TARTARS V. ARMENIANS
BITTER FIGHTING NEAR BAKU,
Assn. LONDON, May 1. The Australian Press learns that there is no official confirmation of Moscow’s claim that a , Communist Government has been established at Baku, and proposed a military alliance with the Soviet Government, but recent news from Baku indicated very unsettled conditions. It seems likely that the Government of the new Republic of Azerbaidjan, in which Baku is situated, has proved too weak to control the revolutionary elements. The situation is complicated owing l to bitter fighting between Tartars and Armenians. During the past two months several lynchings have taken place, culminating in the murder of 400. Armenians at Marabagh The Annenians retaliated. They marched on Marabagh in strength and kidnapped the Tartar Governor as a hostage, but an armistice was arranged a fortnight ago.
