URGED TO TAKE
 HAND IN RUSSIA
Wilson Appeals to All Nations to End BOlsheviki TerrOrism-ActiOn In- < tended to Save Russian People
 From Being Slaughtered.

Washington, Sept 21.--Horrified by the bloody reign of terror ill Russia, the United ates today caiied upon all allied and neutral nations to con- slider what they may do to impress upon the Bolsheviki the aversion with which the civilized world regards their w2nton crimes.
 By direction of President Wilson, Secretary Lansing dispascned En Identical instruction to every Ameri- can diplomatic representative in the foreign capitals.
 The action aligns the United States with Great Britain and France in de- clf ring the Bolsheviki responsible Tor the murders, crime and excesses which have shocked the world, out:aws and public enemies.
 Not Part of the War.
 Whatever action may be decided upon by tho nations, separately or in concert, it is made clear, will be quite apart from the prosecution or the war against Germany. The reported action of the Bolsheviki in effeciing an al liance with Germany for ofrense and defense is an added cause-for the step.
 Official reports from Russ;s., many coming through neutral countries have recited revolting acts taa: nave tstounded and shocked the world. The reign of terror has alreasy greatly hindered the efforts of the United States to alleviate an impending fam inc in Russia. and it is impossible to furnish much needed supplies 70 tna: part oi the country under Eoishevikl control without actually feecing the German ermy hnd the German popu- lace.
 It is conceded that there IS enough food in southeastern Russia and western Siberia to feed ali the fius- sian people if means of Distribution could be effected to keep the supplies from falling into German hands.
