Eduard Bernstein
In 1901, "Vorwäerts" lost its London correspondent, Eduard Bernstein, who returned home to Germany and Beer was tapped by the paper as his replacement. He remained in that position until 1911. Beer left his place at the "Vorwäerts" to pursue more scholastic writing. He signed a contract to produce a history of British socialism in the German language, a book which was published in 1913.
