There is no statement with respect to civilians. It may be that there are a few civilians there. but you can not turn back sympathizers of a cause who have been coming in with the army and expect them to go over to the territory of the enemy. where they evidently would be assassinated or annihilated. Even if there are few of them. the United States Government does have the obligation resting upon it to take care of them. at least until the few refugees who ire civilians may be eliminated. Inasmuch as- the amendment which has already been adopted specifies only military persons. refugees under the expenditure which we are making now can receive no benefit hereafter if they have received it in the past.
