PREMIER LENINE
OF RUSSIA DIES
Nicolai Lenine, premier of Soviet
Russia, is d£ad.
The end came at 5:30 o’clock
.Monday afternoon but the death
was not announced [for some time
• afterward.
Leniue’s death occurred at his
country villa near Moscow, where
he had been living in retirement.
It came after a sudden turn for
the worse, culminating iu a stroke
which paralyzed his respiratoary
organism.
Announcement of his d:-ath was
made by the all-Russian Soviet
this morning.
News of his death, while not
unexpected to those who had been
closest to him in the Soviet coun
cils, came unexpectedly at this
time to a great majority, as the
most recent reports have been that
he was considerably improved in
health. While there has been con
tinous anxiety for his condition
since ho was striken in June, 1922
public attention has lately been
more directed to the difficulties
among the Communist party lead
er’s, and particulaily to the status
of f.eou Trot/.ky, who,, it was re
cently announced, was in poor
health and has gone away for a
rest.
The] death of Premier Lenine

ir

of the Communist party and Sec¬
retary Hughes’ recent rejection of
Foreign Minister Tcbitcherin’s pro
posals for resumption of trade re¬
lations with the United States, it
appears probable that removal of
his influence will futher
the chaotic state of affairs.
