The Pelham Journal VOL. 21 NO. 41 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 leaves domestic pditical aftairs and foreign relations of Russia 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. —because, when they used to wear armor, they thought it safe to remove the helmet when talking with a friend This action, a compliment, passed in¬ to our custom of raising the hat.
