Col. Orozco's Proclamation.
Col. OrozcO's proclamation follows
BY direction of the provisional
president Of the United States OF Mex
leo. Licentiate Emilio NasQuez Gomez.
] address the chief. officers and soldiers
OF the national revolutionary army. who
are operating in the different states OF
the republic to recommend to them
strict observance Of the laws OF war, as
recognized by all civilized countries,
not only TO answer in this way the
summary executions and the burning
and destruction Of property frequently
pracUcec by the troops Of the govern
meut Of Mr.. MaderO. but principally be
cause the noble ideals Of liberty and
justice pursued by the revolution de-
mand that line OF conduct. which has
also been ordered by the military head
of the revolution and which has given
so much prestige to our cause.
Protect All Property.
THE damages caused by the war
must be reduced TO what is absolutely
unavoidable The property and persons
OF nOn-cOmbatants must not only be
respected, but guaranteed and protect
ed, within the limits of possibility, by
the members Of the revolutionary army.
Public archives and national build
!nEs, those OF the states and municipal
files, must be carefully protected by
the arms Of the revolution, because the
former contain data of positive value
TO every body, and the latter are for the
service OF the public and are the work
o. all the citizens who have contri buted
10 their erection And IF all nw0narf~
must be respected. It is not possible to
conceive that the people would damage
or destroy public property that belongs
10 them and represents their sacrifices
and their efforts during many genera
lions
Respect For Prisoners.
The provisional president recon-
mends that prisoners be treated in
strict conformity with the laws Of war.
without forgetting that We arc fighting
with brothers who are forced into the
struggle by the iniQuitOUs cOnscriptiOn
that is being enforced by the govern
ment OF MF. MaderO on a large scale
and throughout the republic, either
blinded by passion or by error. The
revolution. generous as the soul Of the
people that gives 1t life and sustains III.
must cover with the protecting shadow
or It's ideals, even those who fight
against It, so that, when the strife is
over, all can turn to the noble task Of
reorganization which the fatherland
demands Of its children
Respect For Foreigners
The president does not believe II
necessary TO call the attention Of the
gallant defenders of the revolutionary
cause to the necessity Of avoiding even
the remOtest occasion for friction with
any foreign power; for all the revOlu-
tionists are convinced Of the imperiOus
eXigency and have been careful that
foreigners suffer no anuOyances other
than such as il is not possible TO avoid
IN the case Of those who reside in the
regions disturbed by war. Nevertheless.
he reiterates, through me, the diverse
eIhOrtations he has made through the
press in this respect.
Which I have the honor to com Q
municate to you for the corresponding /
purposes.
Reform, liberty and justice.
