WARNS AGAINST
RIOTS in U. S.
U. S. District Attorney Cautions
People Not to Let Passion
Rule Them

A letter cautioning every one to re-
frain from letting their passions over
rule their better judgment in attacks
on natives of foreign power is being
spread broadcast throughout this dis
trict by Rogers l.. Burnett, United
States attorney in the middle district
of Pennsylvania.
The letter follows:
In the absence of any method es-
tabllshed by law to afford protection
to citizens or subjects of nation with
which the United States is at war, and
who may be resident or sojourning in
the United States, it seems advisa bl
for the department at this time to in
dicate to its officers it's views.
Experience in other countries has
demonstrated that especially at the
outbreak of hostilities and Immediate
ly thereafter, innocent persons have
lost their lives or suffered serious
property damage at the hands of mobs
and of more or less irresponsible in
dividuals. and instead in some in
stances at the hands of persons who
are ordinarily sober and conservative
citizens, but who have temporarily al
lowed their passions to get the better
of their good judgment
Riots Would Be Blot
The Department feels very strongly
that any violance directed against per-
sons simply because or their national
ity or friendly attitude toward a coun-
try with which the United States may
be at war would be most serious blot
upon the name of this country.
Citizens of a foreign country with
whom the United States may be at
war who engage in improper or un-
lawful activities against it or it's citi-
zens will be promptly and adequately
dealt with in accordance with law. but
all who refrain from such hostilities
and abide by the laws of this country
