when Rosa Luxembourg was brought
through the main entrance of the
Eden, Hotel, the same Runge stood at
the door. Captain Petri had given
orders that care should be taken that
Rosa Luxembourg should net come into
prison alive. When Rosa Luxembourg
came to the door, Runge struck her
the ground. Upper-Lieutenant Vogel
who was in charge of the transport
did nothing to prevent this. Rosa
Luxembourg was pushed into the
wagon. AS the wagon drove away
man sprang from behind and struck
her on the head with hard instru-
ment. On the way Lieutenant Vogel
shot Rosa Luxembourg through the
head. The wagon drove between the
Landswehr Canal and the Geological
Gardens. BY the Landwehr Canal
there stood group of soldiers. The
motor stopped, the soldiers, on the
order of Vogel, threw the corpse into
the canal. The perpetrators of the
murder had themselves photographed
on the following day while engaged
in a carouse."
Search was made for a long time
for the corpse of Rosa Luxembourg,
until at last, on the 31st of May, that
is four and half months after her
murder, Rosa's corpse was found in
the Landwehr Canal near the Zoologi-
cal Garden. She was buried on the
18th of June in the cemetery in Freid-
Sichsfelde, at the same spot where,
on the 25th Of January, Karl Lieb-
knecht was buried along with 80

the newspaper reports of the foul

In the book written by E. /. Gum

the murder of our two comrades is
described as follows, based on evil
dence adduced at court proceedings:
'Karl Liebknecht was conveyed
from the hotel in a motor car. The
hunter Runge struck him twice on the
head from behind. Karl Liebknecht
sank down in a semi-conscious con-
dition. The officers stood round Lieb-
knecht without preventing the blows.
Instead of proceeding to the Moabit
prison, the car drove along the New
Lake in the direction of Charlotten-
burg Chaussee. At one spot where a
completely unlighted footpath branch
ed off, something was alleged to go
wrong with the car. Liebknecht, who
had not yet come to himself, as a
result of the blows on his head, was
asked whether he was able to walk.
Two people supported him on the
right and the left, two went before
and two behind him. All were armed
with loaded pistols and hand gren-
AIDES. After proceeding few steps
Liebknecht was shot because, it is
alleged, he made an attempt to es-

CHARGE DOCTORS
OVERLOOK CASES
OF HURT WORKERS
Injured Workers Fail to
Get Care

CHICAGO, Feb. 2,-The American
College of Surgeons is making a be-
lated attempt to better the surgical
treatment of injured workers. For 20
years the best surgeons have steered
clear of this field.
Men and women suffering from
loss of fingers, hands, arms, eyes,
feet, legs or terrible head and body
injuries, due to the inhuman speedup
of modern industry, may have their
own blunt opinion of the Sawbones
called to attend them. But the Amer
lean College, which is sort of union
of 1000 surgeons in the United States
and Canada, goes the workers one
better. In black and white the sur
geons bawl out their fellow practi-
TONERS for greed, inexperience and
refusal to surrender cases to better
qualified men.
The college sent out a QUESTIONABLE
to various cities and asked expert
enced and informed surgeons to an
swer in detail. The result was a
damning indictment of the treatment
accorded to injured workers.
The surgeons quote statistics show
ing that 5000 men, women and chill
dren are injured in industry in the
United States every working day or
between 100000 and 100000 a
year. There are about 10000 deaths
yearly sor about 1 death every 8 min
utes per 8-hour day from industrial
accidents, they further state.
Workers injured in industry have
been neglected by the best surgeons
and the best surgical teachers have
failed to interest themselves in the
matter, the college declares. To rem
edy this shocking situation in the pro-
fession the college undertook it's in
vestigation.

Wilhelm PECK Eye Witness Tells Seizure of Ieeht and Luxembourg
Russian Theatre Shows
Amazing Vitality and
Genius, Says Simonson

"The extraordinary, amazing VI
tally of the Russian Theatre is I'M
eeualed in any other country in the
world" declared Lee Simonson, direc-
tor of the Theatre Guild, before a
meeting at the Russian Exposition, at
119 West 57th Street.
Simonson told of the remarkable
talent of almost every actor he saw
in the Soviet Union, stressing their
inventiveness and creative genius.
Contrast the Russian theatres with
any first class theatre in the world,
and for spiritual driving power that
lifts the human imagination and hui
man soul, it tops them all.
Everybody has a passion for the
theatre and opera there-even in the
remotest corners of Russia. This
craving for the theatre as means
to interpret life is the source of the
vitality and life in the Soviet the
atres," he stated.
Simonson told of the work of the
"Blue Blouses," group of young
workers who travel from place to
place, presenting satirical sketches,
largely political in character, before
workers groups everywhere.
"rhey do not stay at home in their
own back parlors and wait for people
to come to see them, but they take
their plays, charades, their symbols
and ideas to working mems clubs,
and play in their midst. While Rus
SLAMS love the sad and morbid, they
can play farce with the best of us.
Their Glowing is gay, spontaneous
these youngsters can act!"
Simonson declared that the Bolshe-
vik Revolution was the first revolu-
ton to utilize the theatre to express
its ideals and point of view.
"They have studiously and carefully
preserved the best of the past. Just
as Lunacharsky unveiled frescoes of
rare beauty in the Kremlin that were
ignored by the church, so the Revolu-
ton preserves and cherishes the con-
tribution of past writers, dramatists
and producers and keeps tn m
splendidly alive"
beg, borrow or steal to get there
but go and see it," was Lee Simon
sons parting admonition to his au-
dience.
