THE NEAR EAST
h TALE OF HORROR. FAMINE AND ANARCHY. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, March 21. (Received March 22, at 9 a.rn.) The ‘ Daily Mail’s ’ Constantinople correspondent describes the desperate straits of the famine-stricken inhabitants of Bolshevik Armenia, giving as evidence the grisly spectacle of armed Reds encircling the cemeteries at Erivan to prevent the disinterment of corpses, as an organised attempt has been discovered to sell them as butchers’ meat. Numerous arrests have been made. Wolves are harrying the outlying villages. Two soldiers on outpost duty were devoured. Food riots are breaking out in the towns.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
