FAKED LENIN LETTERS.

PARISIAN PRESS DUPED The pretended letter of Lenin published in the Paris “Matin,” of August 24 last, in which he was made to admit “grave errors’’ and complain' of “weariness,” is denounced to-day as a forgery by no less a person than Bourtzell himself, implacable enemy as he is of the Soviets. Bourtzeff declares, in the “Victoire” that 10 days ago he himbelf received a copy of the same letter, but, convinced that it was a fake, he refused to print it. Since then, he says, it has gone the round of the Russian newspapers published abroad. And the “Journal des Debats” makes the significant admission that “a number of apocryphal documents find their way, by accident or otherwise, into the Russian press”— which means the Russian White papers —“published outside Russia.”—“London Daily Herald.”
