PROCLAMATION ON FILIPINOS
BY GENERAL. MacARTHUR.
Laws of War Laid Down to Natives.
Commanding General Must be Obey-
edTerms "Rebels" and "Traitors"
IVataed Insurgent Leaders Given
Warning. Those Who Disobey Must
Staffer.
Ta following is tbe text of General
MaeAarthur's proclamation to the Fili-
pinos: Office of the United States Mili-
tary Governor in the Philippine Is-
laards. and Headquarters Division
of the Philippines Manila. P. I..
December 20 A Proclamation:
la the armed struerejle between the
sovereign power of tho United States
now In progress !n these islands fre-
queat violations of important provis-
ion of the law of war have recently
manifested themselves rendering it
. imperative while rejecting every con-
sideration of bclligerancy of those op-
posing the government in the Bense In
whiea the term belligerency is general-
ly accepted and understood to remind
all concerned of the existence of these
laws that exemplary punishments at-
tach to the infringement thereof that
their strict observance is required not
only by combatant forces but as well
by aon-combatants. native or alien re-
siding within occupied places.
In pursuance of this purpose refer-
ence is made to the following provis-
ions of the laws of war. as most es-
sential for consideration under present
coalitions:
First A place district or country oc-
cuoicd in consequence of regular mili-
tary operations by an organized com-
batant force stands by reason of said
oocaaation. under the martial law of
the occupying army. The command-
ins general owes protection to all peo-
pl residing within the places occu-
pii who perform with fidelity the du-
ties imposed upon them from which
considerationresults the obligation up
on the nart of the people and civil
officitls of the occupied territory of
strict obedience to the commanding
eeneral of the occupying force.
The present necessity for alluding to
the laws of war arises from th fact
that many proclamations recently is
sues' by insurgent commanders tnreat-
' en aunishment against all native in
habitants of occupied places who ac-
cept the reciprocal relations above de-
scribed and from the further fact that
in the prosecution of this policy the
mandates of the insurgent officers to
kidnap and assassinate residents of
occaoled towns have been succsrui
ly executed. It cannot therefore be
too emphatically declaredthat an en
gaged in such transactions from the
' authority making the proclamation to
the parties of execution are collec
tivly and individually guilty of vio
lation of the laws of war and must
eventually answer for murder or such
other crime as may result from ther
unlawful actions.
Notice is accordingly given to In-
surgent leaders already committed to
or who may be contemplating on
such a system of warfare that the
practice therefor will necessarily ter-
minate the possibility of those engag-
ing therein returning to normal civic
relations in the Philippines. That
is to say persons charged with viola-
tion of the laws of war above enu-
meiated must sooner or later be
tried for felonious crimes with all the
possibilities of conviction; or. as an on-
ly means of escape therefrom must
become fugitive criminals beyond the
jurisdiction of the United States which
in effect means life-long expatriation.
Second Persons residing within an
occupied place who do things inimi-
cal to the interests of the occupying
army are known as war rebels or
war traitors according to the na
ture oftheir overt acts and are punish
able at the discretion of the tribunals
of the occupying army. To comply
with demands of an expelled public
enemy and make no report thereof
creates the presumption that the act
is voluntary and malicious. In such
a case a plea of intimidation can rare-
ly be accepted. The plain duty of peo
ple so threatened Is to report the facts
which must by reason of a common
language be of knowledge to a large
part of the resident community nad
thereby avert suspicion as to their
owa good faith and enable tbe com
manding general to act efficially in
behalf of their protection.
When however as is known to be
the case in many cases occupied by
United States troops secret commit
tees are permitted to exist and to act
in behalf of the so-called insurgent
government by collecting supplies re
cruiting men and sending military in
formation to the insurgent camps
it is not only difficult to afford ade-
quate protection but the well dispos-
. ed people who from a sense of timid-
ity or displaced sympathy for neigh-
bors persist in screening these com-
mittees in effect offer themselves as
easy victims to be plundered and mur
dered and also expose themselves to
the danger of being classified and tried
as war. traitors against the United
States.
The principal object of this procla-
mation is to instruct all classes
throughout the archipelago as to the
requirements as to the laws of war
in respect of the particulars herein re-
ferred tq and to advise all concerned
of the purpose to exact in the fu-
ture precise compliance therewith.
The practice to send supplies to the
insurgent troops from piaces occu-
pied by the United States as is now
the case must cease. If contuma-
cious or faint-hearted people contin-
ue to engage in this traffic they must
be prepared to answer for their actions
under the penalties described in this
article.
Third The remarks embodied in the
foregoing article all apply with spec-
ial force to the city of A-anila. which
is well known as rendezvous from
which an extensive correspondence is
distributed to all parts of the' archi-
pelago by sympathizers with and
emissaries of the insurrection. All per-
sons in Manila and elsewhere are
again reminded that the entire archi-
pelago is necessarily under tbe rigid
rstraints of martial law and that
any contribution of advice informa-
tion of supplies and al Ithe effect of
which is to give aid support encour-
agement or comfort to the armed op
position in the field arc faraut via- I
latlon of American interests and per-
sons so acting will be punished.
Papers and other periodicals of Ma-
nila are especially admonished that
any article published in the midst of
such military environment which by
any construction can be placed as se-
ditious must be regarded as intended
to injure the army of occupation and
as subject in all connected with the
publication to such punitive action as
may be determined by the undersigned.
Men who participate in hostilities
without being part of a regularly or-
ganized force and without sharing
continuously in its' operations but who
do so with the intermittent returns to
their homes and vocations. divest
themselves of the character of soldiers
and. if captured are not entitled to
the privilege of prisoners or war.
It is well known that many of the
occupied towns support and encourage
men who habitually assume the sem-
blance of peaceful pursuits but who
have arms hidden outside of the towns
and periodically slip out and take part
in the guenll warfare.
The fact that such men have not
heretofore been responsible for their
actions is simply an evidence of the
solicitude of tbe United States to avoid
all appearance of harshness in pacify
ing the islands and not of any defect
in the law itself. The people of the
archipelago are now instructed as to
the precise nature of the law applica
ble in such cases and are warned to
mistrust leaders who not only require
soldiers to expose themselves to the
ordinary vicissitudes of campaign but
insist upon duties that necessarily ex-
pose all who engage therein to the pos-
sibility"of trial for a capital offense
War. in its earliest form was an act
of violence which from the very
nature of primitive humanity and of
the forces employed knew no bounds.
Mankind from the beginning of civili-
zation however has tried to mitigate
and to escape as far as possible from
the consequences of this barbarous
conception of warlike actions and to
that end conventions have been held
from time to time for internal discus
sion of the customs and linage of war.
in the hope that some means might be
devised to regulate by rule the bene-
ficent instincts of humanity.
As a consequence of such conferences
a code has slowly evolved which al-
though uncertain in many particulars
contains certain fundamental prin-
ciples which have been accepted and
are now insisted upon by the public
opinion of the world. The articles. dis-
cussed in this paper have been adopted
by all civilized nations. Their careful
perusal by the people it is hoped
will induce all who are eager for the
tranquil ization of the archipelago to
combine for mutual protection and
united action in behalf of their own
interests and welfare of the country.
