbecomingly, but that while working
home, whereupon Fitzsimmons had
told Miss Lister that the girl was suf-

Lister held. however, that Miss Ed
wards indisposition was caused by
tuberculosis of the ankle and said that
she is still compelled to walk on
crutches.

Miss Lister stated that Fitzsimmons
would not permit young men to call
on his stepdaughter, and Mrs. Scofield
