We need the development of men in the open country, who will be in the future, as in the past, the stay and strength of the nation in time of war, and its guiding and controlling spirit in time of peace.
Warning is expressly given to all persons not to commit any of the acts herein enumerated and which are prohibited by law.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
