EVEN THIS STORY HAD
THE TOUCH--HUMAN

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 1.-The Birth
of Nation" which will be seen here
at the Atlanta next week, has behind
it, like nearly every great work of art,
a poignant human story.
The production of the picture orig
mated in the mind Of D. w. Griffith.
who was then working for a well
known regular film company. After
he had made four or five reels of the
picture, his directors came to him in
panic and asked him if he knew how
lhuch it was costing to make the pic
ture. He said yes, that he did know.
and that it was costing about $4,000
per reel.
How many more reels do you
think you will have to make?" they
asked him, and he expressed the be-
i;ef that it would take maybe eight or
ten more, meaning a total further out
ley of something like half a million
dollars for one feature.
The film magnates didn't have the
nerve to face it. Rather than go in
the hole for half million, they pre-
sented the several reels already made
TO Mr.. Griffith as a gracious gift, and
told him to do what he liked with it.
The only money he had in the world
was $4,000 which he had put away in
bonds in his wife's name, and they
promised never to touch that. He
talked it over with her and they agreed
TO risk their all Some venturesome
trends put up more money and finally
the picture was completed at an enor-
nous cost. Not even Griffith himself
knew whether it would ever pay out
or not.
But the picture was stupendous
success, and, it is rumored, will come
near making Griffith millionaire, al
though he gets only part of the re-
turns.

WILL PRESIDENT
SPRING A SURPRISE
Indications Are White House
Wedding May Take
Place Next Week

Washington, Oct. 1l.--Are President
Wilson and his fiancee, Mrs. Norman
Gait, planning to surprise the nation
This was the question everywhere to-
day, and society believes that they are
by having their wedding very soon.
Here is the evidence that strengthens
this belief The president slipped
away from the White House today
and bought a big wardrobe trunk.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
and his wife, the presidents daughter,
scheduled to go west last Friday, nave
not gone yet.
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
and his wife, the presidents daugh,
ter, scheduled to go west last Friday,

Secretary of War Garrison and his
wife are returning from Hot Springs
this week, instead of next as original
ly planned.
Mrs, Daniels, wife of Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, now visiting in the
south will hurry home Immediately.
Margaret Wilson not expected to the
White House until Friday is coming
Immediately. All these things were
regarded as more than coincidence, and
society thought they pointed to a
wedding this week or next.
The only thing learned definitely re-
garding the wedding trip was that II
will not go to San Diego The presi
dent has sent letter to the school
superintendent there saying it seemed
impossible to accept the invitation OF
school children to go there. The peti
tions bore thousands of children
signatures and when tightly rolled
made paper cylinder nearly foot in

congratulations from foreign rulers
today.

GREECE AND RUMAN|A
MAY ATTACK BULGARIA
All Balkans Uneasy Lest
They Make a Mistake In
Picking the Winner
By ]. W. T. Mason.

(Written for the United Press)
New York, Oct ll.-Bulgnria 5 re.
luctance to begin the expected often
sive against Serbia Is probably ex'
planned by Gar Ferdinand's 3 protest to
Athens against the allies using Greek
territory.
The Bulgars should be prepared at
least TO send a supporting force 10 Ser
bia to assist the Teutons and to create
a diversion along the Bulgarian From
tier. No hostile move, however, has
yet been reported from Nish. There is
a possibility that this means Bulgaria
may consider discretion better than val
or, and refuse TO enter the war. The
Bulgars, like all Balkan people, are on
the lookout for the winner and their
opinions fluctuate constantly.
The sudden landing Of the allies at
Salonika introduced an unexpected Gle
ment into the situation and this is eaus'
ing uneasincss at Sofia.
With Great Britain and France re-
mforcing Serbia, there is an even
chance tnat the Serbs will be able 10
deadlock the invasiOns, Bulgarin must
concentrate parts Of her army on the
Rumanian and Greek frontiers. Hence
If she were to waste her main strength
against Serbia, Greece and RumaIda
might take advantage Of her weakness
and attack Bulgaria.
The new Greek ministry has shown
no evidences of consentng 10 Bulgar
in 5 demand that Greece close the al
I lies road 10 Serbia.

"A billowing sea of more than 10000
faces, rising tier on tier until it seemed
they almost met the sky, saw the Red
Sox and Phillies resume their quest Of
world 3 championship this afternoon
in the most magnificent ball park in
the world. 1t was the biggest baseball

Seemingly far in the distance loomed
the walls Of the park, over which it
would seem impossible for batted

practice succeeded in putting the bah

Thirteen thousand crush y seats
were filled to sardine clOseness four
hours before game time. The huge
grandstand was slower in filling, for
at l O'Clock only few seats were
occupied.
Red Sox Careful.
The Red Sox showed their fear of
alien ground by taking the field at
noon and working steadily for two
hours. Every foot of ground was gone
over for mysterious spots which might
turn the course of ball game.
The Phillies came on the field al

the diamond for batting practice.
Erskine Mayer, who pitched last

the batters.
The crowd gave both Alexander anc
Cravath "hands" when they took theii
respective turns. Every eye in thu
park was on "Cactus" as he swung
with all his might and put two balls
far and away in the outfield,
Alexander was the only Philly pitch
er TO take any battling practice.
The size of the new Braves park wa'
simply appalling to Philadelphia fan'

ninth, Hooper, who heretofore had
gone hitless led OFF with n low liner

the Boston attack, sent him to second
with sacrifice, and then came Speak

Alexander.
The Californian slammed the first
ball pitched for Il screaming liner over

run that put the immense stands on lie

II was a game that had the immense

continually. Alexander called lucky

After that the game settled down to
