LENIN’S BODY DECOMPOSES
EMBALMING NOT SUCCESSFUL i-DECISION TO CREMATE REMAINS. CONSEQUENCE MAY BE IMPORTANT By Telegraph—Tress Assn. —Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. Berlin, August 2. Experts now admit that the embalming of Lenin’s body, which would supposedly preserve it to all eternity, was inferior in character, with the result that nothing will now stay the process of dissolution which is proceeding rapidly. ■ The remains will therefore be cremated and the ashes will be kept in the mausoleum at the Kremlin, where the display of the body in a glass coffin has done much to intensify the spread of Leninism in the population like the Russians. News of the body’s decomposing will have an enormous effect upon the peasants throughout, the .country and may presage the end, of Lenin’s work.
