INHUMAN BOLSHEVIKS.
ATROCITIES IN ARMENIA. A MODERN "BLACK HOLE." LONDON. Sept. a. Mr. Oliver Baldwin, the soil of the Primo Minister, who unsuccessfully 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 Bolsheviks 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 no sanitation. An ox waggon 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.
