BOLSHEVIK-ARMENIA.
STRICKEN BY FAMINE.
LONDON, March 20.
The Daily Mail’s Constantinople correspondent draws a dreadful picture of the desperate straits of the famine-stricken inhabitants of Bol-shevik-Armenia. He gives in evidence the grisly spectacle of armed Reds encircling the cemeteries at Erivan to prevent disinterment of corpses. 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 towns.
