Declare BOlshevists Outlaws Responsible for Crime and Excesses Which Have
 Shocked the World
NEUTRALS AS WELL AS ALLIES ASKED
 FOR COOPERATION
Bolsheyik Alliance With Ger many for Offense and De- fense Added Cause for
 Step by President
tnx Asseciatea Pres..l

Washington, September q. Mortified by the bloody reign of terror in Russia, the United States today called upon all allied and neutral nations to consider what they may do to impress upon the bolsheviki the aversion with which the civilized world regards their wanton crimes.
 By direction of President Wilson, Secretary Lansing dispatched an iden- tic instruction to every American dip- lomutic Representative in the foreign capitsls The action aligns the Uni ted States with that of Great Britain and France in declaring the bolsheviki outlaws and public enemies respon- sible for the murders, crime and ex- cesses which have shocked the world.
 Whatever action may be decided
 upon by the nations. separately or
 in concert, 1t Is made clear will
 be quite apart from the prosecu-
 ton of she war against Germany.
 This is the text of the state depart ment's instruction to the American diplomats:
 TEXT OF INSTRUCTIONS
 This government Is in receipt of in- formation from reliable sources reveal ing that the peaceable Russian citizens of Moscow and Petrograd ana other cities are suffering from an openly avowed campaign of marked terrorism. and are subject to wholesale execution. Thousands of persons have been shot without even form of trial; ill-minis- tered prisons are filled beyond capacity and every night scores of Russian peo- pie are put to death; and irresponsible hands are venting their brutal passions in the daily massacre of untold inno- cents.
 Tn view of the earnest desire of the people of the United States to befriend the Russian people and lend them all possible assistance In their struggle 10 reconstruct their nation upon principles of democracy and self-government and acting therefore solely in the interest of the Russian people themselves, this gov ernment feels that it cannot be silent or refrain from expressing its horror at this state of terrorism. Furthermore, it is believed that in order to check the further increase of the indiscriminate slaughter of Russian citizens all civilized nations should register their abhorrence of such barbarism.
 You will inquire. therefore, whether the government to which you are ac. credited will be disposed to take soma immediate action which Is entirely de. void from the atmosphere of beliigerency and tho conduct of the war. to impress upon the perpitrators of these crimes the aversion with which civilization regardl their present wanton acts

Allied troops are progressinR satisfactorily in breaking down the dcfenses of st. Quentin. On the north the British are fighting in the HindenburE positions and pressing toward the canal between St. Quentin and Cambraf, while on the south the French are moving forward steadily.
 For . stretch of more than 10 miles north of St. Quentin the BritIsh now hold the dominating hills and the present local action in the region west of Catelet prob- ably Is for the purpose of further improving the situation in antlc- ipation of great assault against the Hindenburg line. The main defenses in the region between Cambrai and st. Quentin. both of which are threatened by the press ent British operations, are based on the canal. highway and railroad running north and south on an av- craze of about two milea from Field MarshaI Haig's front line.
