Herr Otto Bauer Paris, July 4.
Herr Otto Bauer, former Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in Austria, and leader of the Austrian Socialist Party, died here this morning.—Havas, Many of our anti-aircraft devices owe their efficiency to Prof. R. H. Fowler, the new director of the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington. His conspicuous gift for applying his mathematical knowledge to mechanical problems first brought him to the front during the war years. Since the war he has been engaged in the practical application of the many remarkable discoveries made under Lord Rutherford in the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge. In 1921 he married Lord Rutherford's only daughter. Two years ago he was awarded the coveted medal of the Royal Society for his work on statistical mechanics.
