Theatre, where the Soviet Congress
is in session.
The news OF the death OF Len:n.
whose real name was Vladimir Hitch
Oulianoff. found Moscow celebrating
the famous Bloody Sunday" tJanu-
airy 20, 1sO5) with all the buildings
dressed in red.
Az soon as the news spread black
flags and draperies began to appear
everywhere, with the newspapers is
suing extras and the population dis
playing keen and genuine sorrow.
At the opening OF the congress of
federated Soviet Republics three days
ago President Kalenin announced that
Comrade Lenin was much improved
in health and was valiantly combat
ing the Illness which had so long
kept him from his official activities.
1t fell to Kalenin, when the fed
Grated delegates assembled on the an
niversary of the first revolutionary
outbreak in Russia seventeen years
ago, to break the news of Lenin's
death to the congress. His face
ashen. this close friend and associate
for years of the master mind of Boil
shevism, with appraised hands signal
ling for silence. in an almost broken
voice announced that death had come.
He cried out:
Comrades. our great Lenin is no
longer with u.s."
The huge audience seemed petri-
fed, and it was as though all breath
ing had been suspended for the mo
ment.
At Kalenin's right, Zinoyiev. head
Of the International Communists
party, with his hair disheveled and
collar awry, plainly showing the eff
fects of narrowing night watching
and waiting for the expected end,
tried to dry his flowing tears, while
Kamenev, Commissar for Trade bury
ing his face, and other leaders, shook
with emotion.
The official bulletin announcing the
death of the President of the Council
Of Peoples Commissars (the Russian
Soviet Government) was issued at
1925 in the morning. 1t was signed
by Health Commissar Semashko and
five other physicians, and read:
"A sudden sharp turn for the worse
in the condition of Comrade Lenin
occurred on January 81.
Sat half-past five his breathing was
interrupted, and this was followed
by a period of Inconsistencies and
commissions.
"At 6: so p m. Lenin expired, show
ing symptoms OF paralysis Of the
breathing organs"
The emotional Slav temperament
reacted Immediately. From all over
the huge opera house came sobs and
waiIing, not loud nor shrill, but pitt
fully mournful, spreading and increas-
ing. Kalenin could not speak He
tried vainly to motion for silence
with his hands and for one appalling
moment a dreadful outbreak OF mass
hysteria seemed certain. A tenth OF
a second later it could not have been
averted, but Yunakidze, Secretary of
the Russian Federal Union, thrust
forward his powerful frame and with
hand and voice demanded calm. Then
Kalenin, stumbling. read out the Off
ciaI bulletin.
Lenin will be buried in the Kremlin
Wall in the Red Square where lie

of the Soviet Republic, and other we'll
