An Interview With Manager Jones, Of .The Birth of
 Nation"

In course of a chat with Mr. Jones, manager of The Birth of a Nation, yesterday at the Elks Theater. He is apparently of the opinion that the fundamental principle back of the sue cuess of the motion pictures as a form of entertainment is the price. The dime makes for the intense popularity of the celluioid drama. Whether il is piled up millions that make for the blindness of success or not. the pro- aucer5 of the movie are bent toward making the mistake that brought about the present clamor over the downfall of tfe dramatic stage. The moving picture manufacturers-an unfortun- ate majority Of them merely are noth- ing more than manufacturers-are for getting the potency of the dime, it seems.
 Within the last year there has been a growing tendency to dignify the pie ture theater by higher prices. The Birth of a Nation" that one picture which is worth the money, was the leader ir this movement. Since then great company has been organized t. produce pictures for showing at the prices ordinarily charged for seats be- fore the speaking stage It is this pit Tall, this attempt to take the movies ! away from the crowds that have de- velored them, toward which the pie tre game" is leading.
 "Moviesr are Movies"
 The significant feature of The Birth of a Nation" from this standpoint, is the tendency of the average man tG hunt out the lower priced seats. While he more expensive seats on the main floor of the Ellis theater where the p.ctnre is being run. are ordinarily well filled ap, the upper floors of the iheater are packed at every perform ance You will find in those cheaper scots too. people who probably never have mou3ted the theater stairs in their lives.
 From this fact may be drawn the conclusion that g moving picture is q moving picture" it never can get away from poular prices if it is to succeed.

twenty-seyen athletic types Sunday
afternoon in their hall, Thirteenth and

muscular agility and grace. The girls,
all children OF well-known Bohemian
families, were the hit of the program
The girls ring drill, presented by
twenty-four girls, was another display
OF feminine athletic proves that
earned applause. Old veterans of the
society gave the mems dumb bell drill
and although some memories slipped
a cog in the exhibit the drill was a
success.
Fifteen hundred people saw the pro-

Germans Hold Fall
OF Monastir Is Not
Much of a Reverse

Berlin, Nov. 20.-(By Wireless to
Sayville. )-"Monastir's evacuation by
the Germans and Bulgars," says the
Overseas News agency, was a meas
ure which had been prepared for sew.
eral days by the chief command OF
the central allies. The Serbians had
crossed the river Cerna and, advance
ing northward with superior forces,
had reached the height north Of Che
gel after engagements in which the
tide of battle huctuated and during
which General Otto Won Bulow, at the
head of the German riflemen, stormed
and captured height,
THE height taken by the Serbians
was upon the same level as Monastir,
so that the Serbians were able to OBJ
serve the German Bulgarian positions
and were able to shell them from the
TANKS. simultaneously strong French
forces advanced upon the positions on
the Monastir plain, The maintenance
with heavy sacrifices of position
without any importance as regarded
the general strategical situation would
not have been justifable. Therefore
the evacuation Of Monastir was a mat
ter OF course, as it was lacking in
military importance.
THE Germans and Bulgarians oc-
cupied positions on the hill north of
Monastir, from which they dominated
the basin of the Cerna. Monastir is
under the range of our guns. which
means that its position is insecure.
1.-THE occupation of Monastir does
not in the least change the strategical
situation in the Balkans. General
Sarraips task, which was to accom-
plish junction with the Russia Rou-
manian army advancing from Do
brudja, has failed and now never can
be accomplished, The broad strate-
gical plan of the entente would have
been complied with if General Sar-
rail had advanced on his eastern flank,
but as he was unable to break up the
Bulgarin pressure in this sector his
principl attacks'were carried out more
and more to the westward. Although
he thus obtained minor local sue
cesses, he thereby made open avowal
of the fact that the original plan for
joining hands with Russo-Roumanian
armies had been abandoned"

White Will Fight
To Recover Money
From Decatur Bank

Albert S. White of the Central
State bank, who is trying to recover
$4,000 which he says he deposited in
the defunct Farmers State bank at
Decatur, is peeved at what he calls
the "autocratic form of government
in Nebraska, He says:
Shortly before election, the state
banking department announced
through the newspapers that It had
mailed the receiver OF the Farmers
State bank at Decatur, Neb., drafts
on the guarantee fund for an amount
sufficient to pay all depositors Of the
failed bank, except one or two whose
claims had not been allowed by the
court.
when the Central State bank Of
Omaha was organized last spring
| deposited in the Decatur bank
$4,000, belonging to the stockholders
of the proposed Central State bank
This deposit was made with full re-
lance in the good faith and integrity
of the Nebraska law providing a
guarantee fund for the payment oil
the deposits in failed banks.
After the failure of the Decatur
bank, some of the large depositors
went into court and proved the valid
ity of their deposits. In our case we
had, in addition to our correspondence
with the bank, the sworn testimony
of the cashier and the vice president
of the Decatur bank as to the validity
and regularity Of our deposit, and no
evidence whatever was offered by the
banking board as reason why this
DEPOSIT should not be paid. Accord
ingly, Judge Day, before whom the
proceedings were heard, ordered the
payment OF our claim,
"A few days ago | telephoned the
receiver of the Decatur bank, asking
why we had not received our $1,000
He informed me that he had paid all
of the other depositors in the bank,
but notwithstanding Judge Days or
der that our claim be paid, the bank
ing board, comprised OF Governor J.
H. Morehead, Auditor Mr.. Smith and
Attorney General Reed, had instruct
ed him that our deposit was not to
be paid"

STEWART HAS NEW
PLAYS FOR IOWANS
Cornhusker Coach Discards Old
Formations and Will Develop
New Line of Stuff,
BONES BY COOK AND Galley

Lincoln, Nov, 2o.-(Special,) Just
by way of making the Husker squad
forget all about the nightmare Of last
Saturday, DR., E. J, Stewart put them
through a vigorous scrimmage to-
night. ..a. s.. -
With very few exceptions the
Huskers emerged from the Saturday
conflict in splendid physical condi'
ton for the fray with Iowa at Iowa
City next Saturday afternoon. Some
of the backheld men were Juggling
minor bruises, but Stewart is rejoic-
ing to think no one was more seri'
ously injured.
One thing is certain--Nebraska
will not present a claim for the Mis-
souri, Valley championship, although
the Huskers are, on top Of the pile
so far as percentages go, The Jay
hawkers lost one conference game
and were tied in one; the Missouri
Tigers lost one and were tied in one,
and Ames lost one and tied in one.
Nebraska alone suffered one defeat.
The Husker management and the un-
dergraduate body feel that a cham
pionship based on those claims Is not
worth having.
It will be the accepted view at Ne
braska that there Is not a champion
ship eleven worthy Of the name in
the entire Missouri Valley confer
enee and Missouri, Kansas and Ames
can have one joyous little battle all
to themselves for the empty title.
Cook and Galley Planned.
The Husker undergraduates are
still dazed by the result Of the Sat
urday game. In some quarters criti-
cisr OF Coach Stewart has been
heard, but it is not general, The gen
eral feeling here is that the poor gen.
eralship OF Cook and Galley and the
fatal mistake OF Oteupalik in the
third quarter cost the Huskers con-
ference crown. Cook, perhaps, is to
be more eensured than Galley il any
censure is to be given, for he fell
flat in his judgment when the ,Husk-
ers had the ball in Kansas territory
and were knocking at the Kansas
goal for touchdown.
Dr. Stewart spent an entire week
drilling the Huskers on new forma-
lions. When Nebraska was within
reach Of touchdown Cook forgot
all about the new formations and
kept hammering away with straight
football, ramming the. line and ham
mering the ends, Galley called just
one new formation and called it at
a time when It never should have
been used--when the ball was close
to the Nebraska goal. 1t failed to
work and the Huskers were spilled
for ten-yard loss, The experience
frightened Galley so badly he did not
call for another.
Coach Remains Calm.
The Nebraska coach alone remains
calm and refuses to comment on the
Kansas defeat. He said he did not
have a word Of criticism for any
member OF the team.
Starting tonight, the Huskers will
make an effort to wipe out the sting
of that one defeat by cleaning up on
Iowa and Notre Dame. All of the
old formations are to be showed into
the discard and a new line of stuff
developed. Stewart is going to de-
termine upon lineup and use it for
the remainder of the season,
About the first thing the Huskers
have before them is to acquire rudi-
mentary knowledge of the forward
pass.
