IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wlrel

TOURS. France. Dec. 2S.-Clara Zet- Kin member of the German reichstag and of the executive committee of the Third Internationale whose passport, 1t is alleged, the French refused to wise. came suddenly into the hall where the French Socialist congress was in progress today and the session became bedlam. M. F'rossard. secretary of the French Socialist party. who was speak ing, was interrupted and the delegates escorted the woman to the platform.
 Clara ZetlSin is a white haired wom- an of 60. She was attired in a simple brown dress and was cheered wildly.
 'The French have forbidden men to come" she said to the delegates, but like a good communist I came any way"
 The doors of the hall were locked and the telephone and telegraph wires in the hall disconnected. and no one was allowed to leave the building. She then continued her speech, denouncing "the Scheidemanns, Noskes and Reynaudels of all nations She also denounced the moderates and all those seeking to form an internationale in opposition to Moscow.
 Split your party to achieve more precious unity Madame Zetkin ad- vised the congress. T urge you to split from your party all social patriots and all vacillating Centrists and form a single revolutionary force capable of discipline. vigorous action and the emancipation of the proletariat.
 "The barbarians who destroyed the ancient cathedral at Rheims belong to the same class, kin and family as those who destroyed the ancient cathedral al Kiev." she cried referring to the Polish warfare against Moscow, which was carried on with allied aid
 Madame Zetkin arrived late in the afternoon and spoke for half an hour She then left with a small escort oi friends. No one else was allowed tC leave for 20 minutes to enable her tc depart secretly as she had come.
 Her visit was unexpected. It is be- lieved she came by motor and it Is sup posed that after leaving the hall she proceeded to the German frontier.
 M. Frossard. who was eclipsed by the Moscow emissary, followed the argu- ments of the other Communist leaders One passage that seemed to meet the approval of all wings was:
 Not all revolutions are won at the point of the musket and over barri- cades. Barricades in the past have i'm peded revolutions as much as they have aided them. We cannot get a revolution at the point Of revolver un- less circumstances are ripe. and it i' not we, but the capitalists, who mak' the circumstances through the rotten ness of their system"
 M. Frossard said that the Commun ists would continue to participate il the elections, following Lenine's advice but would use parliament as a rostrun to proclaim it's futility
