LENIN'S BODY.
Inferior Embalming Does Not
Stop Decay.
PROPOSAL TO CREMATE.
BERLIN, August 3.
Experts now admit that the embalming of Lenin's body, which it was supposed would have preserved it for all eternity, was inferior in character, with tho result that nothing now will stay tho process of dissolution which is proceeding rapidly.
The remains of the Russian revolutionary leader, therefore, are to bo cremated and the ashes will bo kept in a mausoleum in tho Kremlin, where the display of tho body in a glass coffin has done much to intensify tho spread of Leninism among a population like that of Russia. Tho news that Lenin's body is decomposing will have an enormous effect upon the peasants throughout the country and may presage the end of his work.
