am an old fool. I laugh and /
cry"
So ended the operate career Of An
tonic Scott.
Flowers? They bloomed everywhere
about his dressing room late yesterday
as. with the singing of Chim-Fen, in
"L'Oracolo," he said adieu to his pub
lic-a public of 80 Metropolitan Opera
seasons
Kisses? They rained upon his cheeks
still yellow with the grease Of his hatch
et-man role. May I kiss you?" cried
the women. some young, many old.
Dear Scotti!" they murmured. crush
ing forward. Sweet Scott! May you
live forever!"
Scotti laughed and cried. 1t Is not
easy to have so many friends.
There was Geraldine FarrAr. They
embraced happily. for they were pals
Scotti, Farrar and Caruso-they had
been three great friends.
Greeted by Marcella Sembrich.
There was Marcella ssembrich, she
who had sung with Scott: that long
ago night of 1899. =hheu Scott made
his debut at ths Metropolitan In Don
Giovanni" Sne came in or the arm
of Morris Gest. She kissed him on the
cheek, her arms about his shoulders.
"Ah. Scott. you are an artist always,
she said. You couldn't have been
better than today. anytime"
Great tribute from Q star to . star.
Scott answered:
Dear lady. I've never sung as well
since you left"
Through the throngs came q younger
man. Scotti saw him, and through
he smiled happily and shouted:
"Ah, Larry, you OIL son Of gum"
And Lawrence Tbbett, now at the
zenith of his own operatic career, re-
piled:
You old son Of gun. started my
career, with you. You mustn't 60 away
You can't"
Tibbett Sings From Box.
Not long before. as the final curtain
had fallen on 'L'Oracolo" and as the
crowd was holding Scotti for 80 minutes
of curtain calls, Lawrence Tibbett, sit
ting in a box, had risen and In the
deep baritone which only the night be-
fore had sung the role Of Emperor
Jones" from the same stage. he sang:
For He's a jolly Good Fellow"
And soon many other voices In the
audience Joined with that OF T1bbetts 9
in singing:
For He's . jolly Good Fellow"
The famous theater was so packed
with people that during the per-
Torrance of "LOracolo" the doors to
the auditorium could not be closed
Genius and wealth and music apprecta-
ton were represented.
Spirit Of Caruso Present.
Present, too, was the spirit Of Scot
tbs dearest friend, Enrico Caruso, and
the memories of Nellie Melba. Lillian
Nordica. Edouard De Reszke and that
other notable company Of golden voiced
men and women who had sung with
Scotti there.
Finally Scott, his makeup removed
was ready to leave his dressing room
leave It forever. It had been . day OF
such happiness as comes only to him
who has done well his life's work.
For 80 years I have dressed here,
he said. "Thirty-three years. Sad!
Yes. Like q last kiss. like . hrst

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Withdrawal of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution from the Women's
Patriotic Conference on National De-
fense, to be held here January 80, has
thrown into q turmoil Of talk the
whole forefront Of women's peace
and defense" causes.
It brought into sharp clash with the
Daughters their former co-workers, the
American Legion Auxiliary. It started
a buzz about inner d. A. r. workings
It won applause from yesterdays clos
ing session on the cause and cure Of
war conference.
On motion of Mrs. William Louise
Dunno. historian general and publicity
chairman, the Daughters voted last Oc-
from the conference, in which hitherto
they had been the leaders.
Economy Declared Cause.
Economy was the reason given In
the resolution. Mrs. William Russell
Magma, the president. said she had re-
saying that, with their own Congress
to attend here in April, they could not
afford to come to Washington IN Janu-
ary to talk National defense, q policy
20 which the Daughters are definitely
committed anyhow.
Mrs. S. Afford Blackburn. president
Of the American Legion Auxiliary, call
ed Mrs. Magna's action double cross
and that her group would hold the con-
ference whether or not.
In this stand, Mrs. Blackburn wa
backed by two past presidents genera
of the D. A. r., who have been aggres-
sive in the national defense cause. Mrs
Grace Brosseau and Mrs Lowell Fetch
er Hobart.
Mrs. Brosseau, who headed the D. A
r. at the time Of the blacklist" flare
has accepted the chAfrmAnship Of the
defense groups Resolution Committee
and Mrs. Hobart VIII head its Banquet
Committee.
Declared Further Step.
This open split between Mrs. Magma
and her predecessors is regarded by
those who are acquainted with the D
A. r. as q further step in the course
upon which Mrs Magma firmly set hel
feet when she failed to reappoint mill
tary-minded Mrs. William Sherman
Walker as national defense chairman
Mrs. Magna's supporters applaud hel
for returning to the original educa-
tional and historical objectives." They
say the D. A. R., with its ICE. 900 mem
bers, is strong enough to speak fol
itself" and not be guided" by super
organizations" and besides. its con.
stitution forbids "afhliations." Somt
frankly feared injection Of the bonu!
issue" into the coming conference.
The Ohio Legion News said the rea.
son the D. A. r. was withdrawing wa.
that it was the American Legion Aux.
iiary's turn to preside, and the D. A
r. "disliked to see another organization
presiding in their building"
The conference this year will meet
at the Maynower Hotel. Prediction.
are freely made that the auxiliary viii
arrive here in no friendly mood to Mrs
Magma, and that repercussions Of the
whole situation will be among the "po.
litical undercurrents" Of the April Con.

The Party did not only connne 1T

the workers of Germany in spite OF
the urgent advice of q nunber of
his comrades that he should leave
Germany in time. The proletariat
Of Germany will not forget that there
was not one single case of mass re-
sistanee to the fascists by the work
ers in which Communists were not
in the forefront of the battle, that
there was not single encounter
with the fascists in the street, in the
workshops, during the defense of
workers premises OF the Trade
Unions, etc, in which Communists
did not make inyiolable sacrifices in
the cause of the working class.
The wave of terror and the mass
arrests dealt the CPG severe blows
But the arrests of thousands of Com
munists cannot kill the Party, to
-hicf some five millions belong. In
acting as requirements for the Com
munists who have been arrested, the
politically developed and culturally-
progressive workers of Germany are
developing and will continue TO deve-
lop ever new forces. The Party has
already been able to overcome the
severe consequences caused by the
fascist terror. The CPG., which had
accustomed itself in the course of q
number OF years to working under
legal and semli-lsgal conditions, is
reorganizing itself In relation to the
new conditions of extreme illegality.
The central organ of the Party, die
Rote Fahne", appears illegally, hun
