THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23,

.. . .

zky and other leaders of the comn-
munist faction of the Petrograd Sov-
iet had paved the way. The tottering
provisinal government was power-
less to save itself. After 24 hours
of almost bloodless skirmishing, dur-
ing which theaters functioned as us-
ual, while street fighting went on in
the next block, Kerensky had fled;
the rest of the provisional govern-
ment were prisoners; the city was
completely in the hands of the Soviets,
and Nikolai Lenine sat smiling in a1
little room at Sinolny Institute, apply-
ing his signature to proclamations he
had drawn up long before, announc-
ing the Proletarian Revolution in Rus-
sia and calling upon the proletarians
of the world to unite to asist them.,
In 1921, when the 'Soviet govern- l
ment had swept aside all military op-
position, and when Russia was, prac-
tically intact in communist hands,!
except for Poland, Finland and the
Baltic provinces, which broke off and
formed independent Republics, Lenine!
turned his hands to the task of build-
ing up the Russia the revolution shad
destroyed. To achieve this construct-
-ion. Lenine, with the daring that
characterized all of his major plans,
began what he call a stragetic re-f
treat from communism. A commun-
istic Utopia might be possible in
years to come, he said, but the ac-
tive communism as practised during
the period of the civil war had never.
been intended as permanent.
In the spring of 1922 Lenine's
health began to crack under the
strain. He became a victim of insom-
nia, and later on developed serious
nervous and gastric disorders. Al-
ways impatient of restraint, he would
not obey the commands of his Rus-
sian physicians or the advice of his
friends, and continued to work. In
the autumn of 1922 he suffered a ser-
ious attack, and for a long time his
life was despaired of. A number of
times he was reported dying, but un-.
der pressure from his associates he
at last consented to take a rest in
the country, ' and early in the year
1923 he appeared to be considerably
improved.
Physically Lenine was short, rather
plump, with a thick short neck, broad
shoulders, round, red face, high fore-
head, broad head, nose slightly up-
turned, brownish mustache and a
short, stubby beard. He has been de-
scribed as looking more like a country
grncer than a leader of men.
He was characterized by obser-
vers as the greatest intellectual force
in the Russian Revolution. He spoke
German. French and English, and read
works on economical problems in all
these languages as quickly as they
could be received in Moscow. Hav-
ing a world vision, and desiring a
world-revolution, he tried to keep in
touch with the thought and affairs of
all countries.

DAI91L PRESS. BREAKS
DOWN;,_CAUSES DELAY
A burned-out bearing in the ten-
horse power motor which drives the
printing press was the cause of the
delay in the distribution of yesterday's
Daily. The forms were on the press
at two o'clock and normally the en-
tire run would have been printed by
4 o'clock, but a bearing gave way
when scarcely a thousand papers had
been run. Mechanics labored over the
press constantly until, at 8:15 o'clock
it again started, finishing the output
at 9 o'clock. Carriershdistributedthe
Spapers as early in the day as free-
dom from 1classes would permit.
