HAD BEEN UNWELL FOR SOME TIME But Generally It Was Not Known That the End Was Near—-Was Power in the Soviet Regime. Moscow, .Tnn. 22 (By tfio Associated Pre,<s).—Nicolai Lenine, premier of so viet Russia, is dead. The end came at 5:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, but the death was not announced for some time afterward. Lenine's death occurred at the country home near Moscow, where ho had boeu . living in retirement. It came after a sudden turn for the worse, culminating in a stroke which paralyzed the breathing organism. * Announcement of his death was matle by the All-Russian soviet this morning. News of his death, while not unexpect ed to those who had been closest to him in the soviet council, came unexpectedly at this time to a great majority as most recent reports had been that be was con siderably improved in health. While there has been continuous anxiety for his condition since stricken in dune, 11)22 public attention lately has been more di , rected to differences among the commun ist party leaders, and particularly to the staus of I .eon Trotzky, who, it was re cently announced, was in poor health and had gone away for rest. Little had been said publicly in soviet official quarters lately of Ixmiac's con dition, bill that seemed to-be of a hope ful nature, and it was not long ago that some of the associates of his active days were predicting that he would soon be able to advise with the council of minis ters. Representatives of foreign diplomatic missions and others with whom the cor respondent talked after the announce ment, agreed in expressing the opinion that Lenine's death would probably pro due*: no general disquiet A*<4l«iMsi4,ohiU nevertheless, woliM have - av important po lities effeetr though not t actively participating the government; he was at least its titular bead, and his death not opens that posi tion to other leaders. Vpon the death of the premier the high soviet officials were immediately in formed, but the public remained iu ig norance Os the sad news until prepara tions had been completed for their no tification through ah Official bulletin. While the great moss of the people bad long felt that sooner or later Leuine would suffer a stroke which would re sult fatally, nevertheless the news that death had actually come had the effeect of a dull blow. The fleeting hope that Lenine might some day come back had een enhanced by the official announcement of his im provement only a fortnight ago. As the all-Russian soviet gathered in regular session in the great Moscow theatre this morning only a few knew of the death. * Nikolai Lenine, lawyer, pamphletter. and finally dictator of Russia, was the organizer and chief exponent of the move ment which became kntfivn as Bolshe vism, and which he characterized as “the great experiment; the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.’' The career of this short, plump, bald headed little man, who turned Russia top sy turvy and probably aR much influ enced the other nations of the world as any other man of his century, was full of adventure from his boyhood. He was a revolutionist at school, at the academy, at his university, and ever afterward. Lenine’s real name was Vladimir ll litcb Clianoff. He was born April 24, 3870 in the town of Simbirsk, of a bour geois family with a pronounced Tartar strain, reflected in Lenine's high cheek bones and slightly slanting, cynical eyes. His father was responsible mas ter at a communal school at Simbirsk and ( was very well known among the school teachers of his district. Lenine himself attended the high school at Simbirsk, and by a strange coincidence his princi pal was the father of Alexander Keren sky, whom Lenine afterward overthrew to become premier of Russia. The spirit of revolution against the Czar entered into practically every Rus sian school in those days, and. Lenine,. with some of bis companions, is said to have smuggled the works of Karl Marx 1 on socialism into the school and to have read them with all the secret fear of dis covery that American sclmolboys have of being caught with a dime novel hidden behind their geographies. M. Kerensky reported that Lenine was a very studious pupil, introspective in his thoughts and sky in his relations with his school mates.

When tlie Czar was overthrown early in 1917, Leuine. with a group of hiH supporters, returned to Russia. They went from Switzerland, through Ger many. . At the time it was charged, and generally believed in all Allied countries that Lenine was an agent of the Ger man government, whom the German gen eral staff aided with funds and advice to" disrupt the Russian army, and break, Russia from Ul9 Entente. The Germans gave the party of 40 Russians free con duct through their country in a train under guard, in order to keep them from spreading revolutionary propaganda among the soldiers at the stations where they stopped. But if the Germans hop ed for disintegration of the Russian Ar my, Leuine anil his supporters contend that this plan was a boomerang. From the very moment the Bolsheviki were in power in Petrograil. they set about to spread communism in the Gorman army. When Lenine arrived in Russia he made his first appearance at the All-Rus sian Congress of Soviets, urging tlie workers to seize the power and to ilo away with the Kerensky government. I Not having found an ear, the Bolshevik ! faction, under 1 amine's leadership, at tempted in .Tilly. 1917, a coup d’etat, which was suppressed by the Petrograil soviet and the Kerensky government. j From July 1917. until Lenine return- 1 ed suddenly to Petrograd to become al- j most overnight the Dictator of Russia, , lie was in hiding. Seereted in a straw stack on an island in the Neva, not far i from Kroustamlt, lie remains for days Peasant friends brought him rood *afid newspapers, and carried messages from ] film to I jeon Trotzky, later second in command of the Proletarian Dictatorship, . who was then practically in control of' tlie Petrograd Soviet. The search soon became too liot for him | on the island, and one night, after hav- i mg shaved off his beard, and being equip- I ped with a false passport describing aim as a Finn, lie made his way back to one of the suburbs of Petrograd. A friend- ■ ly locomotive engineer agreed to stnuggle Leuine over the heavily guarded Finnish frontier in his engine. Lenine boarded the.locomotive wearing the grimy clothes of a fireman and stoked the engine until ■ it, bad successfully passed through the | control station at the froutier. Internally, Russian life was turned j upside down. Factories were taken by I the workers. Great estates were confis cated by the peasants, who divided them among themselves. The aristocracy sought any kind of safety it could find, and tbe middle-class or bourgeoise. be came special objects for the hatred of the masses. Free trade was abolished and in its stead was established a sys- ; tem of government control that rationed food, placing the workingmen in prefer- j red classes, and doling out little or j none to the others. The use of money ' was condemned, and grain, manufactured ! products and labor became tbe chief me-1 din of exchange. In the spring oP 1922 Lenine's health : began to crack under the strain. He be came a victim of insomnia, and later on developed serious nervous and gastric dis orders. Always impatieat of restraint, he would not obey the commands of his Russian physicians or tbe advice of I is friends, and continued to work. In the autumn of 1922 he suffered a serious at tack, and for a long tipie his life v.as despaired of. A number of times he was I reported dying, but under pressure from his associates he at. last consented to take a rest in the country, nn l early in the year, 1923 he appeareJ to be considerably improved.' However, from September 1922 onward, Lgnine'-t position iu tlie Russian government was more that of a valued counsellor than that of a premier. He continued to propose policies, but seldom appeared at meetings of the Oouiiclf of Commissars. 1 Physically Leniue was short, rather plump, with a thick short neck, broad shoulders, round, red • face; high fore head, broad head, nose slightly upturned brownish mustache and a short, stubby beard. He hus been' described us look ing more like a country grocer ikan a leader of meii. Dr. A. C. Miller, dentist, has located in room No, 8 of the Maness building.
