WORLD TO JVIAKE PROTEST
fr"ontlnued Krom First Paice.)
reconstruct their ration upon princi
ples of democracy and self government
end acting therefore solely in the in
terest of the Russian people them
selves, this Government feels that 4t
cannot be silent or refrain from ex
pressing its horrors at this state of
terrorism.
Alt Nations Act.
"Furthermore, it believes that in or
der to check the further increase of the
indiscriminate slaughter of Russian
citizens all civilized nations should reg
ister their abhorrence of such bar
barism. "You will Inquire, therefore, whether
the government to which you are ac
credited will be disposed to take some
immediate action which is entirely de
void from the atmosphere of belliger
ency and the conduct of the war. to
impress upon the perpetrators of these
crimes the aversion with which civ
ilization regards their present wanton
acts."
A precedent for this action on the
part of the United States has been
found In situation of a few years ago
when this country, after making a for
mal protest against the Indiscriminate
massacre of the Armenians by the
Turks, called on the nations of the
world to take similar action.
Former Move Recalled.
This alignment of the civilized pow
ers of the world had an Immediate
effect, inasmuch as Germany, even then
friendly and In alliance with Turkey,
became alarmed and exerted its in
fluence upon the Turkish government.
The situation in Russia, however, is
regardedxby officials of the American
Government as even more serious than
was that of the Armenians. Russians
are being executed by wholesale dally
upon the slightest pretext or upon no
pretext at alL
The accusation that a Russian or
alien may be opposed to the Bolshe
vik! rule actually Is sufficient excuse
for his execution.
It Is known that the Russian people
as a whole are opposed to the Lenlne
and Trotzky regime but are kept in
subjection by the terrorists. And it is
to save these loyal Russians that the
United States has called on the civilized
world to take immediate action.
Rnaalaas May Rlae.
If the Bolshevik! be declared out
laws by the world, they could find no
asylum when they are overthrown and
could be put on trial for their deeds.
It might result, it is believed, in the
Russian people overthrowing Lenlne
and Trotzky, as they would be con
scious of the support and approval of
the nations of the world.
There is some speculation as to the
attitude of the. neutrals, especially
those contiguous to Germany, but Mr.
Lansing expressly says in his note
that the joint action he desires shall
be entirely divorced from the atmo
sphere op belligerency and the conduct
of the war."
However, as the major part of the
world is already arrayed against the
central powers and the Bolshevikl have
been pronounced their allies it is
thought the allied governments will
take prompt action. ,
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 21. At a recent
meeting of the members of the Russian
Duma and the Russian Imperial Coun
cil at Kiev, it was resolved, says a tele
gram from that city, to issue an appeal
to the public opinion of all govern
ments to put a end to "the Bolshevist
terror."
The Ukrainian Council has decided
to send a protest to all countries
aitainst the arrest and shooting of
Ukrainian subjects in Russia.
The Ukrainian government also has
decided to ask Germany to undertake
the protection of Ukrainian Russia.

COMMISSIONER TOLD INDUSTRY
CANNOT STAND INCREASE.
Hearing of Complaint aa to Addition of
10 Per Cent Cloned Freight Rate
Cases Resume Monday.
Clyde B. Altchison, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner, closed the hearing
on complaint of the Oregon-Washing
ton-Idaho public service commissions
on behalf o( shippers against the in
crease of 10 per cent made effective
July 25 last night. As in the freight
rate hearings, the various representa
tives of Pacific Coast shippers, out
side of the three states united in the
complaint, intervened. The ci of
Portland also appeared as an inter
vener in the express rate hearing, as
an interested party in the shipment of
fish and other products. . The Ameri
can Railway Express Company and
shippers who appeared as witnesses, as
well as the lntervenors, will have ten
days in which to file briefs and submit
references in support of arguments
made.
Hearings on the freight rate cases
will be resumed Monday morning at
9:30 o'clock and be adjourned to Wash
ngton, D. C, after the completion of
testimony offered here, In order that
the railroads may submit testimony in
defense of the 25 per cent rate Increase,
Evidence introduced by fruit grow
ers yesterday was to the effect that
he orchardists of the Northwest could
not stand an increase in freight rates
on apples and maintain the Industry.
H. G. Davidson, of Hood River, con
tended that apples have not been a
profitable crop and cannot pay the
higher -rate. He would not say he
thought the rates Eastern growers en
joy were too low, but said that if it
were absolutely necessary to raise
greater revenue the Government should
pplythe Increase upon shippers who
could pay it without destroying any
ndustry.
Tomorrow the hearing will be direct
ed to the, complaint on diversion and
reconsignment of shipments.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE LORRAINE FRONT, Sept. 21.
Both German and American lines south
of Metz have now been well stabilized.
Occasional clashes have occurred be
tween outposts, but for the present
neither side is making any serious
effort to alter its position.
The German artillery has continued
its harassing fire, but the American
guns have far over-reached the enemy's
front lines, a shell falling occasionally
in the vicinity of Metz and serving to
emphasize to the Germans the advances
the allies have made.
There has been no bombardment of
the city of Metz, and a bombardment of
that place Is not expected during the
present operations. ihe fire against
the forts around Mets will be continued
at varying intervals.
Fires were observed today In the
town of Dommartin, behind the German
line, together with a heavy movement
of men and wagon trains. These were
taken to indicate a possible further re
tirement of the Germans. A harassing
fire was kept up at different points,
however, against the allied line and on
positions in the rear.
The Germans are using gas shells to
limited extent, especially for sprin
kling wooded areas. The towns of
Vilcey and Xammes and the Presle
Woods, southwest of Metz, are being
more heavily shelled by the Germans.
The American guns are returning the
fire and are harassing the Germans
to an equal degree.
No attempt was made by either side
today to advance. The American patrol
continued to dominate the greater part
of the space between the lines.

elaL) Battling Ortega tonight, at the

decision over Mike King, of Seattle, in
one or tne naraesL-uugiii. mmo , evei

auspices of which the contest was held.
The proceeds went to tne tiea uross.
Ortega showed tne Dener general
ship, but the cleverness of King in
blocking barrages of swings and
blocking punches which came with
pile-driving regularity stamped his
work as of a superior character. His
foot work stood him in good stead and
In more than one exchange and corner

altitude seemed to aiiect nis pace
somewhat, while on the other hand It
did not seem to bother the steam of
Ortega, whose speed persisted through

King showed up better In the early
rounds, in which he broke even with
Ortega, who developed into a better
fighting machine as the bout con
tinued, . though he seemed unable to
penetrate effectively the defense of
King.
Both lads made a splendid showing
and efforts will be made to rematch
them.
