of one of several bandits who,were
holding Guido Franchesini, the
role played by Iibbett. In the en-
suing struggle, Guido produces Il
Stiletto and pretends to stab an
other player.
The right hand of Sterzini got
in the way of the dagger, Tib-
bett explained. The point of the
dagger clipped the flesh between
the finger and thumb
Tibbett stopped singing. He took
Sterzini's hand, examined it ana
advised him to leave the stage.
But Sterzini said: "Oh, let's finish
the scene
Tibbett insisted and dragged his
friend from the stage.

zini, a member of the opera COM
pany for 80 years, changed to
street clothes and later went to a
private hospital He died while
Tibbett was; en- route to Newark.

LONDON, Dec. % U.N.SJ.-The

International News Service has
learned the British propaganda
departments, especially the for
eign office, have been instructed
to emphasize the need" for
Anglo-American cooperation in
the Orient at every opportunity.
In accordance with this policy,
London morning newspapers seized
upon an editorial in a New York
morning newspaper calling for
parallel action" and commented
on it at considerable length.
Editorials - obviously officially
inspired-in the Times of London,
the London News Chronicle, the
Manchester Guardian and other
British newspapers hailed the
New York editorial as the turn
ing point in the American atti-
tude."
Predicting the present situation
marks the beginning of closer
Cooperation" the
Guardian forecast President RooSe-
velt now will take advantage of
the American emotional reaction
to pictures showing the sinking OF
the American gunboat Panay by
Japanese planes to bolster senti-
ment for this parallel action.
The newspaper said that, by this
means, the American Chief Esxecu-
tive will arouse support not only
for protection of American in
terests, but for the cause Of hu-
