Formal Proclamation: Sheriff EDGERTON today issued the following proclamation, a notice to the foreign-born residents of Genesee county: I, Freeman EDGERTON, sheriff of Genesee county, deem it wise in the present crisis, in this formal proclamation, to assure all residents of foreign birth that the United States having become actively involved in the great European War, no citizen of any foreign power resident in Genesee county need fear any invasion of his personal or property rights so long as he goes peaceably about this business and conducts himself in a law-abiding manner. I take this formal means of declaration to all foreign-born residents that they will be protected in the ownership of their property and money and they will be free from personal molestation, so long as they obey the laws of the state and nation and the ordinances of the communities in which they reside. I urgently request that all our people refrain from public discussion of questions involved in the present crisis and maintain a calm and considerate attitude toward all, without regard to their nationality. Let it be understood that every citizen owes undivided allegiance to the American flag, that he is expected to loyally fulfill all obligations which citizenship 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 opinion inflicts upon the memory of traitors in all lands.
