The Death of
 Dr William Baer Was Engaged in Writing Book When Career
 Ended

Among the local doctors who were deeply grieved at the sudden death of Dr. William Baer. the noted orthopaedic surgeon of Johns Hop- kins hospital. Baltimore, Md, is pr. John !. Egan, who spent several months at his clinic at Johns Hop kins last year.
 It is the consensus among leading orthopaedic surgeons that pr. Baer's recent contribution to the science of medicine, (the mag got treatment for osteomyelitis) would revoiutionize the treatment of bone infection.
 Dr. Baer informed Dr. Egan that he was writing resume of his re- suits obtained, and hoped to publish 1t during the present year.
 It is most regrettable that Dr. Baer's scientific achievements. es- pecially in behalf of the crippled children, were so abruptly ended.

Victory, therefore, must be ours England

The Place for Kautsky

Kautsky, the doddering old irrbecile leader Of
the second socialist" international now in con-
gress at Vienna (where we hope the American
delegation headed by Hillquit is stranded per-
r1anently by the bank closings) recently wrote
an anti-Soviet book called "Bolshevism in Blind
Alley"
1t was so completely stupid that, although 1t
was viciously against the Soviet Union, even
the most counter-revolutionary of European $50
cialists"-.the Russian Mensheviks, Dan and
Abrafnovich, had~to disown the thing.
1t is interesting, and certainly a commentary
on the American socialist" party, that it is
spreading this rubbish of Kautsky far and wide
while with tongue in cheek it is pretending to
differ" with Eilquit because his counter-revo~
lutionary policy has become too visible with his
lawsuits for old Russian capitalists who claim
that the Revolution stole their" oil fields
But Hllquit isn't the only one in the U. S. A.
whom the socialist party has to cover up While
the Socialists pretend to be supporting the
striking miners; the socialist" mayor of Reading,
Pa, is ordering striking miners arrested who
are gathering strike relief by speaking on the
streets
But to get back to Kautsky, one of the old
skinfint's wise cracks is the claim that Lenin
was good boz til 1917, then he went dippy and
Kautsky adds;
eff Lenin is right then my whole life's work
has been in vain"
The workers of the Soviet Union are every
day proving that Lenin was right and that Kaut-
sky's counter revolutionary work is, indeed, in
vain But there is one think he yet can do,
since he says: My imagination cannot think
of anything which can possibly be more fright
full than the condition of Russia today"
He might look around him in his native Ger
many at the conditions there And he might
write another book boosting the newly formed
"royaHst- socialist" party in Germany, although
in truth there are more efficient bootlickers to
royalty in his own socialist" party than in this
new outfit.

rejection Of their claims for war pensions and
compensation, and when the cops got nasty, cried
out Take parliament by storm" and battled for
twenty minutes, retreating only to smash win

Some day, when our Party stops merely talking
about organizing American ex-servicemen, and
really puts some Communist push behind the

the Tombstone Bonus, there will be just as full

A question
BY JORGE

conlrade Of Minnesota writes in, comment
ing upon letter published in q Minneapolis
paper from worker at Ellsworth, MINI, sug-
costing that Communist leaders in towns where
such letters are published should communicates
with writer's Of such letters when the Party has
no contacts in these little towns. They should
watch the Readers Opinion" columns for such
contacts he suggests.
That is not bad idea Also many workers
are doing good work by contributing to these
readers opinion" columns, which some capi-
alist papers run, contradicting editorial lies
commenting upon workers conditions particu-
larly those of the locality, and thus reaching
the many readers of the capitalist press with
q revolutionary message.
Such messages are not always published, it is
true; but certain percentage are. especially
If brief. and while they are no substitute for
our own Communist press, still they are one
means which may be used to help the workers
find the correct path There are too few such
letters written and revolutionary workers should
take pen in hand and do it without expecting
instruction" in this simple matter
