LENIN’S HEALTH.
CHANCES OF RECOVERY. One of yesterday’s cables stated that M. Kenienev had been elected president of the commissars’ council and workers’ defence committee in succession to Lenin, lhe latest issue (August 10th) of the London “Times” received by yesterday’s mail publishes the following:— A competent observer, who has an intimate knowledge of Moscow and has just arrived in London from that capital, states that the anxiety aroused among the Bolshevist leaders by Lenin’s illness has now to a large extent subsided. Lenin had an apoplectic attack due to sclerosis (hardening) of the arteries and overwork. He was in bed six days. Since July 10th it has been possible for his most trusted colleagues to consult him on current political questions. He has been ordered a long rest and is living about twenty miles from Moscow at Gorki, an estate formerly owned by the Morozoffs, a wealthy Moscow merchant family. Rykoff is temporarily acting as President of the Council of People’s Comsaries during Lenin’s retirement.
