MENTALLY DEAD
M. LENIN’S CONDITION.
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, March 51. The Daily Mail Moscow correspondent says that M. Lenin is already mentally dead. His right side, arms, and legs are completely paralysed, and his tongue is partially paralysed. A German specialist believes that the severing 'of a small artery in the neck at the time of M. Lenin’s attempted assassination deprived his brain of a due flow of blood, and fatal results are now accruing. All agree that he will not participate in public life again. The Soviet authorities are keeping secret the place where their leader is dying, and his sister is acting as hisTmrse. \ . M. Lenin’s wife, an ex-Siberian convict, is a fanatical Communist. She served a five years’ sentence on a charge of attempting a system under which the Russian youth would abandon Christianity and lie trained as militant atheists. On the other hand, Mi. Lenin’s sister is a Christian, and has arranged masses ’ for the repose of his soul after his death.—A. and N.Z. Cable. ;
