I'ete Her man of New Orleans, world's bantam weight champion, was awarded a de cision by Referee Goldman over Frankie Burns of Jersey City, here last nigh at the end of a 20-round bout. It was Herman's fight all the way and in the opinion of many ringside authorities it was only Burns' ability to stand punishment and his ring gen eralship that saved him from being knocked out. Herman was credited with 13 rounds, Burns four and three wev-e even. , Burns led the fighting in the early rounds, taking the offensive and ap parently seeking to bring the fight to a quick close by the knockout route. After the 10th, however, he tired and with the exception cjf a rally in the 14th was as good as out of it. In rounds five, eight, 12, IS, and 18, Her man started furious offensive tactics, chasing his opponent around the ring and raining blows on his ribs ana f face. He seemed to have everything t but a knockout blow. Burns' other rounds were the fourth, seventh and 10th. He delivered several hard body blows in the seventh that seemed to 5 bother Herman considerably. ;.'

An appalling story of cold blooded massacres by Germans of crews of British North Sea convoys in a recent battle is told by the Norwegian newspapers. The Tidenstegn said the German cruisers were observed at 6 o'clock in the morning and were thought to be British vessels, but at 7 o'clock, when there was more light, they sud denly began shooting and the convoy was terrified to see the British de stroyer at" the stern of the convoy begin to sink, although it fought to the ei?d. . The German cruisers? after signalling the vessels to stop, ad vanced on each side ot the convoy, which they swept with all their guns at a range of less than 200 yards. Death and Destruction. The German destroyers came up and helped to spread death and de struction on the defenseless ships, shells falling thick and fast. The Ger mans were not content to sink the ships, but shelled the life boats, and every living thing coming their way was mercilessly slaughtered. The sur vivors owed their lives to the high sea which was running, making the boats a difficult mark. , In the midst of the massacre, an other British destroyer came up and immediately attacked, but soon was sunk in the unequal struggle. The German flotilla then truiscd backward and forward along the sinking steam ers, pouring a fresh and terrible rain of shells at a range of 100 yards. One shell went through the Swedish ship Wirndar, exploding in the life boat on the other side and killing all its occupants, 12 men and three women. Girls Jump Overboard. The other life boat rowed back to rescue the captain and two waitresses from the wreclV A shell struck the boat arid killed five of its occupants, only the mate escaping by swimming. The Wirndar was a mass of flames and the two girls jumped into the sea; The captain was saved by clinging to wreckage. As the two young women were sinking, an English ship hoisted the white flag. The answer from the Germans was a shot which killed both girls. Twelve mn of another shin had just got into the life boat when a shell killed them all: Services for Terry. Little Rock, Ark.. Nov. 6.

Monahan, leading Omaha manufacturers, escaped with their lives fr6m a meeting of the poli tical and social seience department of the Omaha Woman's club Monday. But that's all! They came before the women to ar gue In behalf of the repeal of the nine-hour-day for women. Their words brought a spirited response. Verbal shrapnel scattered at tirrfes be sides. The women are all up in arms against Mr. Fodrea. He called women of 40 or 50 years of age, "old"! Yes, "old"! And nine out of every ten women in his audi ence were past the two-score milcl stone. Do you wonder he escaped with his life? Two weeks ago, following a talk made by T. V. Reynolds of the state federation of labor, the department took a stand in opposition to letting down the bars on the nine-hour-day for women, an action urged by local manufacturers to the State Council of Defense. When this was published. W. L. Burgess of the Omaha Manu facturers' association wrote to the leader, Mrs. Benjamin S. Baker, ask ing for a hearing. This was granted. Shortage of Labor. The shortage of female labor makes it necessary for women to work over time in order. that biscuit manufac turers, for instance, may fill their or ders, Mr. rodrea, of the Iten Biscuit company, spokesman of the party, pointed out. "Even the government is no longer working on an eight-hour basis," he said. "The nine-hour law is class legislation. If it were attacked in the courts, it would be declared un constitutional. The law is all right in normal times but is hard to keep dur ing war times." R. L. Wilder of tke Loose-Wiles Biscuit company conceded the nine hour law had worked well and re sulted in a higher degree of efficiency, on a query put by Mrs. D.,G. Craighead. "If that is so, why did the manufac turers oppose the passage of the nine hour law several years ago?" asked Mrs. Craighead, who is chairman of the legislative department.

We put up a semb lance of a fight so that we might be met half-way and sort of compro mise on the law," Mr. Fodrea replied. Mr. Fodrea declared the manufac turers were as hard-pressed a set of people as the working girl was made out to be. "We can't even agree among ourselves to abate some evil in industry but what we are accused of combining in restraint of trade and branded as criminals," he said. Want Extra Pay "Ninety per cent of the women em ployed, in our factories are willing to work overtime. They want to make extra pay," said Mr. Fodrea. "There's a good reason why. They only make $7 per week," murmured one listener. Mr. Fodrea said this was the mini mum paid untrained women. Until five months ago, it was $6. "Many housewives work nine hours a day and then spend time after that in Red Cross work," continued he. "Wouldn't a woman serve her coun try and help the nation just as much by working a few hours overtime in the same place where she is working all day, rather than knit herself half blind after the day's work is done?" was the thought advanced by the bis cuit factory man. "Besides they could afford t6 contribute a little something to war funds by extra money they made." "It's a poor housewife who can't do her work in less thaji nine hours," re torted Mrs. Craighead. Defends Knitters. "And knitting is not so hard, a wo man sits when she knjts and further more it's a change in work, which is beneficial," defended Mrs. William Archibald Smith of the National Ser vice league which is issuing a call for knitters. Parisians Would Name A Street for Wilson Paris, Nov. 6. The Seine federa tion of the radical socialist party to day asked its representatives in the Paris municipal council to propose naming a street in the capital after President Wilson. "One girl told me she wanted to make extra money with which to buy Christmas presents," one of the other manufacturers said. But the clubwomen took no further action. As the minutes now stand, the department is still for the sus tainment of the nine-hour law. Preceding the speeches of the busi ness men, Dr. Jennie Callfas of the State Council of Defense, talked on the conservation of girls. "You can't expect girls to be good on $7 a week when they haven't any thing to be good with. After a girl pays $2 a week for the poorest kind of room, she can't buy enough good food, clothe herself and pay her laun dry on the remainder. Many em ployers even right here in Omaha keep wages low purposely in order to force girls to accept financial help from them," said Dr. Callfas. Dr. Callfas advocates a home or club for working girls, at a cost of $100,000. The first funds for the new building will be raised November 19 when the Brandeis theater manage ment will turn over their proceeds for the night's performance. Mr. Burgess of the manufacturers' committee assured the clubwomen he was -much interested in their project to build a club for working girls. "The business men of Omaha will always help you in any manner they can and will stand behind this project," he said.
