WOMEN TO SEE FIGHT?
YES, SAYS MRS. RICHARD
Promoters Wife Going, Too,
but Declares She's Neutral.

Women as prizefght fans? Why
not?" said Mrs. Tex Ricksrd, wife OF
the promoter, yesterday.
There isn't any answer to the ques-
ton. as those who watch the audience
tonight at the Willard-Morsn heavy
weight championship contest will learn
There will be women there. They VIII
greet the left jabs and right hooks
with intelligent appreciation, not shud-
dcrs. and will reserve their screams
for future occasions when mice, not
beavyweights, are in the ring.
ITS natural, and not at all un-
uonanlv. for women 10 attend prize
fights" declared Mrs. Rickard, at the
waldorf. Extreme brutality finds no
place in the fight Of to-day. The agi-
tation in some parts of the country
against this form Of amusement TO me
seems uncalled for. Abroad, boxing
contests are even featured as soc'ai
affairs. with full dress in order"
With seven or eight women guests
Mrs Richard will occupy box at the
bout tonight. She was present at 'ne
Jefries-Johnson match, and declares
that tonight, as then, she Will De

GRAVE CONCERN
FOR EXPLORER
Last Heard From in Janu-

iB5 cabl, 70 Tho Tribune }

London. March 24.-Somewhcrc on
the Antarctic Continent Sir Ernest
Shackleton is stranded. Unless aid
speedily reaches him and the men
who set forth with him on the jour
ney across the unknown polar land
the fate that met Commander Rober;
+. Scott and his comrades may over
take them. 1t may already have
oyertaken them.
The relief ship that sailed from
New Zealand TO bring back the eX-
plorer and his party has been driven
from the base in Ross Sea, where
it was TO have been met by Shackle-
ton. For months, injured by the ice
it has been adrift, hopelessly off its
course. Instead of trying 10 return
10 Ross Sea. where Captain Shacklc'
ton may now vainly be waiting, the
yesse! is seeking to return TO Ne"
Zealand for repairs before setting
forth again for the Antarctic.
Word TO this effect was received
in London tonight, relayed by wire
less from the Aurora.
The Aurora at the time the mes
sage was sent was in the far South
Pacific.
Message Delayed Months.
Apparently attempts had been
made for several months to send the
wireless. but it had only just been
received at the New Zealand station
which forwarded it 70 England. The
message was sent by a member OF
tho staff Of the Aurora, which went
from Australia to Ross Sea at the
end Of 1914. for tho purpose Of
bringing back Shacklctor's party
when they had crossed the South
Polar continent. It was not known
that the Aurora had wireless on
board. and the dispatch was dellv-
cred 10 an office of the expedition
which had been closed for some time.

The German wedge here forms a pro-

MERCHANT SHIPS BEING MANNED
 NAVY MEN

NEW YORK, Nov. 8. - British mer- chant ships entering and leaving the port of New York are being manned entirely by Englishmen who have al ready served in war and have been honorably discharged, according to the ship visiting report of the Ameri- can Seamens Fried Society. This re- port, which was made public today by Dr. George Sidney Webster. secretary. shows that in four months the ship visiting staff of the society was in personal touch with practically 12,O0O sailors attached to Sl different ships representing 12 steamship lines.
 Although a very large number of the sailors in port are English sub jects there are also a great many from other lands. These men. according to the report, are largely either desert CTS from military service or are avoid ing service by coming to this country Many of these men are Greeks, who contract for return voyage to British ports and desert their ship on this side without pay. This, according to pr. Webster is one reason for the noticeable shortage in the supply of seamen, which many ships have suf- fered from when preparing for the return trip,

r fIL|PINOS CET BENEFIT By
 THE WAR

MANILA, Nov 8. - The European war and the consequent closing of the European sources of production of em- broideries and laces has given tre- mendous impetus to this industry in the Philippines. Before the war it had already reached large proportions in Manila and the provinces, the pub lie schools were giving it their at tenti0n in an effort to train girls in the art Of producing fabrics which would meet commercial needs, and American commercial interests had established agencies here
 The war his increased this business to such an extent that it is seeming ly impossible to meet the demand. At present more than 2o,0o0 women in Manila alone are employed in shops and homes on fine embroidery and laces, and the monthly payroll is in excess of $100,000 a month.
