The following work establishes a new proof of the theorem: Every archimedean ordered group is abelian. This theorem has been proved differently by many authors. It was first proved by O. Hölder [2]. A second proof has been given by H. Cartan [1]: he uses the topology which is naturally introduced in the group by its order.
