MANIFIISTODEL MAYOR GENERAL W. A.

HOLBROOK. COMANDANTE BNJEFE DE LA DIVISION DEL SOR

A los Ciudadanos Mexicanosresidentes en los Estados de Nue-vo Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma y

Texas.

Por varios dias los propagan-distas germanos han estado cir-culando los mas alarmantes ru-mores entre la poblacion mexica-na relativa al registro decretadopor el Gobierno de este pat's. Ta-les rumores son infundados, deruindad manifiesta y falsos en ab-soluto. Como resultado de esamaliciosa propaganda, muchos de

los mexicanes residentes en losEstados Unidos han estado aban-donando sus productivas ocupa-

ciones, sacrificando sus propie-dades y otras atenciones persona

le3 para retirarse con sus fami-liares a territorio mexicano.

Esta proclama no tiene otro

objeto que el de ofrecer a los me-xicanos una clara explication decuales son los propositos del Go-bierno de este pais en el asuntode que se trata.

La Ley de Reclutamiento por

selection requiere el registro detodos los varones residentes en12 de Septiembre del corrienteaflo, entre las edades de 18 a2lyde3l a 45 afios. REGISTRO,entiendase bien, de ninguna ma-nera significa RECLUTAMIEN-TO.

Son del todo falsos los rumo-res que se han hecho circular deque los Ciudadanos mexicanos se-ran forzados al servicio militar;lo anterior puede igualmente apli-

carse a otras nacionalidades. Losmexicanos no deberan sacrificarsus intereses tan solo por la mal-vada propaganda del aleman. Sinduda alguna que se impone el re-gistro, pero esto unicamente sig-

nifica protection para los que no

est&n obligados al enlistamiento.Bastara que un mexicano presen-

te su carta de ciudadania para

que quede exceptuado de todaobligacidn. Oficiales, abogadosy otroß ciudadanos de los Esta-dos Unidos, gustosos prestaran

toda su ayuda a aquellos mexica-nos que no hablen nuestroidioma,

a fin de que puedan preparar en

la mejor forma los documentosque comprueben su exception.

A fin de establecer propia-

mente su ciudadania mexicana,los que esten en condiciones de

hacerlo deberan presentar el cer-tificado de nacimiento En el ca-so de que tal certificado no setenga, se sugiere la certificationde dos testigos.dignos de confian-za, que acrediten el lugar de su

nacimiento y cualquiera otra in-formation que les sea provechosa.

La ciudadania puede tarn biencomprobarse por el hecho de ha-berse propiamente matriculadoen su mils cercano Consulado Me-xicano.

El trabajo, en estos momentos,

se remunera con esplendidez. Hayempleos para todos. Las condicio-nes de los negocios son buenas y

el pais floreciente. Aquellos

que permanezcan en 61, ademas

de beneficiarse a si mismos, con-tribuirfin con su pequeno grano

de arena al aniquilamiento de laautocracia. Es el proposito del Gobierno Americano seguir impar-tiendo 6 los mexicanos todos losderechos y libertades de que hangozado desde que se encuentranen nuestro pais.

No presteis atencion alguna alos falsos rumores que los alemanes han hecho circular y segui-r&n circulando. En caso de duda,consulte inmediatamente a suConsul; tambien a distinguidosciudadanos americanos descen-dientes de mexicanos. Consultecon sus propios intereses y los desu familia y no abandone ustedsu ocupacidn, conserve su propie-dad y persevere en los negociosqus por hoy ocupan su atencion.

PROCLAMATION.

Os Major General W. A. Hol-brook, Commanding SouthernDepartment, to the Mexican

Citizens residing in the statesof New Mexico, Arizona, Ok-lahoma, and Texas.

For several days Germanpropagandists have been busycirculating rumors among theMexican population about theregistration. These rumors arebaseless, malicious and untrue.As a result some of them arequitting unusually profitableemployment, sacrificing theirproperty and other interests,and leaving with their familiesfor Mexico.

This proclamation is issuedfor the purpose of enabling allMexicans to clearly understandthe policy of the United StatesGovernment in this matter.

The Selective ConscriptionLaw requires the registrationof all male residents on Septem-ber 12, 1918, between the agesof eighteen and twenty-one andthirty-one and 1 fortyf-ive. Reg-istration, however, is not con-scription.

Rumors that Mexican citi-zens will be drafted are false.This applies likewise to aliensof all other countries. Do not

sacrifice your interests becauseof false German propaganda.Registration is required butthat means protection for thealiens from the draft. All thatis necessary for a Mexican cit-izens to do to secure exemptionis to establish his Mexican citi-zenship. Officials, attorneysand other patriotic citizens willassist those Mexicans who donot understand our language toprepare Questionaires in whichtheir claim for exemption willbe properly set out.

In order to properly estab-lish your Mexican citizenship,those who can do so should havewith them their birth certifi-cates. In the event that thiscertificate is not at hand, it issuggested that you secure affi-davits from two reliable wit-nesses concerning your birthplace or such other evidence asis available. Citizenship can al-so be established by the factthat you have been properlymatriculated at your nearest

Mexican consulate.Labor at this time is being

paid unheard-of prices. Em-ployment is plentiful. Businessconditions are good and thecountry is prosperous. Thosewho remain in addition to ben-efiting themselves will be “do-ing their bit" toward winningthe war against autocracy. It

is the desire of the Governmentto continue to extend to Mexi-cans all the rights and libertieswhich heretofore influencedthem to come within our bor-ders-

Do not be deceived’ by theseor other false rumors whichwill be circulated by Germanpropaganda. Consult your con-suls also prominent Americancitizens of Mexican descentwhen doubts arise. Consultyour own interests and those ofyour families and stick to your

employment and hold on to your

property and business.

sick. Mrs. Dunbar had refus-

ed to allow Mr. Dunbar to be

notified of her illness,

Monday evening Dr. W. F.Chenoweth was summoned by

telegraph to Santa Ana by Mr.

J. M. Federico, whose daughter

was very ill with typhoid fever,

the call being very urgent. Sowith his office assistant, Mr.David Martinez, the doctorstarted about 9 o’clock at night,in an automobile, and made therun to the town mentioned’, adistance of 62 miles. Aftergiving the sick child all thetreatment his skill and know-ledge called for, the doctorstarted on his return. Throughmuch tire trouble there wasgreat delay, and the two didnot reach home until about 2

o’clock yesterday afternoon.

School House Invaded.

School opened yesterday at

Calabasas. It should haveopened 1 the day before, but thevacation tenants of the build-ing objected to leaving.

The tenants referred to werehoney bees, an immense swarmof which had taken possessionof the school house during thesummer. When the time camefor the opening of school, andthe building was unlocked andthe janitor started cleaning up

preparatory to the event, thebees objected.

A council of war was held,and as a result the building wassmoked, and dosed with for-maldehyde, and dosed’ with va-rious other drugs supposed tobe capable of making any bee onearth desert its happy home.Apparently the unwelcome oc-cupants were driven out.

But when the building wasopened up Monday morning, andthe bell was rung to call theyoungsters, the bees respondedinstead. They came with farmore enthusiasm than couldhave been expected from thelegitimate pupils.. Not only

that, but they absolutely re-fused to recognize the authori-ty of the teacher or submit toschool discipline. In fact, they

did their best to start a roughhouse.

There was more “dosing,”and the bees subsided. But assoon as the bell was rung again,they trooped forth as if theyrecognized a call to battle.

Finally word of the dilemawas sent to Mrs. J. A. Saxon,and she directed that the doorand window casings, in the hol-lows of which the intrudershad domiciled themselves, betorn off and that the bees beousted at whatever cost. Thiswas done, and finally the lastof the swarm was driven out.But it delayed the opening ofthe school until Tuesday morn-ing.

Flying the Country.

Yesterday Mr. H. C. Harrisonwas in from the R. R. R. mining

camp. Mr. Harrison reported

that a hegira of Mexicans is be-ing experienced at his camp,

and at Duquesne. He stated toa representative of The Oasisthat he had heard that thesame trouble is experienced atDuquesne, and both camps areworking shorthanded. The

cause of the migration is re-ported to be a fear of the opera-

tion of the new draft law. In?pite of assurances that alienswill not be drafted, the Mexi-cans are dubious, and they areplaying “safety first.”

But a week ago Mr. Harrisonreturned from the Brownsvillecountry, where he visited hisson, Capt. H. L. Harrison, intel-ligence officer. Mr. Harrison

stated that there, and all alongthe border coming home, hefound the same conditions:Mexicans are fleeing to theirnative land, taking with themwhat they can carry, whiletheir sole and only reason formaking the change is their fearthat the new draft law will takethem. The border states arelosing thousands of peoplethough that same fear.
