Advocating and propagating the

The End of the First International.
Sickened by the petty attacks OF
the factions and by the evident
hopelesSness of a further growth of
the international under prevailing
conditions, Serge resigned his post
as secretary. A letter written by
Engels on this occasion to Serge,
on September u, 1874, contained
the following epitaph for the First
International:
with your resignation there is
an end to the Old International.
And that is well. 1t belonged in

pressure upon the. just reviving Ia
Dor movement throughout Europe
demanded unity and avoidance of
all internal polemics. 1t was the
time when the common cosmopoli-
tan interests of the Sproletariat
could push themselves into the fore
ground; Germany, Spain, Italy,
Denmark, just had entered the
movement or were then entering it.
The theoretical character of the
movement throughout Europe, that
is with the masses, was in 1854
really very Jmclear. German Com
munism did not yet exist as a party
of labor; Proudhonism was too weak
as yet to ride its hobby, Bakmin's
newest invention did not yet exist
even not in the head of Bakunin;
even the chiefs of the English trade
union movement believed justified
by the ideas expressed in the sta
tutes to enter the movement. The
first success had to break up this
naive unity of all fractions. This
success came with the Commune,
which unquestionably was the in
tellectual child of the International
for which it was rightfully held re-
sponsible. When, because of the
Commune, the International be-
came a moral power in Europe, the
trouble started. Each group wanted
to exploit the successes for itself.
The unavoidable disintegration came.
The increasing influence of those
who were really ready to continue
work on the base of the old cornpre-
hensive program, drove the Belgian
Proudhonists into the arms OF the
Bakuninist Adventures. With the

the Second International, resolutely
Topped off the latter's opportunism,
ial-chauvinism, and bourgeois

to realize the dictatorship of the
proletariat. In this manner the
Communist International continues
the glorious and heroic traditions

the French insmrectionists of 1881 +;
of the French and German working
class revolutionaries of 1848; of the
immortal warriors and martyrs of
the Paris Commune; of the valiant
soldiers of the German, Hungarian
and Finnish revolutions; of the
workers under the former Tsarist
despotism-the victorious bearers OF
the proletarian dictatorship; of the
Chinese proletarians-the heroes of
Canton and Shanghai.

With the removal of the General
Council of the International from
London to New York, F. A. Serge
became the main secretary and

the one side and Serge ON the other
shows that neither Marx nor En-
gels even for q moment abandoned
their theological leadership of the
International. This correspondence
is rich in advice and guidance to
their American followers. These adj
vices must be needed even to this
day by the Communist Party. The
development of the American probe
tariat as a class was the ever re-

At the close of the old year, and
looking forward to 1888, DR.. R. H.

ment of Health, reminds Marylanders
that this is inventory time and that
it is quite as important to stake

liabilities as it is of ones financial re-

ave would not think of running our
automobile" DIR. Riley said, without
having them thoroughly gone over,
every now and then. But we neglect
to have this very important thing done
to the wonderful human mechanism
we carry around with us in our bodies.
We can buy spare parts for our auto
mobiles engines, batteries, wires, all
the rest of the paraphernalia that goes
into the making of serviceable car.
When the heart, the kidneys, the ner-
vous system, or other parts of the
human machine show signs of wear
and tear, we can't replace them with
new ones. But we can find out how to
take care of our human mechanism,
so that we can conserve and prolong
its usefulness.
"One of the best ways to do this is
for each person to go to his or her
doctor, at regular intervals, for a
thorough medical inspection of the
human machine. If weak spot has
developed in some part of the system,
very often the doctor can advise as to
ways by which the encroaching weak
ness or disease can be checked.
What somebody has called the
principal life shorteners' are what are
also known as the degenerative
diseases of middle age Diseases of
the heart, the kidneys, cerebral hem
orrhage, cancer and diabetes are il

another class, but it is life shorten.

have slow beginnings, long befcr
their effects are noticed. By having
an early diagnosis and by following
the doctors advice, great deal can
be accomplishment only for the con-
ditons referred to, but for many OH
ers-both in prolonging life, and il.
prolonging it for healthy usefulness
"The boys and girls who are grow
ing up today are getting accustomed
to these periodical examinations
through the regular inspections they
have in school. And every young
mother knows that the best way to
keep her baby and her other young
children well is by having them under
regular supervision.
