President Wilson has invited the Allies and all the neutrals
to join him in a solemn protest against the Bolshevik ,Terror in Russia, so as " to impress upon the perpetrators of these crimes the aversion with which civilization regards their present wanton acts." We should hope that even the most timid and German- ridden neutrals will have courage enough to unite in denouncing M. Lenin and M. Trotsky and their fellow-criminals, at whose orders " every night scores of Russian citizens are recklessly put to death, and irresponsible bands are venting their brutal passions in the daily massacre of untold innocents." The Germans are watching the slaughter of Russians by Russians with ill-concealed delight ; but outside the enemy countries there must, as the President says, be universal " abhorrence of such barbarism."
