WARNING ISSUED
TO CIVILIANS
ABOUT ARMS
ATTENTION CALLED TO
DANGER IN SO DOING
Citizens Have No Right to Take
Part in Military Operations
Might be Executed

At the conference Wednes-
day evening between Gen. Der.
c. Cabell, U. S. A., command
ing the troops at Nogales, and
the committee having in hand
the work of organization of a
Home Guard at Nogales, con-
sisting of Sheriff R.R. Earhart,
Town Marshal J. J. Lowe, Capt.
L. w. Mix, Messrs. Writ G..
Bowman, George H. Fielder, F.
L. Bosch and A. M. Gillespie,
with regard to the objects and
aims of such an organization,
General Cabell presented them
some plain truths which a mem
ber of the committee has re-
quested The Oasis to
make public.
The chief topic to which al
lusion is made was embodied in
an assertion by General Cabell
that civilians have no right to
arm themselves and participate
in military operations, or en-
gage in conflict where troops
are employed-to do so is in
contravention with the Articles
of War and international Law.
(See articles on the Hague Con-
ference in Encyclopaedia Brit
tanica, Volume II, page $50, and
Volume XIII, pages 13 and 49,
The general stated that
should an armed civilian be cap
tured by an enemy military
force should he cross the line
armed and without military
uniform, he may be executed
and the government of the u.
S. could not make any effort to
save him, being bound by the
provisions of the Articles of
War.
The member of the commit
tee desired The Oasis to state
that any citizen with arms
should identify himself with
the National Guard, and in case
of disturbance should remain in
his home, or repair to the town
hall, report there to the officers
of the Home Guard, and be gov
err ed by their orders, who viii
be governed in their turn by
competent military authority.
