FRANKIE BURNS MAY
 WIN BANTAM TITLE
Jersey City is Favored by PugiHstic Followers to Beat Pete Herman in New Orleans Tonight.

NeW OF1eAnS 1Ou1&Ats
 New Orleans, La., Nov. 5.-1t Is not improbable that there will be a new bantam champion after to- nights battle between Pete Herman. the title holder, and Frankie Burns of Jersey City, the challenger.
 The contest is scheduled for 20 rounds to a decision at 118 pounds ringside, which is the poundage at which Herman won the title from Williams, and will take place in the Louisiana Auditorium.
 Win or lose, Herman, who has been drafted, will at once join the colors. In accepting Burns challenge Her man gave an exhibition of courage. for he once was knocked out by Burns in twelve rounds. It is notable also that Williams carefully avoided Burns after a twenty round bout in which the decision was a draw, although the Jerseyman always insisted he was en- titled to the verdict.
 Burns scored his knockout over Herman at New Orleans on Novem. Der IS, 1915, at a time when Will Hams was the title holder. Herman was in helpless condition in the twelfth round and his seconds tossed in the sponge.

Taxing FILMS IN BELGIUM
Germans Take Pictures Showing SOL
diers Distributing Bread Among
Hungry PopuIace.

That seeing is not necessarily believ
ing. where a motion picture camera is
employed for purposes of influencing
public opinion, is shown by an article
in the Princeton Alumni, describing q
visit to Belgian village, occupied by
German troops. The correspondent
/ writes:
In the middle of the scene was a
| little line of ragged Belgian men, wom-
en- and children. They had been gath
cred from the nearby streets. They
seemed much frightened. Appeared a
dozen underofficers and privates car
rying loaves of bread. These they
thrust into the hands of the people in
the line, while in corner the clicking
camera recorded the touching scene, to
be shown in Germany and Austria and
in neutral countries throughout the
world, of "Kind-Hearted Prussians
Feeding the Belgian Populace."
That was what the camera showed.
But what it did not show were the
fields of Kansas and Manitoba, or the
ships of the American commission that
had brought the wheat that had been
converted into the flour from which
those loaves were made, or the Amer
lean dollar sign indicating who had
paid for the loaves, or even the Bel
gian agents to whom the distribution
was the morning and evening work.
That day these agents had been thrust !
aside and their bread taken from
them. "On this OCCASION" they were |
told, "our soldiers will perform your
task. You can leave the loaves and |
90 home" l thought 1 had a story to
tell. | was disappointed when my de-
scription fell rather fiat. "We have
heard all about it before" men in
formed me. "That comedy is being
staged from time to time all over Bel
GUM. We don't mind their taking pic
lures, but we wish they would leave
our bread alone"
