GREATEST TYRANNY.
ARMENIAN HORRORS. OLIVER BALDWIN'S STORY. LONDON, September 7. Mr. Oliver Baldwin, the son of the Prime Minister, who unsucuessfully contested a seat in the Labour interests at the last general election, asserts that the Bolshevik terror in Armenia was the greatest tyranny the world has ever known. The Bolsheviki commandeered a cinema building at Erivan, in which they imprisoned dying men, women and children. It was pitch dark within the building, the stench was indescribable, and the groans heartrending. % No attempt to feed or medically treat the sufferers was made, and there was j no ' sanitation. , An o.v wagon daily removed the dead. Mr. Baldwin says that he saw a dying man licking a naked child, in animallike fashion, in an endeavour to restore its warmth.
