Nish, Serbia. April 11.-(Via Salo-
nika and London, April 2l)-A new
Slavish confederation to include Ser
bia, Croatia, Slavonia, herzegovina,
Balmatia, Istria and the ancient
kingdom beyond the Danube is the
hope of the Serbian leaders. And
when it is formed, it hopes to settle
for all time the great Balkan ques-
tions, so they may build up their
devastated country and resume their
place in the family of the nations
This was the plan and hope expressed
today by the prince regent of Serbia,
Alexander, in his first public utter
ances since the war began. He re-
ceived me in his five-room cottage
set apart for his convenience at
Kragmyovats, the general headquar-
tiers of the Serbian army, and re-
cited for the United Press details of
the great campaign the little Serbian
army has been able to wage against
the might of Austria. For a time
the prince was the interviewer, ask
ing anxiously as to my observations
in France and the probability of Italy
entering the war.
Prince Was Proud.
When he discussed the work of his
own troops, the prince waxed en-
thusiastic. 1t was plain he was
proud of the manner in which his
soldiers have twice thrown back the
entire weight of the Austrian army
and he was glad to tell of the fight
ing.
1.-THE moral force behind the SOL
der fighting for home and country
makes him invincible over the SOL
der whose only force is that inspired
by military discipline alone" he
said. 1T is this that has enabled
Serbia twice to defeat Austria and it
is that which will enable her to con-
tinue victorious to the end. Soldiers
of an agricultural country like Serbia
where every citizen owns his own
home or farm are more to be reck-
oned with than the soldier who fights
simply because he is ordered to do
so. The poorest peasant in our
army fights with grim determina-
tion and defies death to save the lit
tie patch that is his and his coun-
try's. Fighting like this is invin-
chile. personally am an ardent ad-
mirer Of military discipline and or
ganization, but 1 cannot deny that
the real source of strength of the
Serbian army is it's patriotism.
No Attempt Now.
while we have defeated the enemy
twice, do not believe that third
attempt to overwhelm us will be-

Viola Allen has thrown her whole
heart into this production. One of the
foremost actresses of the speaking

in the drama before the footlights.
She entered into the work of making
the photoplay with an eagerness that
overcame all obstacles which most
actors encounter on first appearing in
photoplay work.
1t was her determination to do the
best work of which she was capable,
not only because that has always

she wished to make living monu-
