Whatever action may be decided
upon by the nations, separately or in

Text of Instructions.
This is the text of the State de-
partment's instructions to the Amer
ican diplomats:
This government is in receipt of
information from reliable sources
revealing that the peaceable Russian
citizens of Moscow, Petrograd. and
other cities are suffering from an
openly avowed campaign of marked
terrorism and are subject to whole
sale executions. Thousands of per-
sons have been shot without even a
form of trial; ill-administered pris-
ons are filled beyond capacity and
every night scores of Russian citi-
zens are recklessly put to death, and
irresponsible bands are venting
their brutal passions in the daily
massacre of untold innocents. I
"In view of the earnest desire of
the people of the United States to
befriend the Russian people and to
lend all possible assistance in their
struggle to reconstruct their ma
tion upon principles of democracy
and self-government, and acting,
therefore. solely in the interest of
the Russian people themselves, this
government feels that it cannot be
silent or refrain from expressing its
horror at this state of terrorism.
Furthermore, it believes that in Or
der to check the further increase Of
the indiscriminate slaughter of Rus
sian citizens all civilized nations
should register their abhorrence of
such barbarism. .. ........
you will inquire, therefore,
whether the government to which
you are accredited will be disposed
to take some immediate action which
is entirely devoid from the atmos-
phere of belligerency and the con-
duct of the war, to impress upon
perpetrators of these crimes the
aversion with which civilization re-
CARDS their present wanton acts"
Relief Work Hindered.
The reported action Of the boil
sheviki in effecting an alliance with
Germany for offense and defense is
an added cause for the step.
Official reports from Russia, many
coming through neutral countries,
have recited revolving acts that have
astounded and shocked the world.
The reign of terror has already
greatly hindered the efforts of the
United States to alleviate an inn
pending famine in Russia, as it is
impossible to furnish much needed
supplies to that part of the country
under bolshevik control without ac-
tually feeding the German army and
the German populace. 1t is con-
ceded that there is enough food in
southeastern Russia and western ST.
IBERIA to feed all the Russian people
if a means of distribution. could be
effected to keep the supplies from
falling into German hands.
The alliance between the bolshe-
wiki and Germany presents a dan
gerous situation to the allies in that
it may afford Germany an opportun-
ity greatly to increase her waning
man power. I
Secretary Lansing today reiterated
that the efforts of American troops
at Vladivostok and Archangel were
solely to aid the Czecho-Slovaks to
leave Russia, for the western front
