Proclamation

l, d. p. Douglass, Sheriff of Ches-
terfield County, deem it wise in the
present crisis in this formal proclama-
tion to assure ali residents of foreign
birth that even in the event of the
United States becoming actively in
volved in the great European war, no
citizen of any foreign power, resi-
dent in Chesterfield county, need fear
any invasion of his personal proper
ty rights so long as he goes peaceablv
about his business and conducts him
self in law-abiding manner.
The United States has never, in
any war confiscated the property of
any foreign resident unless by his
own hostile acts he made it neces-
sary.
take this formal means of declar-
ing to all foreign-born residents that
they will be protected in the owner.
ship of their property and money,
and that they will be free from per-
sonal molestation, so long as they
obey the laws of the State and nation
and ordinances of the towns.
/ urgently request that all our
people refrain from public discus
sions of questions involved in the
present crisis and maintain a calm
and considcrate attitude toward all
without regard to their nationality.
Let it be understood that every
citizen owes undivided allegiance to
the Flag, that he is expected to 10y
ally fulfill all obligations which citi-
zenship and residence impose upon
him, and that any act, however slight.
tending to give aid or comfort to the
enemy, is treason, for which severe
penalties are provided in addition to
that punishment which public opin-
ion inflicts upon the memory Of all
traitors in all lands.

Sheriff Of Chesterfield County.

Hyde, and John P. Thomas, chairman
of the Chamber Of Commerce COM
mittee on military affairs; Capt. H.

the Sumter Guards.
Through the courtesy of Seider-
berg & Co., the infantrymen will have

100000 men.
All male citizens and male per-
sons who have declared their ipten-
tion to become citizens, between the
ages of FL and 40 years, inclusive ac-
cording to the house, are subject to
the draft, which is to be conducted
under regulations prescribed by the
President. Quotas for the several
States, territories and the District of
Columbia shall be determined in pro-
portion to population, credit being
given each State for the number of it's
citizens already in the military serv-
ice.
The recruiting and maintaining by
voluntary enlistment or draft, of spe-
cial and technical troops is author
lied. Where the interests of the
service will not suffer, the President
may keep together local organiza-
tions, with officers from the same To-
caiities. This does not apply to the
regular army.
The pay of enlisted men in all
branches of the service is increased
from SIS to $50 month during the
continuance of the war.
Provisional exemptions, to be de-
termined by the President, apply,
The Chesterfield advertiser. [volume] (Chesterfield C.H., S.C.) 1884-1978, 1917-05-03

among others to persons engaged in
industries including agriculture,
found to be necessary for the main-
tenance of the military establish
ment; persons with dependant fami-
lies, where such dependency makes it
inadvisable to draft the supporting
male; those found to be mentally and
physically deficient, and such per-
sons employed in the service of the
United States as the President may
designate.
Persons evading registration and
draft are subject to imprisonment
from three months to one year and to
registration.
Strong house opposition to
young mans war" was shown by the
prompt rejection of an amendment by
Congressman Miller, of Minneapolis,
who moved to make the age limits for
the draft 10 to 25 years as originally
suggested by the war department and
substantially as provided in the SEN
ate bill.
If the senate adheres to it's plan
for the conscription of men from 2I
to 27 years only delay in confer
ence is probable. This is the chief
difference in the two bills.
