LENINE FUNERAL
GREATEST EVENT
IN MANY YEARS
Moscow. Feb. I—The funeral of
Lenine was the greatest event fori
Russia since the downfall of Czar j
Nicholas. It was more for the peo-1
pie of Moscow than the funeral of a j
mortal man. In thdjfrwords of the
Estatic Declaration the Congress of
the Soviet Federal Union issued the
following statement: “We salute
the mightiest of our past leaders."
The guard beside the body was dou
bled in the last hours to permit hun
reds. who claimed the privilege to
view the body, to take turns in per
iods of five minutes instead of ten as
before. Combined orchestras of the
Grand Opera House played ChopHUs
Requiem and selections of Wagner,
which was followed by the Bolshe
vikl Funeral March. Even in the
Halls it was bitterly cold and the
majority of those present retained
their coats and high felt boots. The
huge pile of wreaths that hid the
silent form in the center of the hall
was removed for space. The Rus- j
siaos present sang moving words of
the funeral march and Internation
ale which ended the ceremony. Then
the hall was cleared of everyone ex
cept members of the family and close
friends. At this time two Govern
ment officials and two workers and
two peasants raised the coffin, which
was then closed and enveloped in
red cloth, for the final stage of the
long pilgrimage. Through the grey
lines of troops, not unlike pictures
of the medieval Russian Knights in
peaked helmets coming low over the
shoulders, the co®n was Tarried
with changes of the bearers every
fifty yards, still in the possession of
two of the Soviet leaders *o four of
their humblest comrades, to the Red
SqMn where the whole garrison of
Moscow was standing at rigid atten
tion. When the coffin was placed -rf*
the Bias, Yevdokimof. a member of
tbe PotroRrad Commercial Party,
chosen because of hemp reputed to
have the loudest voice in Russia,
read out the Extraordinary Declara
tion of the Federation of Congress.
The Declaration was a sheer revolu
tionary mysticism, proving beyond
doubt that the Bolshevik! of today is
no longer a political or social pro
gram but a new religion.

The advisability of prescribing
different open seasons for white fox

SECOND- The change in the
muskrat season is radical and. we
believe, efficacious.
The long midwinter season is not
wanted either by trappers or trad
ers. It leads to a destruction of
houses and runawan that would
certainly exterminate the rat if long
continued. The forty days open

hunter a chance to select and shoot
the finest rats at a time when their

issue upon himself by a wholesale
destruction of beaver house* dining
