Allied Solidarity Imperative.

Mr.. Wilson has made his own po-
sition clear to the allies. In their
public speeches they claimed. to be
in accord with him. He can assume
that they believe as he does. This is
not the time when there will be pro-
longed debate over details or quib-
bling over national interest. The sit
uation calls for solidarity among the
allies and a uniform reply. That is
what now may be expected. As for
Germany and Austria. her people will
know at last who are the barriers to
a lasting peace. The responsibility
for prolonging the war will not rest
on the nations striving for world Sc
curity and international democracy.

A Turning Point in the War.

These are but few Of the puzzling
queries that are being discussed. The
military mind trained to ward off
trickery and deception sees in the
German peace move a strategic plan
to obtain a withdrawal from north
ern France and Belgium to more Sc
cure ground, where the battle line
can be shortened and the defenses
improved. The military mind fears
that the German government wants
to cloak what would have been an
inevitable retirement under the guise
of giving up the ground as a condi-
ton of the armistice. The diplomatic
mind sees Germany beaten and her
junkheer class anxious to save as
much of the wreckage as possible and
avert social revolution. All. however,
agree that gain or loss in morale
will issue fror, the right or wrong
handling of the cards at this par
ticular moment. 1t is turning point
in the war-the allies are at the part
ing of the ways.
Those who are convinced that firm
ness must permeate the allied diplo-
matte position at this moment are
confident that only by such a stand
will the Germans be compelled to
make further offers and further
changes in their own country to guar
antee the words of their statesmen
who now hold the olive branch Moth
ing can be lost by firmness at this
hour, provided the position of the al
lies does not inspire absolute despair
for the German people and enable
their leaders again to raise the cry of
allied territorial ambition and COM
plete humiliation of the German ma
ton.

ONLY FEW EVICTION
CASES co T0COURT
Many War Workers Complain,
However, of Being Forced
From Rooms.

Although numerous complaints have
been received at the United States
homes registration service, 1414 H
street, from government war workers
and others telling Of being forced to
give up rooms and apartments in
which they have been living, indica-
tons were today that criminal pros
ecutions will be few.
District Attorney Laskey stated that
no action would be taken in the case
of the woman who, with a sick daugh-
ter, was set out of an apartment in
the northwest section of the city yes
terday by the marshal.
Mr.. Laskey said the woman was
evicted on an order obtained by due
process of law. The evicted woman,

Justice, But Not Immunity.

I'VE must be just to those to whom
we do not wish to be just" was the
spirit of the Presidents recent ad-
dress in New York. a fact that gave
the central powers the hope that they
might expect square deal from Mr..
Wilson. But they are mistaken if
they think that Mr.. Wilson's idea of
justice for those who brought on this
war is immunity. His ideas of justice
apply to the German people who have
been taught falsely and among whom
the propaganda of the German general
staff has from the beginning of the
war carried on campaign of decep-
democratic nations aligned against
Germany.
The President represents a bellig-
erent country, but the tone of his
speeches appeals to the enemy on the
theory that he will be soft and easy
at the peace table. No government
ever made graver mistake. Mr.. Will
son will stand out always for fair
deal to the German people, but for
the military group that devastated
Belgium and brought ruthlessness
into this age he will have no qualms
of conscience. He will not deal with
them Reparation must be made for
their \acts-thetr wrongdoing must
be corrected; restoration must be
done.
Mr.. Wilson was asked to commune
cate the German and Austrian notes
to the allied governments. He could
ask the opinion of Great Britain and
France before framing a reply, or
send them completed note and ask
If they approved. When answers were
received he could communicate the
replies to Germany and Austria. That
course was expected today to be the
one in process.

Response to Appeal and
Amount Asked Is
Secured

More than $1,000 was secured as a re-
suit of Tag Day for the Boys club yes
terday and once again the generous pub
lie of Birmingham went over the top in
oversubscribing the amount asked for.
A large corps of matrons and maids
were on the downtown corners and in
the public buildings early yesterday
morning selling tags and despite the
rain, remained at their posts all day.
Within short time after they appeared
practically everyone passing wore tag.
The buying of tags was not left to the
men alone, for the women of Birming-
ham were generous in buying tags, and
seemed just as willing to help in this
worthy cause as the men.
The club asked for $4,000 to tide it over
the year, but, according to statement
from members of the board of control
the success of the day was better than
they expected, ana wnlie the exact
amount of the sale could not be learned
last night. it is estimated to be well over
the $1,000 mark.

proceeded to assist the Southern Bowling
congress in the perfection of details
which are expected to result in the max
ing OF the next tournament OF the South
efn Bowling congress, which opens next

new alleys on which the events of the

overhauled and made as smooth as
glass. Thus bowlers are assured Of al
ieys which are true to the minutest
fraction of an inch, and if perfect hits
are not recorded it will not be the fault
of the alleys. 1t is up to the bowlers
themselves to prove their ability, be-
cause they will not have the chance to
afford alibis for low scores.
Entries during the past several days
have been coming in freely. Teams have
been entered from Savannah, Atlanta.
Chattanooga and other cities. An entry
has also been received for the entire
route" from Port Royal, S. c.. Lieut.. A.
G. Rome will captain a team from the
army post there Three teams are ex-
pected from Savannah and two from
Atlanta. Jacksonville las entered 10
five-men teams, and with this number
of teams assured, the number of partici-
pants in the tournament will be double
the number which participated at Savan-
nah last year, and this is especially
gratifying in view of the war. In addi-
ton to the Jacksonville teams, plans are
being made to have two teams entered
from Camp Johnston, where number
of alleys have recently been set up and
where bowling among the thousands of
men stationed there has become one of
the most favored and popular pastimes.
President Nathan Brown of the South
ern Bowling congress, who is on the
ground devoting his whole time to the
perfection of details in connection with
the congress- is more than optimistic
over the prospects. He declares that
jacksonville will send the bowlers back
to their homes all smiles. because ne
