With thousands of her own eons
fighting under the flag, and with
casualty lists from France bearing the
simple statements that numbers of
them have given their Uvea gloriously,
has Portland fallen to the depths of
an apathetic patriotism that forgets
the plain duty of the fourth liberty
loan?
Proof that the city Is sleeping or
lacking rests In the figures that dis
mayed local liberty loan officials yes
terday, when compiled returns showed
but 6.S25,000 of Portland's quota of
SlS.000,000. with fully 60 per cent of the
city already canvassed by the field

WASHINGTON. Kept 21. Horrified
by the bloody reign of terror in Russia,
the United States today called on all
allied and neutral nations to consider
what they mar do to impress upon the
Bolshevik! the aversion with which the
civilized world regards their wanton
crimes.
By direction of President Wilson,
Secretary Lansing despatched instruc
tions to all American diplomatic repre
sentatives in the foreign capitals, both
allied and neutral.
The" action aligns the United States
with that of Great Britain and France
In declaring the Bolshevlkl responsible
for the murders, crime and excesses
which have shocked the world, outlaws
and public enemies.
Actio Sot War Move.
Whatever action may be decided on
Dy the nations, separately, or in con'
cert, it Is made clear will be quite
apart from the prosecution of the war
against Germany.
The reported action of the Bolshevlkl
in effecting an alliance with Germany
tor offense and defense Is an added
cause for the step.
Official reports from Russia, many
coming through neutral countries, have
recited revolting acta . that have
astounded and shocked the world.
The reign ..at- .terror- has already
greatly hindered the efforts of the
United States to alleviate an Impend
ing famine In Russia, as It is impossi
ble to furnish much-needed supplies to
that part of the country under Bolshe
vik control without actually feeding
the German army and the German pop
ulace. Food la Rinli Ample.
It Is conceded that there Is enough
food in Southeastern Russia and West
ern Siberia to feed all the Russian peo
ple if a means of distribution could be
effected to keep the supplies from fall
ing into German hands.
The alliance between the Bolshevik-
lsts and Germany presents a dangerous
situation to the allies In that it may
afford German an opportunity greatly
to Increase her waning manpower.
The instructions to the United States
Representatives at foreign capitals fol
low: "This Government Is in receipt of In
formation from reliable sources reveal
ing that the peaceable Russian citi
zens of Moscow, Petrograd and other
cities are suffering from an openly
avowed campaign of marked terrorism
and are subject to wholesale execu
tions. Thousands Ruthlessly Slain.
"Thousands of persons have been
shot without even a form of trial; 111
administered prisons are filled beyond
capacity; every r.ight scores of Russian
citizens are recklessly put to death:
and Irresponsible bands are venting
their brutal passions In the daily mas
sacre of untold innocents.
"In view of the earnest desire of
the people of the United States to be
friend the Russian people and lend all
possible assistance in their struggle to

ARCHANGEL, Russia. Sept 11. (By
the Associated Press.) The American
Army contingent in Northern Russia
already has played an important role.
Its uniform is familiar everywhere
from Archangel to the front.
The engineers are busily engaged in
constructing roads and in other detail
work, while the other troops and sail
ors are carrying out their respective
duties.
Many of the men had been disinclined
to come to Russia, fearing there would
be no excitement, as compared with
that in France. Their tune now is a
changed one.
. Besides having their military duties
to perform the Americans have been
hard at work in sanitation, relentlessly
scrubbing down the quarters formerly
occupied by the Bolshevlkl and digging
drainage ditches.
Recently, owing to a political dls
pute, the streetcar system In Arch

squad of Detroit motormen Immedia

DEFIANCE NOTE DOMINANT
March of Liberty Precedes Great
Mass Meeting Held at Munici
pal Auditorium; Children
Prominent Feature.
Twelve hundred loyal American
mothers, every one of whom has
given from one to six boys to ths
cause of Democracy, matched In last
night's parade which preceded the
liberty loan mass meeting in Munici
pal Auditorium.
Two hundred wives of men "over
there" followed in the second section,
some of them carrying babies, and
all wearing on their arm a small serv
ice flag bearing a bold blue service
star upon the fleld of white. Then
came hundreds of Bisters, proudly dis
playing the small insignia of loved
ones at the front.
Parade Thrills Throngs.
It was a parade such as is seldom
seen, even in the days of stirring war
activities. There was little of pathos in
it; just a note of defiance to Kaiser
Bill and his henchmen; a martial step
that donated the determination of Port
land mothers to down the Hun. and an
air of confidence In the belief that right
win prevail.
The Jong line moved in four divisions,
mothers being first, and classified ac
cording to the number of stars on their
service flags. Those with the golden
stars occupied the place of honor, fol
lowed by those with the larger num
bers In the nation's service, and grad
uating down to those with but one.
The fourth section was composed of
children, many of them In autos.
Bands Play Stirring Airs.
Following the police escort were'
speakers of the evening, and Portland's
pride, the Multnomah Guard band, .
which played stirring airs as the line
passed through the long columns of
spectators crowding walks on either
side of the streets leading to the Audi
torium. The Foundation Shipbuilding
Corporation band, the Columbia Ship
building Corporation band and the
Moose band each headed a section, and
the following marshals were in charge:
Grand Marshals, Mrs. J. C. Mann and
Mrs. E. P. Geary; mother's eection, Mrs.
George L. Williams: wives -division.
Mr. K. T. C. Stevens; sisters' division.
Miss Marjorie Moore; children's divis
ion, Mrs. Dan Malarkey.
France's Gratitude Told.
Fully 4000 friends and relatives of
those In the service thronged the Audi
torium following the parade and lis
tened to a patriotic programme of songs
and talks. Practically the entire lower
floor' was occupied by mothers and
wives of the boys in khaki. Others
filled In a good half of the balcony.
France's gratitude to the United
States and to the mothers who had
given their sons In the fight against
Prussian autocracy was expressed In
a short speech by Captain E. M. Hlrsch,
of the French Mission.
Tribute Paid to Mothers.

tain, "I would picture France, bleed
