London, Sept. 2.-Nikolai Lenine,
the Bolshevik Premier. who was shot
twice by an assassin last Friday
night, at Moscow. has died of his
wounds, according to a telegram from
Petrograd received by the Exchange
Telegraph Company by way of Copen-
hagen.
The attempted execution of Lenine's
Socialistic formulas was a godsend I
the German militarists. Whether the
ideal of revolutionary Russia. crystal
lized by Lenine, spreads and helps in
the characterization of Germany in
the long run, remains to be seen.
Lenine became revolutionist while
a mere SChoolboy. He was hunted by
the Cars secret police and outwitted
them time and again. His record as
a revolutionist is absolutely consist
ent. He tried to work out out the
ories. the adoption or which he urged
twenty five years ago.
Even his political enemies admit
ted that as a leader of men Lenine
was without equal in Russia.
Lenine entered Russia shortly after
the revolution with all the clothes he
owned, except those he wore. in one
small handbag. In seven months he
was President of Russia.
August completed his eighth
month in office and If his position
was precarious, it was not due to any
armed pressure from internal Russia.
or to the great mass of Russian peo-
pie. but to the Czecho- o-Slovaks. who
come from Bohemia. Il country in the
far west of Austria
Persuades Army of 15,OOO,OOO
When Kerensky fell there were To-
100000 armed Russian soldiers in the
field. Lenine must have talked a Ian
guage those men liked to hear and
could understand. IT is inconceivable
to believe that Lenine, with a few
Bolsheviki followers. could have gone
to Petrograd. accomplished the over
throw of Kerensky's Provisional gov
ernment and disarmed or otherwise
rendered impotent those 100000
soldiers.
Lenine had wonderful qualities of
leadership. He told that army of
Russians what to do and the army did
it. What Lenine really did was TO
tell the army how to do just exactly
what the army wanted done.
Lenine hardly ever appeared twice
the same. In the old days when he
was lodging the Cars secret police
he wore a beard. sometimes only a
moustache and again would be clean
shaven. 1t is said he never parted
his hair twice in the same way. He
invariably wore dark clothes. which
were usually much the worse for
wear
Lenine, riding on waves of triumph
or in what seemed to be certain de-
feat. never appeared to be excited.
His face was mask that displayed
no emotion.
He was calm. cold, thinking ma
chine, to which was added a tremend-
ously powerful personality. He was
man of simple habits. He neither
smoked tobacco nor drank alcohol
He was a tireless worker and heart
less slavedriver when it came to get
ting work out of other people.

SHIFTLESS SHIP
BUILDERS ARE
WAR SLACKERS
Former President Roosevelt
LikenS Them to Cowards
on the Battle Front

Ncwburgh, n. Y, Sept. 2.-Slack-
individually and unions of shipbuild-
ers which limit the output of ships
were denounced by Theodore Roose-
Welt to-day as traitors to the country.
Colonel Roosevelt delivered an ad-
dress on the occasion of the launch
ing from the Newburgh shipyards of
the first ten vessels. each of 5000
tons dead weight, which are to be
built here for the United States ship
ping board.
Colonel Roosevelt expressly ex-
empted the employees of the local
yard from his denunciation by say
ing that he understood that a warm
spirit of helpfulness and cooperation
had been developed here. Emphasiz-
ing the patriotic service rendered by
shipbuilders, the Colonel said.
"A Stacker in our shipyards is as
shameful creature as a coward in
the army in France. and a good
worker in the shipyards stands hon.
orably forward like a good soldier
in the army. l have come here to
Newburgh largely because my in
quiries have convinced me that here
there has been no organized limita-
ton of output and practically no
loafing. | am convinced that, gener-
ally speaking, there is fine spirit of
patriotism in shipbuilding labor in
all parts of the country.
Traitors to Country
Yet 1t has been alleged 70 me that
in certain yards men have loafed in
dividually and that in certain yards
unions have actually limited the out
put so as to limit the number of
rivets driven in day, or to limit the
number of days that they work, or
in other ways to prevent The develop
ment of our full strength and our
utmost speed. Such men are traitors
TO the country.
IF | had my way | would take
any such man and any men who aid
ed or abetted him, put him in the
army at once and send him across
the water to do the hardest work in
the most dangerous position; and Il
would not give him a rifle until he
had learned the spirit of patriotism.
Any man who lays off now or scamps
his job is a traitor to his fellow
Americans in France, a traitor to the
men who need all the help we can
give them. On the other hand you,
whom l am convinced represent the
enormous majority of the shipyard
workers, who are doing your u
most night and day, week in and
week out, stand on the honor roll IF

to our troops in France, and ] honor

Germans Indifferent to
Defeat; Want Peace

Amsterdam, Sept. 2.-The Ger
mans have been seized with a sort
of peace mania, according to the
frontier correspondent of De reie-

made such a profound impression
that the Germans one meets alons

prospect of the defeat of the Central
Empires, and only wish to get peace
as quickly as possible.
The correspondent declares that
two German regiments in Russia re-
fused to go to the western front and
that 130 of the soldiers were shot
Seven hundred of the bodyguards
at Munich refused to so TO the front
and barricaded themselves in the
barracks until they were compelled

gine was damaged. One of his ma
chine guns became tammed, and he
seemed to be out of the action. But
instead of starting home. he remain
ed to offer assistance to two other
airplanes which had been attacked
by twelve German machines.
His machine had lost altitude,
owing to engine trouble, but, when
he was attacked by a German, he
opened such a hot fire that the
enemy went into dive toward the
earth. His two companions were now
engaged in Il life and death struggle
and Lieutenant Chamberlain went to
their assistance. His action probably
saved the lives of the two English
men.
His engine was now working bet
ter He climbed up toward the enemy
and with a burst of re sent one of
them crashing to the earth. A Sec

ley from his machine gun. Then
Lieutenant Chamberlain looped out

which had gathered to finish him,
and. as he sailed away, he shot the
wing off another German machine.
Downcd Germans Leader
The leader of the German squad
ron came straight at him, but was
met with such a torrent of bullets
that his airplane Joined the others
sent to earth by the American.
The lieutenant then turned for the
British lines. His engine had gone
dead" and he was forced to Volplane,
carefully picking his way through the
smoke clouds of shells fired at him
by the enemy's anti-aircraft cannon.
AS he made a wide sweep toward
his destination, he saw beneath him
column of German troops and into
it he poured a gust of machine gun
bullets from the gun which had been
jammed, but which he had succeed
ed in putting into action again. The
Germans scattered and Lieutenant
flew on for an eighth of mile and
came to earth.
The American found that he could
not carry off the equipment of his
machine, so he took his compass and
started running across the fields. AS
he did so he encountered patrol OF
three Germans. He shouted to them
to surrender, waving compass
above his head, like bomb. Two of
the enemy ran, but the third sur
rendered.
The lieutenant started again for
the British lines, but came upon a
wounded French officer, who he pick
ed up and carried, driving his pris-
oner before him. He waded a brook
under heavy fire and finally arrived
within the British lines in safety
with the French officer and the Ger
man prisoner.
Chamberlain then reported ready
for duty" asked the major in COM
mand of the British airmen not to
make any report of the affair, and
refused to give his name. The major
was unable to keep the affair quiet
and the full details were made part
of his official report of the days
fighting.
