And, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution of the United States, and the aforesaid sections of the
Revised Statutes, I do hereby further proclaim and direct that the
conduct to be observed on the part of the United States toward all
natives, citizens, denizens or subjects of Austria-Hungary, being
males of the age of fourteen years and upward, who shall be within
the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be as follows:
All natives, citizens, denizens or subjects of
Austria-Hungary, being males of fourteen years and upward
who shall be within the United States and not actually
naturalized, are enjoined to preserve the peace toward the
United States and to refrain from crime against the public
safety and from violating the laws of the United States
and of the States and Territories thereof.
And to refrain from actual hostility or giving
information, aid or comfort to the enemies of the United
States.
And to comply strictly with the regulations which are
hereby or which may be, from time to time, promulgated by
the President.
And so long as they shall conduct themselves in accordance
with law, they shall be undisturbed in the peaceful
pursuit of their lives and occupations and be accorded the
consideration due to all peaceful and law-abiding persons,
except so far as restrictions may be necessary for their
own protection and for the safety of the United States.
